Star Wars Solo Tanks !

Next show with Mark will be on June 1. This blog will be back in 2 weeks after getting on a plane.

Mini Review:
ST Solo: 3 out of 5:
Great action scenes, but what was the point of  introducing characters just to kill them off half way thru the film? Pushing the action figures again? The big miscast was Lando not Han. And that Darth angle at the end was so lame. A character from the worst entry of the series? Lazy Writing, courtesy of Deadpool screenwriting 101. lol.

Update:

Wow, where did all the hardcore fans go to save this? In the meantime a Studio Executive at the office is Praying: "Please Lord I don't want to lose my job" Lolol..

Ouch that's got to hurt Disney. A rated R movie out of all things, lol. And check out the comments and who they would like to see get fired. Yep that studio executive, lol.

Lets face it. When your Disney and your franchise film opens at No. 3 in China, it's pretty much over.
At least it didn't buried DP2 which is the better movie anyways. But lets face it. Solo is just an iconic character that audience was not going to accept a young actor doing it. Simple as that.

Now we know who to blame lol. The main problem wass the script. It's so lazy and hardly any imagination. AT least the action was great. But of course that cameo and Solo talking about Jabba the Hut deal for another sequel which at this time doesn't look it's going to happen.

"Low ratings? I'm outta here" Talk about jumping ship. Yeah give the lead to Norman, who's the fans favorite  anyways. But lets face it, that whole Neegan plot is burned out already, him and that stupid bat.

Update: It's James Marsden, former Cyclops and Westworld star who got he lead.

Thanks to Rampage doing huge overseas this gets a pass. But this could work. Yeah always was a sucker for the game.

Thanks to Jumanji now we get this? Sad this is the best Hollywood can come up with.

Avengers IW Top 5 Of All time

New show on MNN this Saturday May 19 at 5pm. I'll be back to Co-host the show this time.

Update:
http://variety.com/2018/film/news/deadpool-2-box-office-avengers-infinity-war-1202811416/
It would take another superhero movie to take out Avengers. At least it won't be a downer aka DCU.
Yeah I had to say it. Then we have Solo which is getting Goods reviews. Hopefully the hate won't be strong in this one, lol.

Wow, that was quick. Thanks so China, the land that shows no love to thre Star Wars Franchise. Now where in the top 5 will it land? It has to break the $2 Billion mark to compete with the Top 3 including Star Wars, Titanic and Avatar. While the Force and the Boat looks like a done deal, the Blue Monkeys looks like a stretch.

Fan dream waiting to happen. While all the promo clips are on the money and no doubt DP2 will be huge while at the same time not taking away from IW, this just adds to another franchise waiting to happen with Hugha nd Ryan. Lets face it. All the fans want that first encounter to go away with the Woverine movie. Man how they got that wrong. If for any other reason is that to make it happen.

So is that the better part of the movie considering those have seen the preview says that 30% of it sucks.

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/jon-favreau-confirms-star-wars-show-will-take-place-after-return-of-the-jedi-153-02
Well that makers sense. Where else can it be? They already did the Clone Wars and Rebels covered other ground. So thats a lot to play with. At least it's in good hands with Favreau. I'm not counting Jungle Book by the way. I completely ignore that one.

Best news of the year for us at home. But man that is alot seasons to watch. Then there is the repeats. How can you watch an episode with so much trivia and easter eggs in one episode. Bring back the Pickle !!!

"Who would want to see a bunch of creatures that can't see it's prey but can hear them instead?"
said the network executive who doesn't go to the movies. DUH!!!
It's an old premise that never gets tired. Just ask that husband and wife team with thier movie this past spring, lol. How some executives get thier positions is beyond me. God know theri cretively empty inside to begin with.

https://theplaylist.net/chris-evans-neill-blomkamp-greenland-20180513/
So lets see. No future Capt. America and no Alien sequel with Whipley. And this is so suppose to be good news about another disaster picture? Well I actually I like disaster pictures but this is kind of a bummer, lol.

Avengers IW Heading to Top 10 All Time

Next show on May 17, Saturday at 5 pm. Hopefully I can make it for the next show.
And by request this weeks blog will be short and sweet lol.

http://variety.com/2018/film/box-office/box-office-avengers-infinity-war-second-biggest-second-weekend-1202800624/
And more records will be broken. At this point all that it matters is where in the top 5 in the U.S. and top 10 World Wide10 in the all time charts its going to land. While the U.S. is given with the repeats, how is China going to figure in all this for the final countdown. Now the fun part begins.

http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/one-infinity-war-actor-bids-farewell-to-his-character-for-good-206
Well Agent 009 (aw c'com its gotta happen) is saying goodbye to one franchise. Gotta admit, he's come a long way since Thor 1. All he needs is his all franchise and he's good to go. PS Dark Tower doesn't count. Cue Bond music.

https://lrmonline.com/news/third-installment-of-sherlock-holmes-gets-a-release-date/
A movie nobody was asking for especially after the last boring one. Well RDJ got the remake of Dr. Doolittle coming up soon so I guess he's trying to fill up his plate after his stint with Avengers is done. Or is it? lol.

https://www.slashfilm.com/solo-sequels/
DUH! Worse kept secret since Disney brought the SW franchise. Well they are going to get their wish. Hardcores hated Last Jedi that they will make this a hit aka Rogue One regardless how miscast Solo is. Lets face it. Lando will be stealing the show anyways so who cares.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/cannes-keanu-reeves-alex-winter-reteaming-bill-ted-3-1107419
This is so excellent! But who talks like that anymore. And while I love time travel wouldn' these guys kind of dated. And also.......aw screw it! bring it on. Great to see Keanu back to his comic roots.

https://lrmonline.com/news/disneys-live-action-mulan-to-have-ridiculously-high-budget/
Wow is this really necessary? The story is mostly about her hiding as a man. Did they see the original? There wasn't that much fighting going on to need a budget that high. Well guess Disney has a few coins to toss around after SW and Avengers, eh?
