The Borderlands Movie Looks Like a Lot of Fun!
I never played many of the Borderlands video games. I know I played some of the first, but that was about it. But the first trailer for the new Borderlands movie is out and it looks pretty fun! It looks heavily influenced by Guardians of the Galaxy, but I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Yeah, just looks like a wacky, silly, explodey good time. The cast looks great. The action looks great. The humor is pretty solid. Obviously it won’t be as good as what James Gunn himself could have done with the project, but there are far worse directors and movies to mimic. Let us hope they can pull off what they’re going for.
Borderlands comes to theaters on Aug. 9.

Watch Nimona Free on YouTube!
With the Oscars coming up soon, Netflix has decided to just put the entire movie Nimona up for free to watch on YouTube. The entire thing. Just straight up, the Nimona movie! It’s nominated for Best Animated Feature and is worthy of winning, in my opinion. As much as I loved Across the Spider-Verse, Nimona would be a great underdog winner. It’s a great film!
So watch and enjoy. I loved Nimona. And a lot of people these days are cancelling their Netflix. So if you haven’t seen Nimona yet, now is your chance! Make it happen!

6 Things I Want to See in The Fantastic Four by Marvel Studios
The Fantastic Four are finally coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe! They were announced years ago, and there have been casting rumors ever since. Welp, Marvel took the reins and revealed everything in a pretty awesome Valentine’s Day post last week. We’ve got actors, costumes and a whole 1960s vibe.
Personally, I was against the idea of setting the new Fantastic Four movie in the 1960s. I still think it’s more than possible to come up with some reason why the team can fit in the modern day MCU. But now that I see that artwork and its whole vibe, I am 100% on board with whatever Marvel has planned. I trust in Marvel Studios. I’m still a big fan of everything they’re putting out. I know they will do right by the Fantastic Four on the big screen now that they can. But I still have some ideas of my own!
Join me after the jump for what I’d like to see in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four! And feel free to share your own hopes, dreams and thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryI’m Not Sure What Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is Bringing to the Table
We got a new trailer yesterday for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and I just…I don’t know what this movie is going to offer us. Obviously we’re going to get more of Godzilla and King Kong, and I’ve enjoyed the Monsterverse movies so far. But what is this new film really bringing to the table?
The trailer spends all this time teasing something dangerous and deadly coming…and then reveals that to be a rather lanky orangutan? There are hints of another monsters, and I’ve seen some of the leaked images, but that monster doesn’t look all that amazing. And neither monster is a classic Toho monster of old reimagined into this new ‘verse. So what exactly does this movie bring to the table?
I guess I’ll find out when I see it in theaters on March 29!

I am Totally Down with the Vibe of The Fantastic Four!
Out of nowhere, Marvel Studios used Valentine’s Day to unveil not only the cast of the upcoming Fantastic Four movie, but also the whole vibe. It’s a retro, ’60s throwback feeling. I wasn’t on board with that idea in general, but after seeing the artwork and logo, I am fully in favor of everything this movie is now giving off.
I love the cast as well. The only person we had fully confirmed at this point was Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, and I’m fine with that man in any acting role he wants or gets. I’m sure he’ll be great! The others are Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm! I knew of all three being at the top of the rumors list, so they’re not a surprise. I love every one of those choices!
I just finished watching season 2 of The Bear last week, and Moss-Bachrach was amazing! If I had watched that season when it came out last year, it would have made my end-of-year list as favorite show of 2023. And then everybody loved Quinn in Stranger Things, so they’re both pretty inspired casting. I’m not as familiar with Kirby’s work, but I’ve obviously seen her in some things like Mission Impossible. So high hopes all around for this cast!
The movie is set to come to theaters on July 25, 2025, so next year. Good times. No idea on the plot yet or the villains. I’d be cool with anybody. I love everything about this first look, down to even the retro jumpsuit look of the costumes Reed and Sue are wearing.
