They’re Making Another Jackass Movie!
I never watched the original Jackass show on Mtv. I wasn’t cool enough back then (or ever). But I’ve seen all the movies, most of them in theaters, and the whole thing is a huge lark! The last one was so good my face hurt from smiling and laughing so much in the theater. So heck yeah, I’m down for another Jackass movie!
Will this be the last one? They’re all getting old — as are we all. They probably enjoy making these. It’s called Jackass: Best and Last. But who knows. If they keep making them, I’ll keep going to the theater to watch them. This one should be a real hoot!
Jackass: Best and Last comes to theaters on June 26.

Brace Yourselves for Coyote vs. Acme
Hollywood is weird. I don’t know if you’ve been following the behind-the-scenes nonsense regarding this new Looney Tunes movie, but it’s weird and neat all at the same time. Basically, Warner Bros. made this new animation/live action hybrid movie about Wile E. Coyote (my favorite Looney Tune) suing the Acme Corporation. But Warner Bros. is also in the middle of being gutted for parts and sold off, so the higher ups decided to shelves this movie even though it was already done. There was some outcry, deals were made, and Ketchup Entertainment (dumb name) bought the rights.
And now Coyote vs. Acme is going to come to theaters!
Looks pretty darn good to me! Looks funny, looks looney, looks to have a solid blend of live action and animation, and the trailer does a great job of playing up the anti-corporation angle. I hope people actually go out and see this movie. Nobody went and saw The Day the Earth Blew Up, the recent, fully-animated release starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. I got to see that one in theaters! And I was alone in the theater that day! I love when that happens.
Anyway, go see Coyote vs. Acme in theaters on Aug. 28.

This New Street Fighter Trailer Has Me Smiling
I have no memory permanence that a live action Street Fighter trailer is coming out later this year. But a new, full trailer dropped today, and holy cow, this might be one of my most anticipated movies of the year now. This trailer is just a big, fun, silly love letter to the games, and I am here for it!
That was just so much fun! It embraces the silly nature of the characters and franchise, while establishing a groundswell of actual serious storytelling underneath. That’s perfect! We focus on the fighting tournament, on some character growth, and by the end they have to come together to stop fascism!
Mortal Kombat wishes it had a movie like that coming out this year.
Street Fighter looks to be a blast and is coming to theaters on Oct. 16.

Godzilla Minus Zero, Baby!
Godzilla Minus One was a masterpiece and now there’s a sequel coming. Because why not? Because hell yeah! Here’s our first look at Godzilla Minus Zero.
Godzilla vs. the Statue of Liberty?! Sounds reasonable to me! His second favorite place after Tokyo is definitely New York City. Maybe this is a direct remake of the 90s, American Godzilla! Or maybe it won’t be that. Who knows. We’re just gonna have to wait and see when the times comes.
Godzilla Minus Zero is coming to theaters on Nov. 6!

New Trailers for Supergirl and Masters of the Universe Sure Are Neat!
Sorry I haven’t posted more over the past few days, and missed this weekend’s comic book reviews. Not only am I having a busy week at work, but I also came down with a cold on top of that. So man…just haven’t been in a posting mood. I think the cold dulled my sense of artistic appreciation. I went and saw Project: Hail Mary while sick, and…eh. It was fine.
Anyway, yesterday we got two big trailers for a couple big movies this summer.
First up is Supergirl, which a fuller trailer that looks pretty cool.
I am fully on board with this movie. I loved Superman last summer, and I love what they’re doing with Supergirl. I also very much love the comic this movie is based on, Woman of Tomorrow. Honestly, watching that trailer, I’m a little worried that I’m going to be too much of a stickler for the comic. I hope that’s not the case and I can just sit back and enjoy this Supergirl movie, which should be a hoot.
Supergirl comes to theaters on June 26.
We’ve also got a new Masters of the Universe Trailer.
I think it looks great! I devoured all those toy commercial cartoons in the 1980s, as a wee lad. Ninja Turtles was top of the heap for me, but I definitely watched He-Man and had a few of the toys. And I very much like that this movie looks like a big toy commercial. Bright, colorful, full of action and characters; it’s not shying away from the lore. I’m not a stickler for He-Man lore, but I think this should be a really fun way to approach this film. Embrace the camp.
Masters of the Universe comes to theaters on June 5! So it’s gonna be a fun June.
