[BK007]

The Post - Spielberg & Hanks.

Alpha - Looks like an epic

Ready Player One - Premise is a bit iffy, but sci-fi and Spielberggggg.

Lara Croft - Alicia Vikander

Darkest Hour - Gary Oldman

Isle of Dogs - Trailer ran too long, but Wes Anderson.

12 Strong - I quite liked the Soldiers of Benghazi

Annihilation - Sci-fi

7 Days in Entebbe - Historical event.

Chappaquiddick - Sucker for historical controversy

Red Sparrow - Decent enough

Molly's Game - Chastain.

Early Man - Aardman

Paddington 2 - Good reviews

Maze Runner: The Death Cure - Just completion's sake

Peter Rabbit - Looks like it could be fun

All the Money in the World - Saw Ransom, wasn't that great.

Rampage - The Rock, though not sure about it.

Every Day - Has potential.

Death Wish - B-grade, but could be good if it's batshit crazy

Gringo - Could be funny

The Commuter - Liam Neeson, though the sub-genre has got pretty stale

Den of Thieves - Thorough B-grade movie, but who knows?

The 15:17 to Paris - Would be more interested if it weren't starring the same guys. Massive turn-off with the circle jerking.

Proud Mary - Atomic Blonde wasn't great. Neither was Ghost in the Shell. 

I, Tonya - Not sure the topic is really that interesting.

Love, Simon - Probably cheesy, but never seen a mainstream gay rom-com yet.

Black Panther - Looks pretty terrible.

The Disaster Artist - For all the reviews and buzz, looks like it utterly failed to breakout. Probably just another internal Franco joke.

Game Night - Uh, looks like a high school assignment, but Bateman and McAdams.

Almost Friends - Probably the same indie coming of age crap, but familiar faces.

Pacific Rim: Uprising - How did this get made? Token Chinese actress with nothing to do inside too. 

Mary Magdalene - Phoenix, Mara and Ejiofor in a God movie? Hmm.

 

Summer & Beyond

Avengers: Infinity War - Really looks quite good. 

Solo - Not interested.

Deadpool 2 - Doesn't really interest me.

Ocean's 8 - Maybe, if the reviews are good.

The Incredibles 2 - Have to watch it.

Jurassic World - Uh, not great. But, dinosaurs. Maybe.

Sicario 2 - Weird sequel, but sure.

Alita - Had potential, instead looks cringeworthy.

Mamma Mia! - Not really my thing.

Smallfoot - Meh.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms - Inching a little away from redoing their own films, but still too Disney for me.

Mortal Engines - Wow. Didn't realize it was one year away. Date change? 

Spiderman - Thought both this and Mortal Engines were in the summer. Interesting animation, but not sure I care.

<sidenote> December 2018 has a really intriguing lineup. Haven't been following BO for awhile, but what moved from it so that Mortal Engines, Spiderman, Aquaman and Bumblebee moved in? Will be fun to see what happens.

 

Won't See ever

Basmati Blues - Looks harmless, but curious as to how they made it and got Larson too.

Insidious: The Last Key - horror

Condorito: La Pelicula - no relation

Forever My Girl - romanticizing a father who walked out, no.

Winchester: The House that Ghosts Built - horror

Fifty Shades Freed - no.

La Boda de Valentina - no.

Samson - lol.

A Wrinkle in Time - Looks utter shit. Like utter shit. Probably the worst blend of Disneyfying and awful extravagant crappy CGI. Burn it.

(Really, really hate the shot of Witherspoon/Winfrey/Kaling in shitjob costumes in the middle of the field, screams overproduced, artificial Disney)

Midnight Sun - Same old Hollywood rom-com. Went out of date before they wrote down the idea.

Sherlock Gnomes - How did they afford to make this? 

Acrimony - Is there a real demographic for obsessed black women seeking revenge for infidelity? 

God's Not Dead 3 - 3.

Blockers - What are you doing Leslie Mann?

A Quiet Place - Interesting concept, hope it does well, but not for me.

New Mutants - Interesting take, but I'm no horror fan.

Overboard - Ok.

Super Troopers 2 - Never saw the first.

Permission - Another indie rom-com about sex.
