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.
Join me after the jump for my full review/thoughts on The Batman. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie. And please share your own thoughts in the comments!

The Batman came out this past weekend, so DC whipped up a new Batman-focused trailer for the upcoming cartoon DC League of Super-Pets. I don’t have high hopes for this movie.
I dunno, I’m just not digging the tone of this movie. It seems to both want to be legit while also breaking the fourth wall and mocking itself. And I’m still not convinced about The Rock as Krypto. I think it’s more stunt casting than actual, quality voice work.
But perhaps I’m being too judgmental. We’ll all find out for real when DC League of Super-Pets comes to theaters on May 20.

Bullet Train is Looking Pretty Awesome
I don’t know if I was aware of this movie or not, but the trailer for Bullet Train dropped yesterday and it looks phenomenal. Brad Pitt and a very stacked cast apparently are going to have Deadpool-style fun in a confined train space. Check it out and get excited!
I’m not just about superhero movies. Yes, I’m excited for The Batman this weekend. But this Bullet Train trailer is the epitome of excitement! It’s got laughs, it’s got action, it’s got wackiness, it’s got some great actors and a wonderful sense of style. This might be a new Knives Out-degree surprise hit and I am totally down for that!
Bullet Train arrives in theaters on July 15.

Movie Trailer Tuesday Presents Morbius and Secrets of Dumbledore
We’ve got a big Batman movie coming out this weekend, so big studios are putting out big trailers for their next big movies. That’s how this system works. The problem is that I don’t particularly care about Morbius or Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.
I have as much interest in the upcoming Morbius movie as I do in the character of Morbius himself, which is very little. I think this movie is going to flop hard.
I just don’t find anything about this movie appealing. I don’t like Jared Leto in the lead role. I don’t like the CGI vampire facepaint. I don’t like the weak attempt to cast him as an anti-hero. I don’t like all the cringy references to Venom. I don’t like shoehorning Adrian Toomes into this movie to try and leech off the MCU. None of it looks good!
Then we’ve got The Secrets of Dumbledore, a seemingly sad and pathetic attempt to keep this franchise alive.
Don’t get me wrong, Harry Potter is still a strong franchise. I’m probably gonna play that Harry Potter video game when it comes out, but mostly because I love create-a-character open world games. But surely the franchise has taken a lot of hits lately, what with J.K. Rowling coming out as a huge bigot and the last Fantastic Beasts movie just being pretty bad.
But they’re trying again, so I guess more power to them?
Both Morbius and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore come out in April.
