Think you could outrun a T. rex?
GUESS THE QUOTE
"Nilbog!
It's Goblin spelled backwards!"
If you love dogs, please gorge yourself on the trailers section. If you love dinosaurs, don't even read Jurassic World reviews. If you love dinosaurs who love dogs, oddly, you're in luck.
Btw, for the record, you COULD outrun a T. rex. Who knew? Oh right, scientists knew.

JURASSIC WORLD:
FALLEN KINGDOM

"the same secondary moniker used for the documentary on the USA to be released in 2075"
PG-13 / 2 hrs 9 mins
Action-Adventure-Sci-Fi/ Universal
WHAT'S THE DEAL
Let's not waste too much time here, cuz you know what it is. So let's do a fun little haiku instead.
Island go kaboom
Dinos are not the evil
Whimper is the sound
REVIEWS
Could say split, but even the endorsements are still pretty meh.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 54%
(144 reviews @ publish)
OUR TAKE
Looks like the worst of milking a franchise - not making a bad movie, but a boring one.
But we imagine people who go will mostly still enjoy it, because if you wanna shut your brain down, there are worse off switches than raging dinosaurs.

DAMSEL
AKA
"don't think "in distress" don't think "in distress" don't thi....ah hell"
R / 1 hr 53 mins
Comedy / Magnolia
WHAT'S THE DEAL
It's a western, but one that if a John Wayne zombie saw we reckon he'd eat his own brains so he could be dead all over again. That is to say, it ain't your normal western.
For starters, the main horse in the movie is miniature. For seconders, there's more humor than action (but there'll be some action). For thirders, the male lead (Robert Pattinson) looks more likely to be the one in distress than the female lead (Mia Wosikowska).
So stay in that there grave Mr. Wayne, because you won't like this one. Also, cuz you're dead, and zombies aren't real...
...right?
REVIEWS
Pretty swell ones. Probably not Oscar material, but critics enjoying the flip of convention and the off kilter humor/style.

OUR TAKE
Looks pretty, looks different, looks fun. Plus Robert Pattinson has been tryin his damndest to show he's a "real actor" recently, and it's benefiting us moviegoers.

SICARIO:
DAY OF THE SOLDADO
The drug war expands. A sequel we were dubious of, but early word is apparently good. Same writer (but not director) as the first.
UNCLE DREW
The Pepsi commercial you never wanted as a full length movie that is probably better than it deserves to be.
INDIE SPOTLIGHT
LEAVE NO TRACE
Not an enviro documentary. From the director of Winter's Bone (Jennifer Lawrence's breakout). Reviews are really good.
UNFRIENDED:
DARK WEB
July 20, 2018
Sequel to horror flick where all the events (and murders) took place on a comp screen. Same producers (Blumhouse) as Get Out and Happy Death Day if that means anything to you.

DOG DAYS
Aug 10, 2018
Think ensemble romantic comedies (Love Actually, Valentine's Day), but with dog stories. Legit enough cast - Eva Longoria, Vanessa Hudgens, Thomas Lennon, kid from Stranger Things, Tig Nataro, Adam Pally & more.

THE GRINCH

Full trailer. Illumination (Minions) do the green guy story. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the angry one. Looks better than you may be expecting.

WELCOME TO MARWEN
Nov 21, 2018
This is a different one, but give it a watch. Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump etc.) directs Steve Carrell as a guy who gets beat up by neo-Nazis, but uses (doll) art to get back his humanity.

CREED II
Nov 21, 2018
Follow up to the somewhat unexpected hit. If you're counting, it's Rocky 8. Ryan Coogler who directed the first (and Black Panther) not back for this one. Who else IS back? Ivan Drago baby, and his son.
