The Movie Paradise

With all the attention on Avengers: Infinity War right now, it's strange to think that Deadpool 2 comes just a couple weeks after it. In fact, the film comes out just a month from yesterday. This is one I've been waiting for since the end credits rolled for the first Deadpool. That film was such a breath of fresh air for the comic book genre. It spoofed the genre in so many ways, while also being raunchy, funny, and action-packed. It took everyone by surprise, not just with how good it was, but also by how well it did at the box office. It made $783 million dollars at the worldwide box office, which is insane for a low budget, R-rated movie about a (then) obscure comic book character. So, needless to say, it was a win across the board. And I think the sequel will be even better. I may sound crazy for saying that, but everything is pointing to Deadpool 2 being better than the first one. I could be completely dead wrong on that, but right now that's what I'm thinking go…

While I loved the first Jurassic World, I haven't been super enthusiastic for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. I've definitely been looking forward to it; it was on my top ten list for my most anticipated films of the year. But I haven't been counting down the days to it in the same way I have been for other summer releases, like Avengers: Infinity War or Deadpool 2. I thought the first trailer for Fallen Kingdom was okay at best, as I didn't think it was the best way to introduce us to the movie. I liked the Super Bowl trailer they put out far better. And now, with just a couple months left until the movie hits theaters, we are getting our third and final trailer for Fallen Kingdom. With this trailer, I'm looking to get a better sense of the story. We have gotten pieces of it with the previous trailers, but not enough to see how it all comes together. I also want to see the movie will fuse the action and horror together. The first trailer emphasized the action, wh…

Welcome to this week's Nerd Round-Up. Essentially what we do here is we take a look at all things circulating in the world of nerdom. We break down these down, anything ranging from superheroes to Star Wars, and every other geek-centric thing in between. We analyze the smaller bits of news that weren't big enough stories to necessarily warrant an entire article, but are still significant and important and worthy of discussing. Perhaps it's casting news, a contract detail, a set image, or something else that's more on the minor side, but is still definitely worth talking about. This is a time and place for all of us unabashed nerds to come together and talk about the things that we love so much in the movie-sphere. So, without further ado, let's get started with this week installment of Nerd Round-Up.

Charlize Theron has confirmed that a sequel to last year's Atomic Blonde is in the works. I really liked the first film a lot. I thought it was a brutal, fun actio…

The Incredibles certainly made an impression on me as a kid. As a child who grew up loving comic books and superheroes, The Incredibles came out at the perfect time. It's such a fun movie, but it also has a lot of deep and mature themes that I didn't come to fully understand nor appreciate until later in life. In many ways, it was a commentary on a genre of filmmaking that hadn't yet hit its prominence. But now we are entirely inundated with comic book movies, and, with the current climate, now actually becomes the best time to make an Incredibles 2. I would have preferred the sequel had taken place in real time, with it jumping fourteen years in the future, and with the kids all grown up and the parents significantly older. But Brad Bird decided it was best for the movie to pick up right where the original left off (literally), and I trust his judgment. More than anything else, I'm just excited to finally go back to this world. It is so ripe for new material and new m…

With every new weekend comes more new movies to go see in the theaters. The movie theater is easily the best place to see a film. As good as your setup may be at home, nothing will ever come close to the magic of the movie theater. And getting to go see a movie on a Friday or Saturday night after a long hard week is simply euphoric. Now, not every movie that opens in theaters is a winner. We've all been tricked by a film that we thought would be good and it ended up being horrible. On the flip side, we've also all avoided a movie that we thought looked bad but it ended up being really good. It's tricky to know exactly what to see and what not to see. So, in this new weekly series, I break down what new movies are opening in theaters, what the critics are saying about them, and I state whether or not I think they are worth seeing. On that note, let's look at what's opening this weekend.
