The Big Summer Blog


Time to do some catching up. So here is the latest news from the past 2 weeks and my 2 cents on it.
Note: Due to time limits this blog will be updated in the next coming week.

Update 8/3/18
More Mini-reviews:
EQ2: 1, Denzal got it right the first time. This was a total bore. Where did the action go?
Hotel T3: 2,  liked the first 2 but this was a missed opportunity. Where did the humor go in this one?
Skyscraper: 1, 3 things missing: George the ape, Bruce Willis and token one liner: Yippy Ky Ay MF.
Mama Mia:2, Love Abba (always gad big bad crush on the blonde one) but not even Chere couldn't save this one. If you didn't know the catalog you were lost. Should have re-used the hits again.
Mini-reviews:
MI Fallout: 4, Seeing Cruise take on Superman gone bad was way cool even tho Rogue Nation is the best one out of all of them. So now how is he going to top this one?

Godzilla Trailer: 5, I don't review trailers. This is the exception. This gave me chills. And to be honest this was way better than most movies seen this year. Nothing but sequels. Ugh.

Godzilla Anime 2: 1, So friggin boring. GZ does nothing till the end. Thats it? All that build up for nothing. And talk of MechaGZ and that doesn't even show up for a showdown. What a waste.

Old school at it's best. Including the original soundtrack from 1964 and to top it off, film scratches all over the original print. Total classic. Much more talk on Godzilla coming soon to this blog.

Compare to other franchises, this should have opened bigger. Either way we're still going to get some more sequels on the way. But Bond producers should hire Cruise as a producer. He knows what kind of action the audience wants.action.

He should go for the Bond franchise. He was on the list before so why not. Even tho I'm still for Tom Hardy since he could bring in Nolan since Nolan always covers him for work. Either one would be great. Craig is too old for it now anyways.  Time for fresh blood all around.

Not to be a down head but all this reeks of desperation. Let's bring back everyone so the hardcore will stop bitching and show up. Lando anyone? At least the promised the end of the Skywalker plotline.
That has worned out it's welcome as soon as they mentioned Rey parents were just drunks, thats when everything out the window. Now about those tv versions......

About time. Now we can get F4 and X-Men to join The Avengers. Have Wolverine join Deadpool sequel with a NC-17 rating. Body Count! And call Neil and Signourney about that Alien sequel.

Or Plan B: Ratings tank and Andrew steps. They offer $20M to Norman whether shows survives or not. Done deal for both. Now that's a pack lol.
