"Aladdin" (2019)

Like Dumbo , this story is rather dear to me. You will never replace the late great Robin Williams. I have nothing against Will Smith, but it comes down to it, there is no competition, dawg! In theaters: May 24, 2019 Click image to view URL.

"Pokémon: Detective Pikachu"

Yeah, no. In theaters: May 10, 2019 Click image to view URL.

"SHAZAM!"

I don't know. This looks stupid. Fun, but stupid. Why does this superhero have the same name as an app that tells me what song is playing right now? And how does the kid un-Shazam? Say "Mazahs"? Is this DC's version of recruiting a teenager into the Justice League? After seeing this and the Captain Marvel trailer, I don't think I should be going into the subway. I'll either become a stupid superhero or fight old grannies. I probably won't see it right away. I'm behind on my DCEU movies. Well, I haven't started. I've been so busy with the MCU. Eww, I know. WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! This is Captain Marvel as well?  Why is DC stealing names from Marvel? Is how they are going to cross over? Is that possible? Batman lives in Gotham City, and Superman lives in Metropolis; two completely made up cities. The Avengers live in upstate New York, and Ant-Man lives in San Francisco, both very real places.

"Dark Phoenix"

I've seen all the X-Men movies, so I am up to date. So, they bring back the B plot of The Last Stand , great. If I remember correctly, Storm turned against Apocalypse because he was harming Mystique, who was considered a hero for saving the president. So Jean is now the enemy since she hurt Mystique and likely killed her. Along with that Emma Frost lookalike that's probably played by Charlize Theron (it's Jessica Chastain, sorry). Charles is sounding more like Patrick Stewart. I wonder if he is involved by having him do some voice work to age Charles. I really hope it all works out for the X-Men; the fabled Dark Phoenix saga needs to happen, and it needs to be good. Let's see if Fox can finally crack the formula on making a good X-Men movie. And it might happen. I just learned from a WatchMojo video that Captain Marvel has her fingers dipped in every group in the Marvel Universe, the Avengers, X-Men, Defenders, and she even creates new ones. So, it took th

"UglyDolls"

This reminds a lot of Trolls , and in fact I think it's a ripoff of Trolls . With that movie's success a couple years ago, a holiday special, and a sequel on the way, a toy line I never heard of is becoming a film series as well. But it does look amusing with them thinking that screaming is a greeting ritual. Maybe it might be good. In theaters: May 3, 2019 Click image to view URL.

"Spider-Man: Far From Home"

I have watched every MCU movie at this point, so I am up to date. Stay tuned on my " Movie Thoughts " page for those posts. Okay, not what I was expecting. I really wish, though, that the never mentioned a Spider-Man sequel until after Endgame because it ruins the illusion that he's dead. Ever since Tom Holland broke Instagram about releasing the title of the new movie, I find it hard to believe that he is actually dead. Anyhoo, Aunt May is okay with Peter being Spider-Man. Happy is giving May puppy dog eyes. Has Happy forgotten about the nurse he bonded over Downton Abbey with, in Iron Man 3 ? Or are we trying to forget that? Peter, Ned, MJ, and a handful of other friends are backpacking across Europe until Nick Fury, who also isn't dead despite dissolving after the Snap, interrupts the trip to recruit Peter to save the world. MJ and Peter seem to be in a relationship; curious to see how that goes. Does she know he's Spider-Man? She had an attitude like
