Silly fun at its finest, The Brothers Grimsby is a warning that the only thing more dangerous than the world’s greatest spy is his brother. It will be on the big screen next March 11th.
Independence Day: Resurgence will be on the big screen on June 24, 2016, and I was already looking forward to it before this trailer was released. Having scavenged recovered alien technology and merged it with our own, the nations of Earth have collaborated on a defense program they hope will allow us to survive the next attack. When that attack finally arrives, it turns out we are nothing close to ready, and only the brilliant innovations of a select group of individuals give us any chance at all.
Written by J.K. Rowling, because everyone needs to revisit the world of Harry Potter, comes Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. In theaters November 2016.
This is the weekend we finally get to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and I have been ready since they first announced J.J. Abrams would be heading up the new films. I am definitely seeing it Friday, and will let the film decide if it needs to be seen again Saturday and/or Sunday. Also out this week is He Never Died, the crowdfunded fantasy starring Henry Rollins. And if you are a fan of great Asian films Mojin: The Lost Legend is a good Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider kind of story based on the #1 bestselling series of novels by Zhang Muye. This particular movie is based on his book Ghost Blows Out the Light, and if it does good enough at the box office perhaps they will turn the entire series into movies, one after the other.
American Hero is about Melvin, a reluctant Superhero who lives to party, until he tries to reconnect with his estranged son. That’s about it for genre this time around; I am thinking this weekend would be a good time to stream and catch up with some of the TV series I watch.
Gods of Egypt looks like a lot of fun if this trailer is any indication. It will be in theaters on February 26, 2016, and this video makes me think somebody looked around for inspiration after watching the Thor films and Stargate series, landing on the rich mythology of ancient Egypt for their way to access the other franchise’s audiences. While I don’t expect this film to turn out to be an award winner, it does look like it could be silly fun.
