KINGSMAN 2 DELAYED



Fans were left in shock and awe last night. As a special Thanksgiving treat, 20th Century Fox revealed the first poster for Ridley Scott's anticipated sci-fi thriller Alien: Covenant. Not only did it show off a grizzly new Xenomorph which looks so bloody awesome, it also came shouting the tagline, 'Run!' (Perhaps not as eloquent as 'In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream.') Most interesting of all is that Fox moved the release date up several months to May 19, 2017, which is not too far away.
Problem with this, though? Another hugely anticipated movie is being delayed which is quite disappointing. Yes, we're going to have to wait a while longer for Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Box Office drops the somewhat disappointing news.
"Fox has moved #AlienCovenant to May 19, 2017 and #Kingsman #TheGoldenCircle to October 6, 2017."
Kingsman 2 was originally slated to hit the ground running on June 16, 2017. Now we'll hold tight another four and a half months to witness the awaited return of Harry Hart and his pals.Which isn't to.much of a big deal because we still have so many top notch films coming out around this time and every other month so we good to be patient.
 In its old slot, the Kingsman sequel would have had to face off against Disney and Pixar's Cars 3 which is going to be awesome . Though that franchise might be growing long in the tooth, a teaser was dropped this past week, and it garnered raves and plenty of interest. Enough to call for The Golden Circle to move. Also opening in limited release is the drama The Book of Henry from Focus Features.
Now, Kingsman 2 will be going up against another hugely anticipated sequel. One fans have been waiting years for. Yes, the stately Kingsman will now be going toe-to-toe with the return of Harrison Ford in Bladerunner 2, which is also known as Bladerunner 2049. It co-stars Ryan Reynolds. If that wasn't bad enough, the movie will also be going up against what could be a surprise hit, the animated My Little Pony movie. When it comes to paying audiences, never underestimate the Bronies.
Alien: Covenant originally had the October release date. Now, in its May 19 time frame, those deadly Xenomorphs could be facing even deadlier competition. Their biggest competitor is The Rock and Zac Efron in the Baywatch movie, which will pull in a decidedly different audience, yet both come packing a hard R rating. For the PG-13 set is the Conjuring spin-off sequel Annabelle 2. And the kids will have to fight over Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, which has given a complete overhaul to its whole cast, and the animated adventure The Nut Job 2. So all in all it is a bit distressing that we have to wait but with all these others we have to Bare witness two  #CAF #MsaNewsandViews

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

Image
• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook...

Some funny news as Seth Rogen criticises Sony on Twitter!

Image
Seth Rogen has criticised a new Sony Pictures initiative to make family friendly versions of its films available to viewers. Sony’s Clean Version initiative allows home entertainment customers to purchase films that have been edited for broadcast television and in-flight entertainment systems. Under the scheme, “scenes of graphic violence, offensive language, sexual innuendo and other adult content” will be censored or removed from some PG-13 and R-rated movies. So far, “clean versions” of 24 films, including Captain Phillips, Step Brothers and the Spider-Man movies, have been made available to purchase. Rogen criticised the initiative on Twitter : “Holy shit please don’t do this to our movies. Thanks.” Holy shit please don't do this to our movies. Thanks. https://t.co/0lpoESaIQd — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) 6 June 2017 The actor, who has made adult-themed comedies such as Knocked Up , This Is The End and Sausage Party (don't forget the legendary Pineapple Expre...

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!
