Big Releases For May

So it's a new month, it's time for new movies;

The Fall Guy- Friday

I think I first saw a trailer for this when I saw Mean Girls. Honestly it looks pretty cool and I probably will go see it. Critics are already responding well to the film and it already set a world record. I see it doing well at the box-office mainly due to the star power of Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt (ironically Barbie and Oppenheimer alumni).

Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes- May 10

I've never seen a single one the Planet Of The Apes movies. I always thought they were kind of ridiculous. I'll probably end up seeing this just out of curiosity. While the newer movies started off with mixed reception, they went through a massive shift over the years. But given this is the first of the new movies without Andy Serkis as Caesar, I'm not exactly sure where this will land in terms of critics. This is probably gonna do well at the box office though.

If- May 17

I think the first time I saw a trailer for this was some time last year. It looks cute, but I have no intention in seeing it. I'm not exactly sure where it stands in terms of critics or box office. But I see this as a fun movie for a family to see.

The Garfield Movie- May 24

Chris Pratt has been kicking butt with these voice roles. First The Super Mario Bros Movie, now this. I have no intention in seeing this. No particular reason, I just don't care enough to see it. This is definitely not gonna be critically acclaimed, but not necessarily hated either. I see this having similar reception to Super Mario Bros, but not doing better than it. Super Mario Bros was a phenomenon.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga- May 24

I personally am not a big fan of Mad Max: Fury Road. I understand why it's acclaimed, but because of my lack of care for that movie I will not be seeing this one. It's probably going to do very well in terms of box office due to the popularity of Fury Road and Furiosa (that and Anya-Taylor Joy was a very good casting). I will gladly leave the reception to the critics.

The only other major movie coming out this month is Back To Black, which I will go see. Thanks For Reading.

Discombobulated But Good

I've always had an odd relationship with The Color Purple . I don't care enough to read the book, and some family of mine participated in a community production of the Broadway musical. I do like the original movie, but it's also EXTREMELY annoying due to some of it's subject matters. I saw the remake yesterday, and it of course centers on Celie Harris-Johnson and the struggles she's had throughout her life. The movie is all over the place in terms of it's writing, pacing, and it's music (and considering this was directed by the same idiot behind Black Is King, I am not surprised). Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible. But there were times in the movie where I wanted more but got less, and in the times I wanted less, I got more than I would like. A lot of songs from the musical were cut in favor of new songs that weren't so great. The songs from the musical that stayed in the movie were arranged horribly. I also felt that the plot moved pret

Top 10 Female Performances In Music Biopics

This list is of acting portrayals of female singers in movie biopics. Tv movies will be considered, but Tv shows are excluded. #10: Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash- Walk The Line Witherspoon's performance as June Carter Cash has had varied reception among critics and audiences, and that's understandable. Several people found her very annoying and disagreed with her Oscar win. I wouldn't say I agree with her win, but I don't really care enough to disagree either. Overall I thought she did a relatively good job as June Carter. A good job, not a great job (she's at the bottom of this list for a reason). The problem isn't even Witherspoon, it's just that other actresses on this list could easily outshine her. It also doesn't help that Witherspoon is the only actress on this list whose character is not the center of the movie as "Walk The Line" obviously focuses on Johnny Cash. While that does give Witherspoon a disadvantage, for me it was

Top 10 Signature Songs

You know how an artists has that one song that pretty much defines their career and who they are as an artist? This is a list of those songs. Please keep in mind that just because an artist and their song is on the list doesn’t mean I like the song or the artist (especially the artist). It just means that I acknowledge the impact and importance of the song and/or artist. One song per artist. #10: The Real Slim Shady- Eminem Technically speaking, Lose Yourself is more notable than The Real Slim Shady . But I feel like this song really set the standard on who Eminem is as an artist. He pretty much hit the jackpot when coming up with such an iconic nickname, and Eminem presents it with so much personality, style, rhythm and aggression that it just works. I'm not even sure if it could have as much of an effect on people with someone else in the track. Only Eminem could make it work. Again I have nothing against Lose Yourself , in fact I love that song more than this one. But I feel
