"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 them twenty years, but let's hope it works.

Taking a Break!

Since theaters are closed and movie premieres are being pushed back because of the Coronavirus, I will be taking a break reviewing upcoming movies. When the pandemic subsides, I will return to looking at new movies. In the meantime, stay safe, avoid contact as much as you can, and stay home if you're unwell. We will get through this together.

"Klaus"

Netflix must have read my post on The Christmas Chronicles because here comes another Santa Claus movie, and I'm rather excited for it. I kept having vibes of the early days of 2000s animation with films like The Prince of Egypt , The Road to El Dorado , and Fox Animation's Anastasia , so it kind of hit me there with nostalgia. It also felt like the remake of the Ranken & Bass story we deserve. If this doesn't get nominated for Best Animated Feature, I'll be very disappointed.

"Us"

I'm confused. The people attacking Jordan Peele's family is them. But why is the boy doppelgänger wearing a sack over his face? I think it's the white family they met on the beach. Instead of becoming black, like in Get Out , they are killing black and making it a black on black crime. Yeah, I'm calling blackface in 2019. Okay, so I guess the white family isn't involved because they are victims too. And I now know why the boy's doppelgänger is wearing a mask; they wears a mask. But why are they after themselves? It doesn't make sense. I'll probably wait and see what critics think of it first. In theaters: March 15, 2019 Click image to view URL.
