To this day, I think of the original Independence Day every Fourth of July. "Today is our independence day..." Ugh, that corny speech gets me every time. I'll be honest, I loved the original, but did it really need a sequel? I wonder what Hollywood would do if we all stopped paying to see these sequels?
Jason Bourne
Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne and despite this being another selection within a franchise, it looks far from boring. Jason Bourne hits theaters on July 29th.
Trailer: The Girl on the Train
The Girl on the Train, starring Emily Blunt is a film adaptation of the novel by Paula Hawkins. The movie is billed as a mystery thriller and it will be released on October 7th. Looks like I have a new book to read before October 7th.
Trailer: The Birth of a Nation
Nina Simone's rendition of "Strange Fruit" playing in the background just ripped my heart from my chest, and I'm bleeding happily because this movie looks absolutely riveting. I cannot wait for it to hit theaters in October. Here's to high hopes for authentic storytelling.
Trailer: Me Before You
This looks adorable. Me Before You is scheduled for release on June 3rd.
Trailer: The Family Fang
I wasn't sure how I felt about seeing so many familiar faces in one movie, when there aren't a bunch of explosions and heart-pumping chase scenes, that sort of thing can be distracting. I didn't think I'd get into this, but by the time the trailer was over, my interest had been piqued. I love stories about dysfunctional families because who doesn't? Plus Christopher Walken's in this, so why not? The Family Fang hits theaters April 29th.
