I am looking forward to this! Beyond is the latest in the rebooted series of Star Trek films with J.J. Abrams as the producer/director. From what I hear this is pretty, pretty good. Let’s boldly go to the movies this afternoon.

The list of Marshall’s popular work stretches even further, from his early time as a writer for The Tonight Show with Jack Paar, to multiple episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Lucy Show, and to Mork & Mindy, the Robin Williams show that bridged the gap between the 1970s and ’80s.

Garry Marshall entertained a generation. His films such as Pretty Woman to The Princess Diaries captured the imagination and are iconic. Marshall told great stories that lit up the silver screen. He will be missed.

The Martian, Saving Matt Damon

Saving Matt Damon has cost the American taxpayer billions of dollars and a few lives. It’s all worth it because he is a national treasure. We are watching it again today. This movie is every bit awesome.

Ghostbusters, The Classic 1984 Version #ghostbusters

Instead of the VCR its the Blu Ray player and tonight we’re watching the DVD version of this great film. It’s a classic for all the right reasons, like it’s funny and the science fiction is awesome. One thing that makes this a great film is the comic chemistry of the cast Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and the late Harold Ramis. Sigourney Weaver who is a sci-fi queen herself makes this a truly special movie.

I am looking forward to the new movie with Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig. This will be a new movie for a new generation.

So, who ya going to call? You know what to do…

The Secret Life Of Pets…Fabulously Furry Fun!

This movie is adorable. It’s full of fun, action and heart. Its kind of a flight of furry fancy about what goes on when pets people go to work. Pets do have secret lives and they can live very interesting lives when we aren’t looking. Dogs, cats, birds and other critters make this movie awesome. It is so worth seeing in the theater. The animation is state-of-the-art and it makes New York where the movie is set look amazing. Like most movies of this genre there is an all-star cast featuring Louis CK, Jenny Slate, Eric Stonestreet and Kevin Hart. We saw a 5:10 PM presentation of it and the theater was packed. It could be the top box office hit of the weekend.

Zootopia on Blu Ray, It’s A Great Flick!

Zootopia is one of the best animated movies in a long time. It’s exciting, deep and very funny. It’s out on Blu Ray now. If you haven’t seen it, do so! The movie is just as good the second time around.
