SLAM!

Let's hope it's Brad Bird... for the good of the industry...

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film is surprisingly good. Can this do better than expected? Perhaps it can gross similarly to Breaking In. 74% Average Rating: 6.2/10 Reviews Counted: 23 Fresh: 17 Rotten: 6

I heard that the fourth Chris Pine Star Trek film is being worked on, though they did also announce the Tarantino project as well.

I've seen this and I can confirm that the film is extremely well done. It is available on Google Play, and I highly suggest that people watch it. It'll be on my list as well.

So, I was watching Sony's E3 aftershow when they showed a sizzle reel of Playstation VR games, and one of them was Creed: Rise to Glory -- it was revealed in March but it's the first time I've heard about it. It is, simply put, a Virtual Reality boxing game. If the game releases around the time of Creed 2, it certainly couldn't hurt the game's sales; I feel like a technical showcase such as this could only help. This is smart on MGM's part.

I think it's absolutely crazy that rap has surpassed pop in such a way. Then again, the current wave of pop musicians aren't exciting in the least. Yes, there's legitimate artists like Harry Styles and Alessia Cara, but they're few and far between. Pop has simply become much staler than it used to be, and it's just reality that an audience would do a mass migration towards another genre if nothing in the genre is legitimate. I feel like what makes pop music "pop music" is being fundamentally misunderstood in the current landscape, to be honest.

I'm not surprised at all about the film's quality. This definitely feels like the this film is to the first Incredibles what Finding Dory was to Finding Nemo, and that's about what I expected. Exciting!

The trailer definitely seems to have Abrahamson's touch to it. I'm definitely rooting for this film, but I'm prepared for this film to be called stale.

I sure hope Tails and Knuckles are still in it... But honestly this doesn't sound half bad on paper. We'll see.

This. There's only so much mud a comedy can trudge through before it crosses a line and drowns in it. I've never seen the film, but I have read about it on Common Sense Media, and I have to say, I don't think there's anything remotely about it, with the sole exception possibly being the way Barry Keoghan eats spaghetti.

We can count on quite a few people to voluntarily omit it anyways. That's what I'm doing.

@cannastop Question: Is there a rule against 2018 films? I'd love to put Isle of Dogs on my list but I'm not sure if you're trying to prevent any recency bias.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the film that Entertainment Studios chose to replace Replicas with in the 2018 schedule: Stuck, a dramatic musical. The IMBd synopsis is this: [Stuck is] an original pop musical film about six strangers who get stuck on a New York City subway together and change each others lives in unexpected ways. The film stars Giancarlo Esposito, Ashanti, Amy Hardigan, and others. The film is set to release on August 24th against A.X.L., Destination Wedding (though Box Office Mojo hasn't dated it yet), and Slender Man (which may not release, as Sony was reported to have been shopping it around to other distributor).

It has an RT score -- 69%.

This will be getting a lot of the audience that Coco got, and it will be a new high for Eugenio Derbez, whose comedies have been very popular with the hispanic audience. In fact, this should appeal very well to Latin & South American countries like Coco did.

What are they thinking?! That's gonna scare the children! Why aren't they thinking of the children?! Geez Louise!

I think that's a different character, and that this is the design of Baloo:

I knew someone would make this eventually. Awesome! I can't wait to make a list for this!

Well, geez... that's very good!

I'm just implying that all of the hubbub could likely take away attention from movie trailers if they are released while the companies are having their press conferences. It's a fairly big event, with many eyes directed towards it.

I can't wait to see the grosses of all three of the new releases, and I also can't wait to see what the two marquee limited releases of the week, the documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? and the coming-of-age drama Hearts Beat Loud, are able to gross as well. This is an exciting week.
