Fall Return to Theaters

 


It's fair to say 2020 hasn't gone as expected in a lot of ways. That includes our life at the movies. Around about March 15, everything shut, including movie theaters. Some have slowly begun to open, albeit without new films. But there is hope! The first new releases are set to begin rolling out the next two weeks, and there are other major releases on the schedule for the Fall. So below are a few movies coming in the remainder of the year (hopefully) that we can look forward to seeing!

Tenet (September 4)
This film from Christopher Nolan has been oft delayed but is set to release to international audiences on August 26. It's supposed to finally release in this country for Labor Day weekend. Fingers crossed, as this would be the first big film to bow since COVID hit. I think it could also end up being one of the best.

Wonder Woman (October 2)
This was supposed to be the film of summer, but I'll settle for it being the film of fall. Gal Gadot is great in this role, and I'm hyped for this sequel that gets the band back together and moves the action to 1984. This will be a huge release that, if nothing else, should get folks flocking back to theaters.

Death on the Nile (October 23)
Kenneth Branagh is back as Poirot. I liked "Murder on the Orient Express" for what it was, and I'm interested to see this follow up based on the Agatha Christie novel. 

Black Widow (November 6)
This is another film that was originally set to debut in the summer but got pushed. Still, it will be a nice treat in November. Scarlett Johansson reprises her role, likely for the last time, in an original story that introduces the rest of Natasha's family. This one has a good cast and looks like a fun film.

Soul (November 20)
There were rumors this would go to Disney+, which is still possible, too, but it shows as going to theaters (and I saw a trailer yesterday). This might be the Pixar release this year with the best award potential, with Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey lending their voices. This will be one to see.

No Time to Die (November 20)
This was the first film delayed because of the virus, as it was originally slated to be released April 10. Now it's set to come out as we approach Thanksgiving. This should also be the final James Bond film for star Daniel Craig, so expect him to go out with a bang.

West Side Story (December 18)
There aren't as many big December releases as in year's past, but this re-make of the musical should be one of the year's biggest films. It's a hot property directed by Steven Spielberg, making it one of the most anticipated films of the year.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve
