In Theaters: July 17, 2015

This week there are TWO wide releases.  Also, stay tuned afterward and read on for some changes to the blog.

Ant-Man

This year's second Marvel Studios release is Ant-Man.  This movie has actually been in some level of production for about seven years.

Ant-Man has a suit that lets him change size and become very small while maintaining the proportionate strength of a normal sized man.  Also, Ant-Man has the ability to become larger than normal size.  This hasn't been seen in any of the trailers, but I would be surprised if he doesn't go giant in the movie.

With Age of Ultron (not to be confused with Age of Adaline) being generally considered an underwhelming installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ant-Man has some legwork ahead of it to keep moviegoers excited about Marvel.  In my opinion, if this one doesn't really catch on, Marvel could be in a tight spot.  However, if Ant-Man just does okay then expectations will be low for Captain America: Civil War next May, which will allow it to REALLY shine through, as I expect that one to be one of the better Marvel movies.  If you've forgotten what happens when people go to a movie with so-so expectations but the movie is really well made, think back to when the first Iron Man came out.  It made quite a splash to say the least.

Trainwreck

Disgusting.  Don't bother.

It's my sister's birthday on Friday!  Woo!  Happy Birthday, Andrea!

Blog Update Information

Starting in August I am going to change things a little bit.  Instead of doing small briefs on movies coming out every week I will do it every month, covering every wide release coming out for the entire following month.  But also starting in August I will write up a full review for every movie I see in theaters, plus some others possibly.  A lot of people are under the impression that these are reviews anyway (they aren't).  Tell me in the comments if you think this plan is bad or good.  Thanks for reading!
