Top Gun 2 is Finally Coming Out

Top Gun: Maverick has been waiting to come out for a million years now. Because the world needs to follow up on the adventures of Maverick, who’s real name is apparently Pete Mitchell. That just seems ordinary. Anyway, we’ve got a new trailer for Top Gun: Maverick to herald it’s arrival on the big screen in two months.

And yeah, it looks fine. I’m no major fan of the original Top Gun. But I enjoy movies. And this will, theoretically, be well made. So we’ll see. But perhaps a lot of people are really excited about this one!

Top Gun: Maverick comes out on May 27.

Let’s Look at the Joker Anyway!

The Batman did great in theaters and made a ton of money. But several weeks have passed now and people are moving on — so how about DC juice interest in the movie by releasing a deleted scene that fully features Barry Keoghan’s Joker! Only teased in the actual movie, this 5-minute scene does not shy around the Joker.

I think this is great! Releasing a deleted scene like this is a fun way to spark some new interest in the movie. And why not go hog wild with the new interpretation of the Joker? People like the Joker. People love to talk about that Joker tease in the movie. This is a great way to expand the universe of The Batman without saying anything yet about a sequel. Fun little video.

I also love the idea that the Joker has already been done in this universe. He came and went sometime in Batman’s first year, and now he’s behind bars in Arkham. Hopefully this means we won’t get Joker as the main villain in the sequel.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is Just Doing All Of It

A live action Sonic the Hedgehog movie is a surefire franchise now. Multiple movies, an upcoming spin-off TV show; Hollywood has grabbed the meager success of the first movie and they’re running with it into pure madness. Despite this success, they hired a pretty terrible trailer-making company.

That movie trailer stank. It was all over the place, full of nonsense, and not particularly catchy. But then I don’t imagine the movie is going to be all that special. It does feature a live action Knuckles voiced by Idris Elba, though, so I’m torn. Will my obscure love for this random — and awesome! — video game character carry me through this sequel? We’ll find out soon enough!

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 comes to theaters on April 8!

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Looks So Fun!

I’m as much a fan of Nicholas Cage as the next person, so his upcoming new movie looks pretty funny. Why not take all the Nicholas Cage memes and reputation and turn that into an actual movie? And with a title like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, it couldn’t look more perfect.

Funny, weird and zany, this looks great! Can’t wait! Also, Pedro Pascal is a busy man these days. Is he making up for the fact that he’s wearing a helmet all the time in his most famous and popular role? Maybe.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent comes to theaters on April 22.

6 Thoughts on The Batman (Review)

It’s Batman’s world, we’re just living in it. After several years of delays, The Batman has finally arrived in theaters and delivered a Batman movie we can all love and embrace. It may be 3 hours long, but it’s a heck of a ride and I had a blast with this big, fun Batman adventure.

Movie Rating: 9/10 – Great

I love Batman as much as the next person, and The Batman was probably my most anticipated movie of this year. I liked what I saw with each of the trailers, I liked how this world was forming, and it lived up to all my hype and expectations. The actors, the characters, the designs, the choices, the score; everything worked for me with this film and I can’t wait for all the sequels and spin-offs we’re going to be getting.
