Thoughts: Valerian and the City of a Thousand Mistakes
Thoughts: Valerian and the City of a Thousand Mistakes

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is quite a mouthful, and even more of a spectacle. When it comes to what a summer movie should be, Valerian is everything you would come to expect: Adventure, romance, drama, CGI, grand set-pieces, and a through-narrative that's easy to follow. All the credit goes to Luc Besson, as putting this movie together was no easy task; it's based on a very old graphic novel. This isn't to say that Valerian is a bad movie, but it does miss the mark when it comes to making it great or even memorable.

Thoughts: Spider-Man: Homeco-meh-ing

Could anybody have predicted that we would have 3 different Spider-Men in the span of 15 years? Well, that's what we have. The first trilogy with Sam Raimi at the helm was a spectacle that ushered in the modern superhero movie genre. The first reboot was directed by Mark Webb and brought us a sharper, wittier series. This latest one is brought to us by Marvel Studios and it definitely shows.

Thoughts: Cars 3 Legacy
Thoughts: Cars 3 Legacy

Well, its better than Cars 2, but that's not a high bar to meet. While Cars was about taking it slow, Cars 3 is about to take it even slower as retirement looms for Lightning McQueen. He's now the old car in a field of new hot shot racers designed to be better, faster, and stronger. The start of this movie had a Rocky Balboa feel to it, but lost its themes along the way as the ending is super predictable.

Thoughts: Dead men tell so-so tales

It's a pirate's life for Johnny Depp as he robs the audience for yet another ride on the high seas with Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. This movie definitely shows its budget on screen with great special effects, costumes, and Johnny Depp. Joining this romp is long time pirate Geoffrey Rush (Barbossa) and new comer Javier Bardem (Salazar) taking on Depp (Sparrow) in search of Poseidon's Trident.
