The Violent Night Sequel is Coming!
Violent Night was a great film David Harbour as Santa Claus kicking butt and taking names. What a hoot! And now it’s getting a sequel! Violent Night 2!
Looks like fun! Looks like some more violent action, which is what we want. And some charming humor. And a showdown in a mall. Makes sense to me. And Mrs. Claus looks like a hoot! I was initially concerned about the age gap…but it turns out they’re only, like, four years apart in age. Such is the state of ladies aging in Hollywood these days.
Violent Night 2 comes to theaters on Dec. 4.

6 Thoughts on Spider-Man: Brand New Day (Review)
It’s that time again! New Spider-Man movie time! I’ve been reviewing Spider-Man movies on this blog since way back in the Amazing Spider-Man days. And I’ve loved all of them! I don’t know if they’ve ever made a real stinker of a Spider-Man movie. I don’t remember how I felt coming out of Spider-Man 3…Regardless, we’ve got a new director, a new direction maybe and a new Spider-Man movie to talk about!
Movie Rating: 10/10 – Fantastic!
I loved this movie, as I’ve loved all Spider-Man movies. I had a ton of fun. I’m starting to worry that my local theater just can’t play new movies to a quality degree, but that’s a me problem, not a movie problem. I’m still a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I never once doubted this movie. It lived up to all the hype it has been getting and I can’t wait to see how it does at the box office this weekend. The people love Spider-Man. This dude loves Spider-Man. We all love Spider-Man!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie, the characters and the surprises. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryNew Coyote vs. Acme Trailer!
We’re in the middle of San Diego Comic-Con and, once again, I’m not there. Maybe I’ll go someday. We’ll see how life and my health hold up. But we’re getting a ton of trailers and reveals and announcements. I can’t post them all, but I’m saving some of my favorites, like this new trailer for Coyote vs. Acme!
Wile E. Coyote is my favorite of the Looney Tunes, since I was a kid. So that he’s getting his own movie, and it seems to have nothing but heart for the dude, is super fun! And the movie looks funny. That bit with John Cena and Tweety Bird? Golden! I’m definitely gonna see this one in theaters, if it comes near me.
Coyote vs. Acme comes to theaters on Aug. 28.

Here We Go: Avengers: Doomsday Trailer!
I was at work in a courtroom yesterday morning, followed by watching the 3-hour The Odyssey movie, so when this Avengers: Doomsday trailer randomly dropped on a Monday morning, I was in no position to post it. So I waited until today. That’s good enough.
I like it, but I’d say I’m not too hyped. I’m at a plateau of hype for most Marvel projects these days. I have enjoyed every single one — with the exception of Secret Invasion — so I fully expect Doomsday to be good. I fully expect to enjoy it. Bring it on. Let’s have a good movie where everybody shows up and teams up and Doctor Doom is awesome. Should be a hoot. Should be a good time. Cameos just don’t wow me at this point in my jaded life. So I’ll just have to wait and see the movie and enjoy it.
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters on Dec. 18.

Movie Trailer Wednesday: Mayday and Digger
The Odyssey is coming out this weekend and a lot of new movie trailers have arrived so that they can be attached to The Odyssey. Or maybe they’re just coming out for the fun of it? I don’t know how movie trailer releases work, despite being a big fan of movie trailers for 30+ years. Oh well. These two came out yesterday and I wanted to share.
First up is Mayday, an action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh coming to AppleTV.
I think it looks great! Looks like a ton of fun. I have no turned on Ryan Reynolds like most people, so I’m all in favor of this. The biggest pull is that the film is directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. These are the geniuses behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, with some solid writing credits under their belts. These guys make good movies, so I’m definitely keeping an eye on Mayday, and you should too.
Mayday comes to AppleTV on Sept. 4.
Next up is Digger, this super important Tom Cruise movie. I saw the Digger teaser trailer ahead of a movie in theaters a few weeks ago, and the trailer was like 5 full minutes of glazing Tom Cruise’s career. So I guess everything has been building to Digger?
It looks neat. Looks like a smart satire, which I always enjoy. And it’s got John Goodman, so that’s great. I guess it just looks like a big, important, funny movie that will use star power to stay something powerful? I dunno. I just thought it was a trailer worth sharing.
Digger comes to theaters on Oct. 2.
