Upcoming Releases, March 2024

 


We've made it to March and there are blockbusters a plenty throughout the month. Let's dive in and see what's coming!

Friday, March 1:
* Dune, Part 2 (Theaters): The follow up to the first half, released in 2021, comes out to kick start the month. Delayed from last year, this figures to be the biggest film of 2024 so far. I'm excited to see it.

*Megamind Vs. The Doom Syndicate (Peacock): This is a direct-to-streaming follow up to the Will Ferrell animated film. This one is also set to kickoff a new animated series. It should be fun for younger viewers.

* Spaceman (Netflix): This is a feel-good story about an orphan who defies the odds on a solo space mission. This looks like a fun streaming option to kick off March.

Thursday, March 7:
* Ricky Stanicky (Prime Video): Three friends used a created person, Ricky, to get out of trouble. Years later, when their wives and girlfriends want to meet Ricky, they hire an actor to play the part. This one features Zac Efron and John Cena, directed by Peter Farrelly. It looks fun.

Friday, March 8:
* Imaginary (Theaters): This is a horror movie about a stuff bear, that's possessed, and tries to steal a girl while wreaking havoc. It looks unsettling.

* Kung Fu Panda 4 (Theaters): Jack Black is back to lead the voice cast in this fourth installment of the franchise. This is the first big animated theater film of the year.

* Damsel (Netflix): Millie Bobby Brown fills her time between Stranger Things seasons in this action film for Netflix. She's a solid lead and this looks like some fun.

Friday, March 15:
* The American Society of Magical Negroes (Theaters): This one got its premier at the Sundance Film Festival and now goes wide. It looks like a fun and engaging new film.

* Arthur The King (Theaters): Mark Wahlberg plays a Swedish adventurer who befriends a dog along with his team on an endurance race in Ecuador. This looks like some heart-warming, family-friendly entertainment.

Thursday, March 21:
* Road House (Prime Video): Jake Gyllenhaal takes the lead in this re-make. It looks like a bit of fun and should be part of a big month for Prime Video.

Friday, March 22:
* Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (Theaters): This follow up from Jason Reitman takes the action back to New York. It was delayed from last year but looks like a great launch into Spring Break.

* Problemista (Theaters): This A24 release was also pushed from 2023. It gets a limited release in early March and should expand by this date. It looks like a quirky comedy.

* Immaculate (Theaters): Sydney Sweeney takes the lead as a woman of faith in this new thriller. Hard to tell what to make of this one.

* Luca (Theaters): The third and final Pixar film to get a theatrical release this year after previously releasing on Disney+. Hard to imagine this gets a huge bump.

Friday, March 29:
* Godzilla X Kong (Theaters): The giants are back together again, following up on their clash in 2021. This is the fifth film in the Monsterverse and should be something to see on the big screen.

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...
