Get On Up
This could be a fascinating biopic. Director Tate Taylor (fresh off The Help) seems a natural fit for the James Brown story: Get On Up. Star Chadwick Boseman is best known for playing Jackie Robinson in last year's 42.
To be honest I know very little about James Brown but I enjoy a good rags to riches story as much as the next guy.
Early reviews are very positive.
Get On Up is rated PG-13 for sexual content, drug use, some strong language, and violent situations.
Guardians of the Galaxy
Here it is. This year's second entry from Marvel Studios (after Captain America: The Winter Soldier). This will also be the last movie from Marvel Studios before The Avengers: Age of Ultron in early May next year.
Marvel Studios has become my most trusted source for movies. I now trust them to make a good movie more than I trust Pixar or Christopher Nolan to make a good movie! They've earned that from me. In case you're wondering, the following is their track record:
Iron Man
The Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor
Captain America: The First Avenger
Marvel's The Avengers
Iron Man 3
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
So, yes, I trust them to make a good movie. Who can argue with that? Did I mention that the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" is the highest grossing franchise in film history as of this year? (but if you adjust for inflation James Bond still wins)
Also, I was able to participate in a 17-minute IMAX preview for Guardians of the Galaxy a few weeks ago. It was basically a scene from the middle of the movie that was likely edited a bit differently than the final product. The bottom line? It rocked. Everyone loved it. And I highly recommend this movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language.
