‘Star Trek: Picard’ Returns to Television
Admittedly, I wasn’t aware of another Star Trek television show in the works until Comic-Con this year. I learned that Sir Patrick Stewart — after all this time — is reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard in the aptly titled, Star Trek: Picard. It takes place decades after Star Trek: The Next Generation.
‘Zombieland: Double Tap’ Trailer
It’s been a while since the delightfully dark comedy, Zombieland, came out. Ten years later, and the trailer for Zombieland: Double Tap, is out. And it’s quick to point out just how good the actors are.
‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ Trailer
I won’t lie that it felt a little odd that Jumanji was getting a sequel years after the original. Then Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle came out and made me forget that I thought that. It was a fantastic sequel that wasn’t afraid of what it was. It took the premise and modernized it in a fun way, while still showing love for the original. Then a third movie was announced.
‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ Out Now
Okay, maybe I’m way behind on that.
If there’s one thing sorely missing from Blu-ray commercials, it’s having one of the actors in-character to convince you to buy the movie. For instance, what if the T-1000 vaguely threatened you to purchase Terminator 2: Judgement Day? I know; me too; just typing it had me reaching for my wallet.
Matt Reeves Write & Directs ‘The Batman’
Per usual, I’m very late to the party, but I digress.
Batman v Superman brought Batman back in the comic book movie fold and kick-started DC’s film universe. Granted, after Justice League, they decided to change gears and not have the movies as connected as their counterpart in Marvel’s cinematic universe. The ongoing movies are more loosely connected instead. One in particular is the change in actor playing Batman.
(more…)‘The Avengers: Endgame’ Trailer and Thoughts (Sort Of)
It’s been eons since the first trailer for Marvel’s most anticipated film, The Avengers: Endgame came out. Oh, by the way, the latest and possibly final entry for The Avengers movies is Endgame. It was kind of a given, considering Doctor Strange’s line in the fight on Titan against Thanos in Infinity War.
(more…)‘Fast and Furious’ Spinoff ‘Hobbs and Shaw’ Gains Antagonist
A rumored schism caused a spinoff from the Fast and Furious franchise — or was it the other way around? Either way, the spinoff is well underway with Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as the titular characters: Hobbs and Shaw. It’s a peculiar pairing, considering one was a cop and the other is a killer.
