It might be

I'm heading to the beach for a few days to find out.

Peace out!

Rise of the Warrior

The final Wonder Woman trailer was released this week...



Although the studio has released several shorter TV trailers over the past week, I feel like they've done a good job of keeping the trailers updated, without the feeling that we've already seen the entire movie.

I'm really hoping this movie turns out to be good, but am trying to keep my hopes realistic and balanced.

Fingers and all available body parts crossed.

The movie bursts onto screens June 2nd.

Built Ford Tough

The first full trailer for Blade Runner 2049 was released today...



It definitely has a similar look/feel/music to the original Blade Runner movie and also has a great cast (including Harrison Ford from the first film).

I'm definitely looking forward to it!

We'll see what everyone thinks once it opens on October 6th.

Happy Cinco de Rosario!

Star Wars Day

May the 4th be with you.

Shoot with my heart

The first trailer for The Dark Tower was released today...



I don't know anything about the books, but am just happy that it doesn't appear to feature Mathew McConaughey driving smugly in a car through the desert thinking to himself.

I hate those commercials.

The movie opens August 4th.

Mummy Memo

The Mummy team released a cool behind-the-scenes video that gives a bit more insight into their new female villain...



I do like Sofia Boutella (Kingsman and Star Trek Beyond), so will be interested to see how she does in this and what the reviews say before I decide to see it either way.

For now...looks pretty good.

Valerian Poster

A new poster for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets was just released...



It's probably smart for them to accentuate the Valerian branding because no one is going to remember the "and the City of a Thousand Planets" part when they go to buy a ticket.

Honestly, Ethel.

True Story

Hi, Hoe!

Johnny Depp, dressed as Jack Sparrow, surprised tourists on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland yesterday...



It looked like he was having fun and the tourists certainly seemed to enjoy it.

Of course, he wasn't there when I did that ride a few years ago....arrrrgh!

Jonathan Demme

Very sad news today...

Jonathan Demme, the Oscar winning director, producer and screenwriter and screenwriter, has died at age 73.

Born in Baldwin, Long Island, Demme has had one of the great filmmaking careers of his era, rising to prominence in the 1980s with his comedy films Melvin and Howard (1980), Swing Shift (1984), Something Wild (1986) and Married to the Mob (1988). He won his Oscar for directing The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and later helmed the acclaimed films Philadelphia (1993) and Rachel Getting Married (2008), along with many seminal documentaries such as the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense, and Neil Young: Heart of Gold. 

Like more than a few iconic directors Demme cracked into features making exploitation films for Roger Corman, directing such films as Caged Heat, Crazy Mama and Fighting Mad for Corman’s New World Pictures. His first breakthrough was Melvin and Howard, not a box office hit but a film that was critically acclaimed. He established his eclectic, energetic style with Stop Making Sense, followed by the manic Something Wild, the Spalding Gray monologue Swimming to Cambodia and the New York comedy Married to the Mob. 

Demme followed that with The Silence of the Lambs, one of the last films for Orion which was released in February and was the rare film to win all five major categories — Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay for Ted Tally, Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins & Best Actress for Jodie Foster –even though the studio didn’t have a ton of money to spend on a campaign, and horror is almost always overlooked by the Academy. Demme followed with Philadelphia, an early film that focused on the hypocrisy and prejudice surrounding the AIDS crisis, which won the Best Actor Oscar for Tom Hanks, who starred alongside Denzel Washington.

He directed some great films, was highly respected as a director, and beloved for his ability to work so well with actors and creative teams on each of his projects.

He will be missed.

All the Kingsman

The first trailer for Kingsman: The Golden Circle was released today...



It's definitely got a bigger all-star cast (including Colin Firth's character who died in the original), but still looks as crazy fun as the first one.

Exciting!

The movie opens on September 22nd.
