AQUAMAN DELAYED: WHY AND NEW RELEASE DATE!!


After doing a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and making his full debut next year in Justice League, Jason Momoa's version of the aquatic hero will finally steal the spotlight for himself. For a long time, DC's King of the Seven Seas was expected to go on his solo adventure on July 27, 2018, but this is no longer the case. It's now been revealed that Aquaman will arrive roughly in October of that same year.
The news just dropped (via Deadline) that Aquaman will burst into theaters on October 5, 2018, delaying the movie's release by about two months. Which could mean that another DC movie might take Aquamans previous release date.

 From a creative standpoint, movie Aquaman to October is a good move if director James Wan felt he needed a little more time to make the movie the absolute best it can be which makes me real happy as I like to see that as most people want it out and making money. That said, it's surprising that Aquaman is the DC movie that's being pushed back, considering that its fellow 2018 release Ezra Miller's, The Flash, has been dealing with behind-the-scenes issues lately. Rick Famuyiwa exited as director at the end of October reportedly due to creative differences, and with DC and Warner Bros now looking for a replacement, it's questionable whether they'll be able to kick off principal photography in January as originally planned. If not, that means it wouldn't be able to keep it's March 2018 spot, thus delaying it. Should that happen, maybe because Aquaman has been moved to October, The Flash could take that July spot for itself. Another possibility is that Ben Affleck's Batman movie could score the vacant July date. So there just playing it extra safe.

So far we have only seen very little of Aquaman in the DC Extended Universe and that was in Lex Luthor's video footage from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice where Arthur Curry destroyed a camera underwater with his trident before blasting away. His file was also part of the collection Amanda Waller gave to Bruce Wayne in the Suicide Squad mid-credits scene if you stuck around like fans should. 

 Once he's embraced his inner superhero and fought alongside Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg in Justice League, he'll then swim off to battle Black Manta in his own movie the following year. Aquaman will also star Amber Heard as Mera and Willem Dafoe as Vulko, both of whom will first appear in Justice League. I'm so excited for Willem Dafoe being in another superhero movie as he is my favourite marvel villain and the best Green Goblin ever so him being cast as Vulko made me stoked. Are you guys buzzed or disappointed?? Who you excited for the most?? #CAF #MsaNewsandViews

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

• 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

'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!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
