Ash vs. Tell It Animated

We need some slasher heroes! The good dude at Tell It Animated is now tackling Ash Williams from the Evil Dead films. Because Ash is awesome and deserves this sort of attention and love.

Another banger of an episode! I’m glad to see that Tell It Animated has nearly two million followers these days. I hope this dude is killing it and raking in the big bucks for his fun little shorts. I wish him all the success in the world.

And, as always, my recommendation is Robin!

I Am Ready for the Barbie Movie

Man, I cannot wait to see what the heck the Barbie movie is going to be. We’ve got a new trailer and it provides a lot more detail and depth to what’s in store. I am so ready for this movie. I am ready for this to blow my mind. And hopefully I’m not hyping it up to myself too much.

This looks great. I love the aesthetic. I love the existential crisis. I love the storyline potential of “put this doll back in the box.” And here’s hoping that Will Ferrell is playing a live action version of Lord Business from The LEGO Movie.

The Barbie movie looks great and I can’t wait to do the Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature on July 21.

Movie Trailer Thursday

I’m still on vacation, still just sitting on my butt and playing a bunch of Tears of the Kingdom. But a bunch of movie trailers have come out, and I’m going to see Fast X this afternoon. So why not share and see what everybody else thinks?

First up is Haunted Mansion, the second attempt by Disney to turn this famous ride into a movie. I don’t remember anything about the first Haunted Mansion movie, but this new one already looks better, and has a bunch of great actors.

Looks solid. Looks enjoyable. I’ll probably go see it, depending on whatever else comes out that weekend. I doubt it’ll launch a new franchise, though. But they can try.

Haunted Mansion comes out on July 28.

Next up is Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part 1. I’ve never been into the Mission Impossible movies. The ones I’ve seen have been fine action films, sure, but this franchise means nothing to me. Like the Fast & Furious franchise.

Like, how is this trailer any different from every trailer in this franchise ever? How are any of these movies separate or different from all the other movies in the franchise? Why does this one need to be two parts?! I just don’t get it.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part 1 comes to theaters on July 12.

6 Thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

We have come to the end of an era. After years of waiting, a ton of behind-the-scenes madness, and a bunch of Marvel movie phases, we’ve finally reached the grand finale of the Guardians of the Galaxy series. I’m excited and sad in equal measure. It’s a shame we’ll never seen this team again, written and directed by James Gunn. But I also feel like we’ve had a lot of adventures with them, and it’ll be good to let them rest.

Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great

I had a great time with this film. I have few, if any, real complaints. I have loved the Guardians of the Galaxy movies since the beginning. I loved the comics that inspired the movies, I loved the heck out of those first trailers, and I have all the faith in the world in James Gunn. The man is at the top of his career right now, putting out golden projects left and right. So I’m very pleased that Vol. 3 turned out as good as it is. Everyone involved should be pleased and proud.

Join me after the jump for my thoughts and full review on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the film. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments down below.

Two Very Different Movie Trailers For This Tuesday

The summer movie season is in full swing, so we keep getting new movie trailers piled upon us. And I love watching them and sharing them, because why not? I love movie trailers! I can do this!

First up is the new, full trailer for Oppenheimer. This is gonna be a big, fancy movie, with fancy stars, a fancy director, fancy themes; this movie is gonna be a whole thing.

Looks fine so far. Looks like a serious biopic about Robert J. Oppenheimer. Or is it J. Robert Oppenheimer? I don’t know and don’t feel like Googling it as I write this blog post. The movie looks good and I am for sure gonna do an Oppenheimer/Barbie double feature that weekend.

Oppenheimer comes out on July 21.

Next up, on the complete opposite end of the movie spectrum, is the trailer for Meg 2: The Trench. Oh man, I can’t believe they made this movie. But here it is.

I remember the first Meg. It was a big shark movie, with Jason Statham doing his thing. I think I liked it, in that simple way of liking such a movie. And it looks like the same thing will happen with Meg 2. Honestly, I was almost excited for a dinosaur movie, but then the giant shark had to come along and ruin everything.

Also, how many times do they say the phrase “Meg” in this movie? Have they really been dealing with so many Megalodons that they always use the shorthand? Or is it just extreme brand repetition?

I guess we’ll find out when Meg 2: The Trench comes to theaters on Aug. 4.
