Dune: Part Two<\/i><\/p>\n

March 1<\/p>\n

It\u2019s finally here. After the havoc the actors\u2019 strike wreaked on the entire 2023 fall movie schedule, the heavily anticipated sequel to the Oscar-winning Dune<\/i> will be hitting theatres this year. I\u2019m a huge fan of Frank Herbert\u2019s books as well as the first movie, and I\u2019m happy to report that this film looks to continue the story with style. I can\u2019t wait to see this when it hits cinemas in March.<\/p>\n

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire<\/i><\/p>\n

March 29<\/p>\n

This March, get your ghost on for the the newest instalment in the Ghostbusters<\/i> franchise: Frozen Empire<\/i>. From a stacked cast to a brand-new original villainess ghost, this looks like one spooky time at the movies.<\/p>\n

Mickey 17<\/i><\/p>\n

Date TBA<\/p>\n

From Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho comes the adaptation of best-selling sci-fi book Micky7<\/i> by Edward Ashton. I just finished reading the novel\u2014it\u2019s brilliant and just screams for a movie adaptation, so I can\u2019t wait to see what the filmmakers make out of this story.<\/p>\n

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire<\/i><\/p>\n

April 12\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of my favourite fun movie franchises that has put out movies in the last two years has to be Warner Brothers\u2019 MonsterVerse. This April, a new instalment in that franchise will be released, and from the awesome trailer it looks like Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire<\/i> will be just as much fun as Godzilla vs. Kong<\/i>. From the terrific-looking monster fighting scenes to the cool designs of the monsters, this looks to be a absolute beast.<\/p>\n

The Fall Guy<\/i><\/p>\n

May 1<\/p>\n

Since his spectacular directorial debut with the first John Wick<\/i> film, former stunt choreographer\u00a0 <\/span>David Leitch has become a huge star in the action genre. From his amazing work on 2018\u2019s Deadpool 2<\/i> to his hilariously action-packed directing on 2022\u2019s Bullet Train<\/i>, his movies never fail to entertain their audiences. This May, Leitch is releasing his newest, The Fall Guy<\/i>, and it looks fantastic. Based of the old TV series of the same name starring Lee Majors, this movie stars Ryan Gosling as a stuntman who\u2019s working on a movie set. When the star he\u2019s doubling goes missing, he investigates his disappearance to win back his ex-girlfriend (who is the director of the movie that the disappeared actor was working on). This movie looks so funny, and I\u2019m so excited for it.<\/p>\n

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga<\/i><\/p>\n

May 24<\/p>\n

This movie looks absolutely bananas good. I absolutely love the Mad Max<\/i> films, especially Fury Road<\/i>. I was so happy to hear that we were not only getting another movie, but we were getting a spinoff movie based on the life of Imperator Furiosa, one the coolest female action-hero characters that has ever been. I\u2019m so pumped for this movie, and I really can\u2019t wait to see more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes<\/i><\/p>\n

May 24<\/p>\n

This is easily one of my favourite science-fiction movie series of all time. Fun fact: it\u2019s also the oldest science-fiction series of all time, having spawned 10 films, starting way back in 1968. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes<\/i> is the tenth film and fourth in the prequel series. It picks up right after the death of Caesar in the last movie and it follows a new pack of humans and apes fighting for co-existence after a deadly pandemic claimed the lives of most humans on planet Earth. From the look of the apes to the fantastic set design, this movie looks visually spectacular and it\u2019s one you won\u2019t want to miss, even if you\u2019re not a fan of this franchise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside Out 2<\/i><\/p>\n

June 14<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really excited for this one. When I first saw Inside Out<\/i>, I thought it was an intelligibly handled look inside human emotions such as joy, sadness, disgust, fear, and anger. I especially liked how it used humour to insightfully show how teenage brains work. I\u2019m super excited for the sequel and how it will explore anxiety and what that does to the human brain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Quiet Place: Day One\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

June 28<\/p>\n

One of my favourite horror franchises is finally getting a prequel that, hopefully, answers some of the franchise\u2019s biggest questions: how did the super-hearing murderess aliens get here? Why are they here? Where did they come from? Along with a great cast and fabulous sound and visual design, A Quiet Place: Day One<\/i> looks to be an absolute blast.<\/p>\n

Twisters<\/i><\/p>\n

July 19<\/p>\n

Ever since the smash success that was Top Gun: Maverick<\/i> there\u2019s been a trend going on in movies to take an old IP that did well and try to put some new life in it. This July, that trend continues with Twisters<\/i>, the sequel to the 1996 box-office smash Twister<\/i>, about two tornado trackers who hunt down a deadly tornado. We don\u2019t know much yet, but this concept does a great job in\u00a0 <\/span>sparking interest, and with a brand-new cast and Oscar-nominated director Lee Isaac Chung at the helm, this movie looks to be a hell of a thrill ride for all audiences to enjoy.<\/p>\n

Deadpool 3<\/i><\/p>\n

July 26<\/p>\n

This summer our favourite merc with a mouth is making a trip to the MCU along with his clawed rival, Wolverine. There are so many reasons to be excited for this movie, from the very anticipated rivalry between Wolverine and Deadpool to the title character\u2019s journey into the ever-evolving world that has become the MCU. This movie is on everybody\u2019s radar, and for good reason.<\/p>\n

I hope everybody had a fantastic holiday break, and, as always, I\u2019ll see you at the movies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
