Why I’m Worried: Ghostbusters Cinematic Universe

Posted on by John Hayeck

Preface

  • Haven’t done one of these in who-knows-how-long.
  • As you all know, March is graveyard month of movies.
  • So in my attempts to keep you all entertained (and manage at least 8 posts on this site per month), let’s talk about a developing news story in the world of movies that’s pretty significant, and has just taken a dark turn…

Dark Places Trailer Review

Posted on by John Hayeck

Preface

  • I actually just finished reading Gillian Flynn’s novel Dark Places about a week ago.
  • And now the poster just dropped, the trailer just dropped, and I’m excited.
    • Because it looks good.
  • (And yeah I didn’t see the new Age of Ultron trailer because I don’t want the whole movie to be spoiler for me by the time I see it.  So we got Dark Places trailer, and maybe a Mr. Holmes Trailer review also…)

Premise

  • Dark Places is about a woman named Libby Day (played by Charlize Theron) who survives the murder of her three family members as a young girl, and then testifies against her brother who she claims committed the crime.
  • But 30 years later, some crime experts that research the case bring her onto their team and try to prove that her brother may be innocent after all…
  • And don’t worry, no spoilers ahead (cuz like I said, I’ve read the book).

March 2015 Update

Posted on by John Hayeck

Update

  • Hello all!
  • For those of you who don’t know, this is the month that My Movie Thoughts dies.
  • Whoa, whoa, whoa, before you click away let me explain myself.
  • This site isn’t going anywhere, it’s running strong and I’m loving doing it.
  • BUT, March and April are the two worst movie months of the year from my standpoint.
    • January and February are the worst in quality, but they’re still being cranked out, and maybe you get your one good one.
    • But March and April? Quality never exceeds mediocre and there are so few releases actually worth seeing.
  • So my average movie review count for a normal month (about 4 new releases) will probably dip to possibly 2 new releases.
    • Expect one for at least Insurgent.
  • That being said, I will try to do a few “Classic Reviews” of older movies, or some of my favorite movies.
  • As well as trailer talk, news coverage, etc.
  • Also, two bits that will be big:
    • Discussions.
    • TV Show Reviews.
  • I said in my 30 Rock review that you can expect a LOT of TV shows reviews coming up, and I’m currently working on one, with two others being drafted.
    • TV Show reviews take like 10 times the hours as a movie review (which I can crank out in about an hour)
  • And Discussions, as I’m calling them, will now be featured once a month(-ish)!
    • You guys really responded well to my RUMOR: Is Spider-Man Going Back to Marvel?, which is actually my favorite post on this site thus far.
    • So I wanted to make a monthly bit of longer posts where I talk about a current topic in the movie world.
    • I the next one about halfway done, and I think you guys will really like it….

So guys, that’s the March Update! Hope you all stay tuned in to the site over the next couple months before the Summer Movie Season is ushered in with all her glory. And as always, thanks for reading guys.
