The Trailer is Looking at Me, Ray
We may be heading towards yet another summer of some Old Testament, wrath of God type stuff.
A Ghostbusters reboot is just a few months away.
Was this a good idea?
How do you top Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson?
(Hint: Nobody can)
Will an all-female cast of Ghostbusters hold their own?
One thing is is for sure: The 1984 original and 1989 sequel are absolutely untouchable in the Ghostbusters universe.
The second thing for sure is there’s a new reboot coming July 15th with an all-female cast and they appear ready to add an entertaining chapter to this epic story of green slime, proton packs and refrigerators from hell.
Doesn’t this movie seem perfect for Sandra Bullock and Julia-Louis Dreyfus?
Well, they weren’t called.
However, we do know who was called and it looks like they get into some exciting conflicts with some new ghosts. Above all else, hopefully they remembered that age old proverb:
When somebody asks you if you’re a God (or Goddess), you say yes!
Happy Monday!
Man’s best friend is a dog.
Boy’s best friend is…a dragon?
1977 was quite a year for moviegoers, including the cinematic wonders Star Wars and Pete’s Dragon. While each film showcased its graphics differently, both movies left a memorable impression with everyone who saw them. Star Wars: The Force Awakens was a massive hit (putting it lightly) at the end of 2015 with its throwback to practical effects as the first choice and CGI as the alternative when realism needed just a little imaginative assistance.
The first peak inside the revisited world of Pete and his magical dragon seems to be leaning on that same dynamic.
Will 2016 be the year of the dragon?
Have a Magical Week!
Happy Monday!
Bill Pullman’s speech as President Thomas J. Whitmore in Independence Day gave us goosebumps back in 1996.
That same speech is being used to excite us all over again nearly 20 years later. You could say that declarative message of grit, inspiration and bravery is experiencing a resurgence.
Yeah, I have chills too.
Have a Great Week!
P.S. Will Smith, what could’ve been…
The Bold, Fabled Glance
Steven Spielberg has done it again.
Roald Dahl wrote The BFG (Big Friendly Giant) in 1982 for generations of children to enjoy. Regardless of whether or not this was your favorite book growing up, it most likely ranked high on your list. And let’s not forget Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (made into a movie), Matilda (made into a movie), The Witches (made into a movie), James and the Giant Peach (made into a movie) and many more Roald Dahl literary classics that scream adventure and imaginative euphoria.
I present to you the first teaser trailer for The BFG released this morning.
Come next summer, we’ll get to be a kid again…a big kid.
