New Pirates Movie Coming Out, World Continues to Spin
I wonder if Disney is wincing at all after this past summer’s horrible reaction to remakes, reboots and sequels. Despite all the signs from this year, they’re still forging ahead with a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It’s a big, lumbering beast of a franchise that shows no signs of coming to a merciful end.
Dare you watch the first teaser trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tales?
That’s Javier Bardem’s Captain Salazar as some kind of freaky zombie with a freaky zombie crew. Pretty sure we’ve seen dead captains and zombie crews before.
Anyway, I’m not the first person to point this out, but what the heck is Disney doing? This franchise should have ended a long time ago. And Disney keeps doubling down on the worst part. The first Pirates movie was not a huge success because of the zombie pirate crew, it was the personable characters. But Disney just keeps doubling down on crazy science fiction insanity. Does anybody even remember the last movie? Something with mermaids?

Somebody Made a Sweet Indiana Jones Cartoon Short
I’ve never been a huge Indiana Jones fan. I remember watching the movies when I was a kid, but they never really captured me like they did most people. I also have a strong aversion to Harrison Ford in general. But hey, I can appreciate some good fan cartooning!
Patrick Schoenmaker is our masterful film-maker here, a professional in the world of animation. I’d like to think that if I had any skills, I’d do something of this quality and power. But eh…

I Wish Warcraft Had Done Better, Honestly
Man, why didn’t America like the Warcraft movie better? I know it wasn’t a perfect movie, but it was still darn good.
I suppose Honest Trailers makes some good points. But man, I really wanted this movie to be a big success. I still want that sequel and a few spin-offs. This could have been a whole new thing! Why, movie gods, did you have to make us suffer so? Why did you deliver this movie!

Looks Like Passengers Could Be a Good Movie
I hadn’t heard of the film Passengers until just very recently, and then the trailer came out and has convinced me it could be a good watch. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence in a cool, sci-fi romance? Sounds like something I would watch!
It doesn’t come out until December, though. That’s a long time to wait. Hopefully both Pratt and Lawrence will still be delightfully entertaining by then.

I Honestly Liked Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows was a fun movie. It was dumb and full of plotholes, but I didn’t go to see cinematic greatness. Honest Trailers has that movie’s number.
Poor Stephen Amell. He was probably really excited about this movie and playing Casey Jones. But Honest Trailers totally nails his part in this film.
