Venom Still No. 1

*10/22/18, Looks like I'll be coming back in November in time for the Holiday movies. And yes,
I'm aware that Google Plus is shutting down, so we'll keep on going until then.
In the meantime here's another update since I didn't feel like doing another blog for the Halloween movie which just plain sucked.

https://variety.com/2018/film/news/venom-international-box-office-a-star-is-born-hallowen-1202987678/
Both Venom and Star are doing great Box Office overseas. While looks like Venom will be on course with Deadpool heading to $700M range, Star is going to match Hugh Jackman's The Greatest Showman with close to $500M. Which means Mary Poppins is going to kill at Holiday season.
Well there should be room for Aguaman and Spidey. Bumblebee? Well........

Movie Reviews:
Halloween: 1, Boring as hell and way too long. If it wasn't for the music this would be a wipe out.
Venom: 3, this would have gotten a 4 if it wasn't so badly edited. Why did take so long to Venom to show up, where's the 40 minutes and what happen to the R rating. Hopefully all on the BR edition.
But Hardy nailed it and the humor between him and Venom was great. Venom 2 bring it on!
Star is Born: 4, great version this time. Golden Globes for everyone. Gaga nails it as Cooper doing double duty as Director and Actor. And this time the songs are finally better this time.
First Man: 1 !!! The 2nd most overrated movie of the year (that asian comedy gets the no. 1 spot).
Boring as FK and you couldn't care less about anyone in this flix. SFX total MEH.
Bad Times El Royale: 1, This tried so hard to be a Tarantino film that it forgot to be entertaining.
Over loaded with flashbacks even at the very end. And will someone tell Thor to keep his shirt on.

So cool. Suit looks great and he wears it well. And loved that flip he did at the end. Extra cool.

You go Jodie! Another great mark for her. Now..better scripts. Better Scripts Please!

This is way too funny. It's beginning to be a bad joke now. More Zombies! Less annoying Characters!

Venom doing great overseas and close to crossing the $400M mark in 2 weeks. That's so cool.

Final episode? That's it? But at least we're getting a Batsuit instead of a "S" on a t-shirt. Burn lol.

Deadline: Pennysworth the Butler, Batman Prequel
Talk about going backwards, was anyone asking for this? Alfred gets his own series. Holy Batshit!
What good is it if you don't see any of the goons unless they young too. Wow that's bad.

And nobody expected this to come from outta left field. Well better than a damn butler show.
But the big mystery what does this have to do with the movie. And still my fav Batmobile.

Once the fans heard Lincoln leaving it was over. Actually once they killed Glen it was downhill from there. Now the second episode had even lower ratings. And the producers wanted spinoffs?
Jodie is perfect as the new Doctor. Just hope the scripts are better than Calpadi's run as the Doc.

Watch this one go in the dumper ratings aka Enterprise. Spock with a beard. Klingons with hair.
Gotta get that Picard show on the air as soon as possible. At least Orville will kick ass in the ratings.

These award shows are so dead. And it's always the same winner. Swift Wins! Surprise. Boring.
Look out Oscars. Nominated movies that nobody sees. Not even when they show up on Netflix. Ouch

Best of September Blog

A little late posting this but hopefully October will be sooner. Mark will still be doing MNN solo until I get back whenever that is. But there will be a  repeat on Oct. 6 as Mark will be at comic con.

Smallfoot: 3, Cool songs with a message. Goat steals the picture  and "Curiosity killed the Yack" line.
House of Clock: 1, Burton meets Potter wannabe, this was boring as hell. And based on a book?
Predator: 2, Great Laboratory escape scene, then they introduced the dogs and the film went downhill from there. Besides the Predator universal translator there was nothing here. Man they blew it.
Peppermint: 3, There's a franchise here, besides Neeson is getting old or they could team up lol.
Kin: 2, Meh but a good surprise ending. If only this had a budget, but a good try tho.
Papillon: 2, Needless remake. But it did have an extra 5 minutes at the end showing the real Papillon.

Double dipping us even before we see the movie. Does that mean we should wait for BR?

No much here just like the summer. Wreck it Ralph sequel and Mary Poppins. That's about it.
Bumblebee and Aquaman? Umm aka Han Solo and Justice League. 2 wrecks for the winter.

This is so funny. Now Disney is concentrating on Star Wars for TV. Talk about full circle when Trek was TV gone to the big screen. Guess that Rian trilogy might be on hold after all.

The job nobody wanted. Career suicide as they were calling it. That's how Kennedy kept her job.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/netflix-offers-choose-your-own-endings/
Sounds like fun. Now can we choose better scripts, acting and SFX (looking at you syfy).

http://www.darkhorizons.com/amc-plans-another-decade-of-walking-dead/
That's great but who is going to be watching. This season is going to be a wipe out once
Rick leaves. And why is Neegan still around? And why.......never mind, Fk this show.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/mcqueen-dont-watch-movies-on-laptops/
We don't. We watch them on our phones when we don't watch them on big ass flat screen tvs while going thru the Netflix menu. wow get with the program lol.
