Your Weekend Movie Guide for June 2023

 

Ah, back in the day when movie houses pulled out all the stops to compete with that new invention...television.  Studios made the films louder and wider and bigger to get that audience back in the theater.   And the cinemas themselves were ones to behold.  Such decor and opulence.

In 2023, movies have pretty much given up the fight to home entertainment.  Nobody leaves the house anymore.  Some films actually premiere in your living room.  Still, let's explore if there is anything at all on a screen bigger than your tablet.  You know the monthly drill, gang. I'll sort through the pages of the local rag and give you my knee-jerk, gut reaction to what's out there.

Spoiler alert: not much.

Spider-Man - Across the Spiderverse:   I swear there's a new one every goddamn week.

Guardians of the Galaxy- Volume 3:  The galaxy is fine.  No guardians needed.

The Little Mermaid:  Disney shits the bed again with another live action remake of a cartoon.   With a Black mermaid, no less.

Transformers - Rise of the Beast:  Junk yard, please.

The Boogeyman:  How many people think this is about Trump?

Book Club - The Next Chapter:  For those 80 and older.

About My Father:  Robert DeNiro shits his bed again with another comedy demonstrating that he can't do comedy.

Mending the Line:   Veterans from Afghanistan...well, those that got out.

You Hurt My Feelings:  Starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.   Have we discussed lately what a bad reputation she has?

Asteroid City:  More confusing dribble from Wes Anderson, who has yet to make one coherent film.

Fast X:  Still lingering around like a bad sinus infection.

Elemental:   The latest failure from Disney-Pixar, who lost me when they stopped making Toy Story.

The Flash:   In a pan.

No Hard Feelings:   A new rom com but the title sounds dirty.

The Blackenings:   A bunch of Blacks get together to celebrate Juneteenth.  Which, by the way, was not a holiday until two years ago.

Dinner last night:  Sandwich.
