Looks Like Passengers Could Be a Good Movie

I hadn’t heard of the film Passengers until just very recently, and then the trailer came out and has convinced me it could be a good watch. Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence in a cool, sci-fi romance? Sounds like something I would watch!

It doesn’t come out until December, though. That’s a long time to wait. Hopefully both Pratt and Lawrence will still be delightfully entertaining by then.

The Trailer Train Continues with Jurassic World

Yet another movie trailer has fallen in our laps today, this time for Jurassic World. I think it’s because all these big summer movies want to have trailers in front of Avengers: Age of Ultron in less than two weeks. Makes sense, but man, talk about losing hype. I’m all trailered out.

The movie looks fine. I don’t have particularly high hopes, and I still think Chris Pratt looks kind of silly, but whatever. He’s right: dinosaurs are awesome, and this is the premiere dinosaur franchise. How else are we going to get dinosaur movies?

No, seriously, why are there no other dinosaur movies? What about Dino-Riders? Why is that not a thing yet?!

Chris Pratt as Star-Lord! This is Awesome!

Marvel has once again scored an awesome casting coup by scoring Chris Pratt as Star-Lord in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film! If you’ve never heard of him, Pratt is spectacular and hilarious as Andy on Parks and Recreation, one of my favorite TV shows.

What a handsome guy

So I am incredibly excited by this news! I love Pratt, and I think he would be absolutely perfect for the semi-comedic role of Star-Lord. Not much has been released about what we can expect from Guardians of the Galaxy, but if Star-Lord is anything like he is in the comics, Pratt will be perfect. Even if they have to cover up his pretty mug with Star-Lord’s badass helmet.

Not quite as handsome, but he makes up for it in badassery

For those who don’t know, Star-Lord is the leader of the Guardians, and the only human on the team. He’s the smart, clever, and sarcastic one, with a great sense of human. He’s also an action star. I think this could be a real career-maker for Chris Pratt. I am very, very excited by this news. And if you aren’t watching Parks and Rec, you definitely should be.
