The Gallows
It's a horror movie and it looks stupid. Gosh, I hate horror movies. In this one a bunch of teenagers (a horror movie centered around delinquent kids?? How original!) break into their high school auditorium and get haunted by some kid who committed suicide a few years prior. Or something, it looks really dumb. NEXT
Minions
Some people really like Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2. I don't. I don't find the Minions funny. I certainly don't think they can carry a movie (even though the Penguins of Madagascar did earlier this year). However, I've been in the theater when the trailer for this plays and people laughed, so maybe it'll do okay. I won't be going. NEXT
SELF/LESS
Here we have a sci-fi thriller with some potential. Although, honestly, I don't think it will realize its full potential. Ben Kingsley plays an old and wealthy man who is approached by a company offering him a sort of immortality. They transfer his mind into a younger body (Ryan Reynolds) but he starts to have flashes of another life. It turns out the younger body was actually kidnapped. What do you do? I don't know! If you really want to find out you can go see it this weekend! NEXT
THE FOLLOWING WERE RELEASED ON JULY 1
Magic Mike XXL
It's a movie about a male stripper. Actually it's a sequel to a movie about a male stripper. The lead is Channing Tatum. Basically this is the same target audience as 50 Shades of Grey. (people who are at least a little bit gross) NEXT
Terminator: Genisys
This one I actually just saw last night. I really liked it! No complaints. It kept me guessing, it set up for a sequel AND gave me a proper ending, and Emilia Clarke is more than a little bit good-looking. And Arnold's back!!
This one might be a bit confusing for those who are unfamiliar with Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). But don't worry about Terminator 3 (2003) and Terminator Salvation (2009) as this movie pretends they don't exist - and rightfully so, they weren't very good. As a matter of fact, James Cameron himself has gone on record to say that he considers this the true third movie in the franchise! (James Cameron created the franchise and directed the first two)
Go see this one.
THE FOLLOWING WERE RELEASED ON JUNE 26
Max
A dog in the marines works with a soldier. That soldier dies. The dog is given to the soldier's younger brother. Together they save the day from one of the soldier's old friends who is a total jerk now. NEXT
Ted 2
Sequel to Ted. Critics say it isn't funny. I don't think it looks funny.
THE END OF THE SPEED ROUND
Phew! We're caught up!
