This Memorial Day weekend, Solo hasn't been making as much as the previous Star Wars films under Disney so far. Don't know how much better it will fare internationally.

The new Bumblebee movie trailer is out and it actually looks like it could be decent...

I mean, the writers and the director at least look like they kind of know what they're doing. I mean, not ugly cinematography, a female main character who isn't overly sexualized, less in your face product placement, no American flags and weird, over the top patriotism, no unnecessary explosions (as far as we know), oh, and most importantly- no Michael Bay!

Even though the all-female Ocean's Eleven reboot Ocean's 8 has garnered lukewarm reviews, it seems to be doing well for itself, taking the #1 spot and slightly outgrossing each of the previous films.

Well, so far, I'm surprised by the positive reception to the release of the trailer for the new live-action DUMBO . . . I mean, aren't people getting sick of Disney's live action remakes, sequels, prequels, sidequels, whatever?

i think people forget tim burton hasnt actually had a good movie ever, and the nightmare before christmas wasnt his movie despite his name being on it

Well, PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE was his directoral debut. That was good.

I always like Edward Scissorhands.....

Let's not forget Ed Wood. And I feel that his stop-motion remake of Frankenweenie was a nice return to form. I've also been hearing good stuff about Big Eyes.
