They’ve Remade Anaconda in the Best Way Possible
I’d heard rumblings of this Anaconda remake and now we’ve got an actual trailer, which looks pretty cool. Basically, Paul Rudd and Jack Black will get meta as fans of the original Anaconda movie who want to make their own version, only to wind up battling a giant snake themselves. It’s true! Watch the trailer and see!
Fun stuff. I dig it. I like Paul Rudd and Jack Black. The premise is just funny enough to be clever, to a degree. It appears to be a real movie. So this one is definitely now on my radar. I wonder if one of those lead actors came up with the idea for this movie and then just pulled the necessary strings to get it made. Maybe Jack Black knows the right people from his work on the Jumanji sequels.
Anaconda is coming to theaters around Christmas time.

Friendship Looks Like a Weird and Fun Movie
In this content drought that is winter, I’m open to enjoying and posting most anything. Like this trailer for a new A24 movie called Friendship, starring Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson. Looks like it’ll be funny!
Looks like they’re turning a wacky buddy comedy into a tense thriller. I like that approach. Though now that I think about it, why not just make a wacky buddy comedy that stays a wacky buddy comedy, but it’s filmed like a tense thriller? Movies should be more experimental like that. Or maybe this one is just gonna be a weird, fun one. I could go for one of those.
Friendship comes to theaters in May!

6 Thoughts on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
Ant-Man is my favorite Avenger. He’s probably not my favorite franchise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he’s my favorite Avengers hero, largely because Paul Rudd is simply awesome. So I’m totally on board for more Ant-Man movies. I like the first two, I like all the characters; let’s have a good time! And Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a good time. It’s not a great movie, and I can see why it’s getting middling reviews, but I had a blast at the theater. I hope this isn’t the last movie in the Ant-Man and Wasp series.
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good
Part of the problem, I think, is that movie critics are done with the MCU. I’ve read a couple of reviews, read a lot of the online discussion, and I think people are just not as excited anymore. I get it. I understand. I’m not one of them, of course. I’ll be a Marvel fanboy for life. I’m gladly watching everything Marvel puts out. But I think the public sentiment has shifted. Marvel and Disney weren’t about to stop after Avengers: Endgame. They can’t. They’re a business. So they expanded into TV shows, expanded into new characters and new franchises. And perhaps the quality has suffered due to the quantity. I can see it. And I’m confident Kevin Feige is smart enough to learn and pivot.
I enjoyed Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, some parts more than others .Join me after the jump for my thoughts/review of the film. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole movie.

Here it is, folks! The first trailer for Avengers 4, now titled Avengers: Endgame! It’s here, it’s great, and you should watch it immediately!
Loved this trailer! Loved the darkness, loved the hopelessness, love the emotion, and I super loved the Scott Lang stinger at the end! He’s my favorite character in the MCU, and Paul Rudd arriving in the darkest hour to charm his way into saving the day is exactly what I want from Avengers: Endgame!

6 Thoughts on Ant-Man and the Wasp
The growing Ant-Man franchise might not be the biggest money-maker for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I still love it like all the rest! In fact, I kind of love it a little more, because Ant-Man is my favorite superhero in the MCU. And I’m so glad that his movies are so much fun!
Movie Rating: 8/10 – Very Good.
I’m a little disappointed that we’ve got to wait all the way until March for Captain Marvel. That’s a long wait! Of course, I say that knowing that years fly by like the snap of a finger in adulthood, and it will be March before we know it, and we’ll be complaining that, “Jeez, it’s already March”, and another entire year will have passed to bring me and all of us closer to the grave…
But hey! Ant-Man and the Wasp! Join me after the jump for my full review. And expect FULL SPOILERS for the movie!
