There’s Gonna Be a New Top Gun Movie

Top Gun: Maverick is going to be the next movie franchise to get a sequel several decades too late. It worked for Jumanji, but it didn’t work for Men in Black. At least Top Gun has brought Tom Cruise back.

Will it be any good? Who can say. Next year is going to be packed with interesting movies. I was never a huge fan of the original Top Gun. But this is a pretty good trailer. It makes the case for this movie to exist. So let’s keep an open mind and give Top Gun: Maverick a try!

The film comes out on June 26.

The Witcher TV Show Arrives on Friday!

December has been a pretty amazing month for television. New seasons of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The Expanse have already arrived, and later this month we’ll get a new season of Lost in Space. I’m in TV heaven! But most excitedly, The Witcher TV show arrives on Friday on Netflix!

I’m a huge fan of The Witcher video games, even though the show won’t have anything to do with the games. Chronologically, the show is set years, if not decades, before the games. And I haven’t read the books.

But The Witcher is an exciting world full of exciting characters, and the show looks to be truly high grade. I have my hopes high! The Witcher comes out on Dec. 20.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/14/19

Welcome to another weekend of solid, enjoyable comic book reviews! And it’s another week of my favorites! Like Wonder Twins! And the exciting new Far Sector! Plus Go Go Power Rangers! The three-issue Dawn of X cavalcade continues, but not for me…

Comic Book of the Week goes to the latest issue of Jane Foster: Valkyrie, which assembles possibly the most original superhero team in years!

Doctor Team 01

A superhero team for the ages!

Meanwhile, I’ve dropped Fallen Angels because I just don’t care anymore. I don’t care about the characters, I don’t care about the story, I don’t care about the writing or the art. It’s the first on the Dawn of X chopping block! Though it’s also going to be the first to take a break in a couple of months, with a new Hellions coming out next spring. I’ll have to check that one out!

Comic Reviews: Far Sector #2, Go Go Power Rangers #26, New Mutants #3, Valkyrie #6, Wonder Twins #10 and X-Force #3.

Bring on That Sweet, Sweet Jumanji!

I loved Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle! I was a big fan of the original film when I was a kid, but didn’t expect much out of this random sequel. But man, it was a great movie! Fun jungle action flick with a really emotional ending. I got choked up! I still do, rewatching that ending on YouTube.

So sure, here’s a How It Should Have Ended for that film!

I’m going to see the new one, Jumanji: The Next Level, tonight. I have high hopes. We’ll see how it goes! It’s best to stay positive and optimistic about this sort of thing.

Kudos to the HISHE people for an actual alternate ending gag, by the way.

6 Things I Want to See in the Black Widow Movie

The first trailer for the upcoming Black Widow movie came out of nowhere last week, and I liked it! Of course, I’m a huge Marvel fanboy, so I’m probably going to like everything they produce from now until the heat death of the universe. So you best believe I’m excited for Black Widow!

That’s some good movie poster

But what’s going to be in the movie? We know it takes place prior to Avengers: Infinity War. We know Taskmaster is the villain, and that Natasha will team up with the other comic book Black Widow, as well as Red Guardian. And we know it’s going to be heavy on the crazy action and adventure. There’s probably also going to be some trouble with the Red Room.

Still, there’s a lot of movie left wide open for cameos, Easter Eggs, callbacks and more. So join me after the jump for the little things I’d like to see in the Black Widow movie! And feel free to share some of your own ideas in the comments!
