Dave Made a Maze Looks Like a Pretty Creative Movie
I’ve been making it a point to see more movies this year, largely just because I like seeing movies. And it helps that my town has added an art house movie theater. So there’s a very good chance I’ll be able to see Dave Made a Maze in theaters.
I’ve only heard a little bit about this film, but it looks and sounds exactly like the sort of quirky, weird movie I wanna watch.
It’s supposed to come out on Aug. 17, but who knows in what theaters.

6 Thoughts on Spider-Man: Homecoming
Spider-Man: Homecoming was great! Hilarious, energetic, with great characters, swell actors and some awesome superheroic action. It’s very reassuring to have a great Spider-Man move in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was wonderful in his introductory cameo in Captain America: Civil War. And I’m quite pleased to say that Marvel has continued that magic with a feature film.
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great.
I want to go see the movie in theaters again before it’s gone, though this month is jam-packed with movies. War for the Planet of the Apes, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, The Big Sick, Dunkirk; it’s a great month for movies! But I’ll try to squeeze in a bit more Spider-Man: Homecoming. It was just that damn good and fun.
Join me after the jump for my thoughts/review of Spider-Man: Homecoming! Expect full SPOILERS, so be careful!
The Inhumans TV Show Looks About as Interesting as the Inhumans Comics
I don’t care for the Inhumans comics. And from the looks of this first trailer, I don’t see myself caring about the Inhumans TV show. See for yourself.
Everything looks so…awkwardly wooden. None of the characters really stand out, unless you count Maximus the Mad doing all the shouting. Black Bolt and Medusa look dumb. Lockjaw looks fake. There’s no prestige. There’s just weirdness.
And don’t get me started on not tying into the Inhumans in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Probably Not Gonna See This One in Theaters…
I remain a big fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It’s still a fun show. Probably no longer hip or counter-culture to call myself a ‘brony’ but whatevs. I can like what I want. And look! It’s a movie!
Now, I like to go to movies alone sometimes, because I wanna see what I wanna see. Buuuuut I probably won’t be going alone to see the My Little Pony movie in a theater. Just to be safe.

Honestly, I Really Liked the Power Rangers Movie
Power Rangers is one of my favorite films so far this year, and I’ve made it a point to see a lot of movies this year. The only exception is Transformers: The Last Knight. For reasons I do not yet know, my local movie theater did not play Transformers this weekend. I kind of hope they’re taking a stand against garbage, but that doesn’t make any sense.
Anyway, back to the point, Honest Trailer for Power Rangers, go go!
The movie has great characters, it treats them well and it treats them like real people. That’s a major plus for me. The costumes and the Zords look cool, and they have a lot of fun with it.
I sure do hope we get a sequel. I want me some Green Ranger on the big screen, gosh darn it!
