6 Thoughts on Superman (Review)
This review is about two weeks late and I apologize for that. Such is life, eh? Anyway, I saw Superman opening weekend in the theater and had a blast. I was very much looking forward to this movie and had nothing but faith in James Gunn to deliver, and he did so in spades. Great film!
Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great
I was mostly lukewarm on all the DCEU movies. I didn’t care for Man of Steel and, even though I think I’ve only seen it that one time in theaters, I just don’t care for it. I probably enjoyed Joss Whedon’s Justice League more than Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I enjoyed both Aquaman movies. But I am more than ready for James Gunn to deliver a new, better DC Cinematic Universe. Let’s hope they’re all as good as Superman.
Join me after the jump for my full review and thoughts on Superman. Expect SOME SPOILERS for the movie. And feel free to share your own thoughts in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryPredator: Badlands Looks Badass!
I’ve never been a big Predator or Alien fan, as I’ve mentioned before. They simply weren’t the movies I was watching in the 1980s, being a child. But I’m here to support good stuff when it comes out. And Predator has been on a mean streak recently, between Prey and Killer of Killers. And this new trailer for Badlands looks fun and awesome!
Elle Fanning wins that trailer! She seems fun. And the Predator seems cool as heck. And then the monsters. This looks like a whole movie, with all sorts of things happening. I think I’ll definitely be watching this one in theaters.
Predator: Badlands comes out on Nov. 7.

Will this darn week ever end? Maybe with some trailers
Man, this week. I’ve had a busy year and summer already, but this week takes the cake! But I’ve mostly made it through, and finally have something to post and share! Trailers! Movie and TV show trailers! I love trailers, I love having new things to watch, and I love sharing them with you lovely people who read this blog still.
First up is the first look at Mortal Kombat II, the sequel to that mostly bland Mortal Kombat movie from a few years ago.
All I can mostly say is…they seem to be leaning into the Mortal Kombat of it all just like the original Mortal Kombat sequel, Annihilation. That would be pretty wild. Mostly, I’m excited that they’ve brought back actor Josh Lawson as Kano. He was the only good character from the first film, and it was a damn travesty that they killed him off. Let us hope he has a big role in this sequel.
Mortal Kombat II comes to theaters on Oct. 24.
Next up is Tron: Ares, a movie I don’t care about, but looks very good.
I’ve never cared about the Tron franchise, and I don’t have any particular interest or anticipation for Tron: Ares. But some people might, so I’m sharing. And, honestly, that trailer looks fascinating. I love the visuals. I love the computery Tron stuff placed up against a real world city. So I might actually watch this in theaters.
Tron: Ares comes to theaters on Oct. 10.
How about Hoppers, the next Pixar film.
I haven’t seen Elio, but I probably will when it comes to Disney+. Pixar just isn’t the same. And, while Hoppers doesn’t strike any particular chord, I did like the idea of a human confronting the starkness of the animal kingdom. So that’s neat, at least.
Hoppers comes to theaters on March 6.
Lastly, a TV show trailer for Alien: Earth.
I’ve never been a big fan of the Alien franchise. I just don’t care for horror. But I’ll watch a prestige TV show when it’s good. And hopefully Alien: Earth will be good! I’ve got high hopes and can make room in my schedule.
Alien: Earth comes to FX and Hulu on Aug. 12, which is pretty darn soon.

Project Hail Mary Looks Damn Good
Awesome new movie trailer alert! July has started and that means we’ve got some great movies right around the corner. But a new potentially awesome movie has dropped its first trailer, and that’s Project Hail Mary.
As you saw in the trailer, it’s based on a book written by the guy who wrote The Martian, which I haven’t read, but the movie was great. And it’s directed by Lord and Miller, who haven’t directed a movie in, like, a decade. They make awesome movies and we need more of their good taste and talent. So Project Hail Mary is on my radar, and it should be on yours!
Project Hail Mary comes to theaters on…March 20, 2026?! Next year? Aw man.

New Fantastic Four Trailer is Relatively Safe to Watch
I shouldn’t have watched the new Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer that came out yesterday. But I’m very excited for this movie and I just couldn’t help myself. I try not to watch new trailers so close to a movie’s release, but man…this is gonna be a good one.
If you’re interested in watching the trailer, I want to assure you that it’s mostly safe. There’s a ton of new footage, but it’s new footage around footage we’ve seen in previous trailers. So no new reveals or anything too huge; nothing we didn’t already know about. The trailer shows a little bit more of Galactus, but does not show him from the front or have him speak. So still just glimpses of the big guy.
I can’t wait for this film. It’s gonna be so darn good! I’m thinking of taking the afternoon off from work just to ensure I’m there opening day. But we’ll see what times my local theater is showing the movie.
Fantastic Four: First Steps is coming to theaters on July 25.
