There's Another New Mutants Trailer Out!

I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been looking forward to the movie, The New Mutants for a while. If you haven't, you can see it here, here, here, and here. So, what are my thoughts on the new trailer after years of hype? It's pretty good.

I'm not entirely blown away by the new trailer, but I am happy with it. Apparently the new release date is April 3rd, 2020 according to Wikipedia. Let's back track for a moment and look at all the release dates. The New Mutants was first supposed be released on April 13th 2018, then it was pushed to February 22nd 2019 because of Deadpool 2, then it was pushed again August 2nd 2019 because of Dark Phoenix, and now that Disney has bought out Fox, it's supposed to come out April 3rd 2020.

I've waited for this film for too long. It's about freaking time they release it! I'm not the biggest superhero fan, but by golly I've been waiting for this film for so freaking long!!!

Apparently they're going to keep the film at a PG-13 rating which I am a little nervous about. I did hope that they would go all out. Imagine a horror superhero film with a hard R rating. That would be so freaking cool! I'm still excited for the film, but I wish they wouldn't hold back, and by keeping the film as a PG-13 it tells me that they're going to play it safe. This doesn't mean it will be bad, but it would have been cool if they were willing to take a few risks.

I really hope this movie is good. I think it's the last X-Men film that Fox hasn't released since they were bought by Disney. I might make another rant on why Disney acquiring more and more film companies is a bad thing. Oh crap, I'm going off on a tangent, let's get back on track. Eh?

The trailer looks decent enough, and they do have a solid cast. I enjoy Maisie Williams's acting and Anya Taylor-Joy is a good actress herself. Charlie Heaton has held his own as well. I'm happy with the fairly young cast the film has going for it. The real question isn't their acting abilities, but if the script is good. Gosh I hope the script is good.

All in all though, the trailer is pretty solid. I still looks like an X-Men film but with some horror elements. I had hope that it would go down the more Logan route and be a horror film first, but that is to be seen. Either way, they better not freaking push this film again!!!

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
