Disney has to be intentionally trying to lose money on their movies. In 1989, The War of the Roses, starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas, was released. In August, remake will be released. The Roses will star Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.
They can’t be serious . Colman and Cumberbatch have no humor, charisma or sex appeal.
How expensive are script writers? Cheaping out on writers just doesn’t seem like an effective way to save money on a $300 million movie.
The movie, Sinners, reminds me of Godzilla Minus One, from 2023. Both are fresh, engaging and memorable monster movies. They use a similar narrative format to liven up the genre.
It’s not really the right idea, but for Memorial Day, I’m watching Sergeant York (1941) on Youtube.
For teachers, it’s retirement party season. My former colleagues are fun and interesting people, so the party was a good time. It’s comforting to be home and drunk by 5 pm, like back in the good ol’ days. I used to attend the Friday Happy Hour about once per month. When I got home, I wasn’t good for much, so would cut the grass for a few hours and try not to drive into the creek.
Mickey 17 was called a clumsy, pandering clown show by Critical Drinker. I enjoy Critical Drinker’s Youtube channel, but we don’t like the same movies.
The premise of the movie is that technology exists to make a duplicate of a person, and load the brain with the most recent memory update. Earth bans the technology because it can be used to make a copy of a living person. One commits a crime while the other has an airtight alibi.
Youtube movie reviewers hated A Minecraft Movie, but it’s making bank in the theaters, so it was worth a try.
It’s a turn-off-your-brain movie, but there are some funny lines and nothing is too irritating.
Disney Puts Tangled Live-Action Remake on Hold
After losing what will be hundreds of millions of dollars on the live-action remake of the movie, Snow White, Disney is holding off on the live-action remake of Tangled. A problem with Snow White, was the decision to make several changes to the movie late in the production. Re-shoots drove up the cost and made the plot less coherent.
Disney may be rethinking their approach to live-action remakes.
Actor Richard Chamberlain just passed away at 90 years old.
Chamberlain was trying to be an American Peter O’Toole. He was a little much. Chamberlain started out as the lead character in a medical drama, Dr. Kildare, in 1961, then bounced around doing TV movies and being a guest star on other TV shows. He kind of settled on mini-series.
He seemed kind of cheesy, so I knew what he was in, but don’t recall ever watching any of it.
Out of the 27 superheroes in Avengers: Doomsday, these are the five female characters. Something has gone wrong with the women.
