Ready to get your spooky sequel on? Because I’ve got passes for the follow-up to the fun horror film Happy Death Day, aptly named Happy Death Day 2U! Synopsis!
Jessica Rothe leads the returning cast of Happy Death Day 2U, the follow-up to Blumhouse’s (Split, Get Out, The Purge series) surprise 2017 smash hit of riveting, repeating twists and comic turns. This time, our hero Tree (Rothe) discovers that dying over and over was surprisingly easier than the dangers that lie ahead.

Johnson, Statham and Elba. If ever there was a post Magic Mike XXL eye candy movie that could be watched on mute, this one’s it. But also cars, ‘splosions and stuff! Synopsis!
Ever since hulking lawman Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever—and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent(The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves.
Hobbbs & Shaw opens August 2nd, 2019.

And I’ve gotta say it’s pretty convincing so far. Efron gets that blend of guy-next-door and Stanner Supreme Bundy seemed to have in historical photos. Synopsis!
A chronicle of the crimes of Ted Bundy, from the perspective of his longtime girlfriend, Elizabeth Kloepfer, who refused to believe the truth about him for years.
Vile seems to have the historical 411 down, including those horrible bow ties Bundy wore in court. (The 70s, amirite?) And it’s good to see Westworld alum Angela Sarafyan playing the BFF to Lily Collins’ Liz.
Vile hits theaters this year, with a debut at Sundance tomorrow.
Disjointed and choppy. I understand that’s probably what the director is going for, to echo the feelings of addiction and living with a loved one who’s addicted. But fabulous performances – and they are absolutely stunning – couldn’t pull me into the story. Boy is a well crafted and brilliantly acted fishbowl, with viewers staring in rather than connecting.
That house tho. That’s the dream y’all. That’s the dream.
“Don’t be scared. You have to trust me. Like you always do.”
Story: David Dunn. Kevin Wendell Crumb. Elijah Price. All three are said to have super-human abilities. But do they? Dr. Ellie Staple aims to cure them of their suspected delusions once the three are safely ensconced in a Supermax research hospital. I’m sure that’ll go just fine.
Genre I’d put it in: Existential Superhero Movies
Remake, Sequel, Based-On, or Original: Part three of M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable (aka “Eastrail 177”) trilogy. Continue reading
