Your Weekend Movie Guide for April 2023

 

Here is the famous Cinerama Dome back in 1966.   And now entering its third straight year of being COVID-closed.   Oh, there are rumors that the complex will reopen, but news updates have grown scarce again.   

How I miss this place.  The perfect venue to see a movie.  The Arclight Hollywood sure did know how to give you a true cinematic experience.   Now all we have got is crappy chains like AMC which barrage you with eight or nine trailers before the picture even starts.   But we'll see what's playing there regardless.   You know the monthly drill, gang.   I'll waft through the LA Times movie guide and give you my knee jerk reaction to what's on the screen.   

All the while...thinking fondly of the day when the Arclight Hollywood comes back to us.

Air:   The trailer, seen at an AMC...natch, looked interesting.   But let's face it. How much story can you get about the creation of a sneaker?

Super Mario Bros Movie:   I forgot to bring quarters.

The Pope's Exorcist:  Starring Russell Crowe and I am sorry.  Nothing can top the original.

Renfield:  Dracula's assistant and this time the vampire is played by Nicolas Cage.  Sorry, Bela.

Dungeons and Dragons - Honor Among Thieves:   I know nothing about this game and I'm kind of proud about that.

John Wick - Chapter 4:  Still working on Chapters 1 to 3.

Mafia Mamma:  Toni Collette as the Godmother?

Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3:   Still working on Volumes 1 and 2.

Sweetwater:  Biopic about the first Black player in the NBA.  There would be more.

Creed III:  Eventually, this Rocky reboot will give us the grandson of Apollo Creed.  Or granddaughter.

Half Sisters:  Because they identify as half brothers?

Fast X:   Still working on II through IX.

Evil Dead Rise:  Rinse and spit and repeat.

How To Blow Up a Pipeline:  Ask Joe Biden.

Beau is Afraid:  This comes in at a length of 3 hours, so Len is also afraid.

Somewhere in Queens:  Ray Romano's directorial review and it's about an Italian family, so he is directing what he knows about.

Dinner last night:  Leftover SPO.
