What to look forward to in June of 2014

I decided to start doing a monthly update thing for the blog. At the start of each month, I'll make a schedule of all the new releases that I am definitely going to see and review. I already know what new films I'm seeing in June of 2014, but I also have plans to review other movies, so be sure to check for all of that. Here's June's schedule.


June 6- Edge of Tomorrow

June 8- 21 Jump Street (2012)

June 10- How to Train Your Dragon

June 13- How to Train Your Dragon 2 & 22 Jump Street

June 15- Transformers (2007)

June 20- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

June 25- Transformers: Dark of the Moon

June 27- Transformers: Age of Extinction

Keep in mind, there might be slight changes, like a date getting pushed back a bit, or a movie that's not listed getting reviewed, but overall, this is how I am hoping it will go. I am looking forward to all these movies, most of all, Age of Extinction. Let's hope the summer movie season delivers well. 

Monsters: Dark Continent trailer

I might not be a music genius, and rap is certainly not my thing, but the rap in this trailer is one of the worst I've ever heard. 

A couple weeks ago, during my Godzilla countdown leading up to the new film, I reviewed a film called Monsters. It was directed by Gareth Edwards, who also directed the new Godzilla. I was bored out of my mind by Monsters. It was too slow paced and there was no payoff for the suspense. Scenes dragged on too long and the characters were stupid. I didn't like it. But apparently, it's getting a sequel. Oh boy. 

What happened? It looks like a completely different type of movie than the first one! The first one was (trying) to be an adventure film. Now it looks like the monsters aren't even the focus (not that they ever were). Seems more like a dramatic, gritty, war movie. I don't know what to think of it. The guy rapping sounds like he's half asleep. If it's the main character doing it, then I KNOW we're in for a thrill ride! Might as well be asleep with him. The monsters, for the short glimpses we get, actually look really cool. They seem a lot more creatively designed than the generic giant squids we got last time. To be honest, it does look like there's a lot more action in this one, but how much of it there is remains a mystery until its release date, which is September, if I remember correctly. It might be decent, or it could be as boring as the first. Who knows? You can bet I'll (try to) give it a watch the first chance I get.

Godzilla 2014 vs 1998 and 1954: Movie comparison

It’s been about a week since my last review, so I decided to do one more thing Godzilla related before moving on. This time, I will be doing a comparison between the newest movie, the original 1954 film, and 1998. There will be minor spoilers.

Guardians of the Galaxy new trailer!

A new trailer for the Guardians of the Galaxy is out! If you don't know who these heroes are... then I'm the worst possible person to answer your questions. I can at least try. So keep reading after the trailer if you want to know more... or if you want to laugh at my feeble attempts to inform people, that's fine, too. 

Godzilla sequel in the works!

 I don't normally do updates on this kind of thing, because at this point in time I'm still a really small blog, so people would hear this before I tell about it, but I've been doing nothing but Godzilla since March, so why not?

Godzilla has made a HUGE amount of money on its opening weekend. Over $90 million in America, and a cumulative of $196 million worldwide. Godzilla has broken records for this year, and even it beat Iron Man 3's May release last year. With numbers like that, there will most definitely be a sequel, but I didn't think it would be announced so quickly! Warner Brothers and Legendary are already developing it! This is good news, because maybe this next movie will show more kaiju action. 

I'm looking forward to it. I'm guessing it will be either 2016 or 2017 at the latest. I'm hoping Toho will give the studios rights to more of their monsters. How cool would it be to see Rodan, or Anguirus, or Varan... or King Ghidorah?!? That would be awesome! 

We'll just have to wait a bit to see what they'll do. I'm looking forward to it.

GODZILLA: 2014 Review!!!!

The wait is finally over! Godzilla, King of the Monsters, has returned to reclaim his throne! I’ve been so excited for this movie, and I was really hoping it would be worth the wait, and it was.

Monsters (2010) review: Godzilla Countdown #29-ish

This is the ‘big surprise’ of the Godzilla Countdown. Woo hoo. Yay. Big surprise. Anyway, this isn’t a Godzilla film at all, but it is related to the new movie coming out rather soon. How? Because they both have the same director: Gareth Edwards. This is his first and only other film, as far as I know. It’s an indie film from 2010.

Happy 30th Transformers Anniversary!! Voice actors for AOE revealed + more!

30 years of giant alien robots beating the crap out of each other... what's not to celebrate on this day?

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 review

One word to sum up the ending: heartbreaking. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, I can’t say why the ending is so sad. You’ll most likely see it spoiled somewhere else, though.
