I won’t lie that it felt a little odd that Jumanji was getting a sequel years after the original. Then Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle came out and made me forget that I thought that. It was a fantastic sequel that wasn’t afraid of what it was. It took the premise and modernized it in a fun way, while still showing love for the original. Then a third movie was announced.

‘Terminator 2: Judgement Day’ Out Now
Okay, maybe I’m way behind on that.If there’s one thing sorely missing from Blu-ray commercials, it’s having one of the actors in-character to convince you to buy the movie. For instance, what if the T-1000 vaguely threatened you to purchase Terminator 2: Judgement Day? I know; me too; just typing it had me reaching for my wallet.

‘Men in Black’ Continues with New Cast
I try not to hate on remakes since they’ve been a thing for as long as film has been around, but sometimes I can’t help myself. The news a while back about a remake for Men in Black was one of those times. I loved the original as a kid. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were fantastic. Then, there was also the cartoon that I really liked — I guess that might go a little towards remake territory, but I digress. -
Bear McCreary, Composer of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ and ‘Agents of SHIELD’
One of the most memorable things about Battlestar Galactica was the music; it was very different than the music in other shows and even in film. It had an almost organic sound; not something you would expect in a sci-fi show. Yet, somehow, it beautifully fit. -
Marvel’s ‘The Avengers: Infinity War’ Trailer
Iron Man teased the idea of a larger movie universe with Agent Coulson mentioning S.H.I.E.L.D. Then the end credits drove it home with Director Nick Fury schooling Tony Stark on not being the only one doing heroics. I flipped out. It was the first time a comic book movie went there; that there’s more out there and that we will see more heroes in the same movie universe. -
VFX from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is easily up there as one of my favorite movies. The film drew emotions out of me; joy, laughter, and sorrow. It was an emotional rollercoaster for me and I enjoyed every second of it.
