The second Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian world premiere actually took place at the Smithsonian in DC, which was totally appropriate. The third film in the series takes place at the British Museum, so I can make a good guess where its premiere will be held. Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb doesn’t seem to have a home page yet, but it won’t be hitting the big screen until December, so there is still time. I really do like this franchise, and I am quite happy they didn’t just make one movie and give up on the concept. In fact, it should be good for another 50 or so films, when you look at how many museums there are in the world of the caliber of the ones they started with.
TMNT, better known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, gets yet another reboot, and considering how kick ass the source material is, it well deserves it. I also suspect this may be the first time Michael Bay has made a movie for Nickelodeon, and it is certainly the first time I have been looking forward to seeing a Nickelodeon movie. I don’t feel the other Shinobe release this week, Ninja Apocalypse, is in anywhere near the same level of quality, and I will therefor ignore it.
The 3rd Interstellar trailer looks really good. The movie will be on the big screen this November, with the 7th being the target date for North America. And yes, I will be in the theater for this one.
Yes, someone actually did convert the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer into a Legos version. Enjoy!
After quite a long wait, Guardians Of The Galaxy is finally on the big screen this weekend. This group of criminals may be the only hope civilization has left, and boy, is civilization in trouble! It is not your only choice for the weekend; if you love Rock-N-Roll, you should also have Get On Up> on your list of films to check out, so you can get an idea of the struggle James Brown had getting his music out to the people. And Outpost 37 will be available in a limited number of theaters, a movie about a documentary crew who follows an elite unit of soldiers in the wake of an alien invasion. So you have a range of interesting choices this time around.
Only Lovers Left Alive was a British/German romantic vampire drama that came out in 2013, but not anywhere near where I lived. It has been nominated for a number of awards, and received a lot of critical attention, including getting an 87% at Rotten Tomatoes. One of the vampires writes music and does scientific research, using Tesla’s inventions to power his house and vehicles. Another wrote about half of Shakespeare’s plays. It will finally be released in the US on August 19th, and I am looking forward to finally being able to see it.
