Inferno finds Tom Hanks and Ron Howard returning to the Robert Langdon franchise to produce yet another silly movie. It's not "good" but it's not boring either. It's also the one big release this week, so see if there's anything else out there to look into in theaters. Lots of new home releases this week as well, including my first Criterion Blu-ray review. Be sure to check out our fun podcast episodes from this week and of course check out the news posts I put together. Enjoy!

Tom Cruise is back as Jack Reacher this weekend and we'll have to see how audiences respond to another round with his other franchise. Speaking of franchises, Ouija: Origin of Evil is a complete 360 in terms of quality with regard to the first film.

Following the recent reveal of a title and poster for the final film to feature Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, we now have the first trailer for the film Logan (and a red-band version that I've added at the bottom). It promises what we should honestly be wanting from these X-Men  movies, which is something that looks completely different from other X-Men movies. Rather than another film that appears to sell giant stakes and impossible odds, this looks like a dark western that just happens to involve a few mutants.

I really enjoy putting my reviews together.  I honestly wish I could delve deeper into certain movies, but alas, I get incredibly busy and can sometimes only deal with movies to a briefer extent than I would prefer.  This is why I write these occasional "Brief Thoughts" posts on movies I have seen, as I want to at least offer some of my own perspective on them.  They may not be as polished, but I can at least get my opinions out there. The following "Brief Thoughts" focuses on the 29th Toho produced Godzilla film - Shin Godzilla . Shin Godzilla: 4 out of 5 I am a Godzilla fan. The 2014 Godzilla from Rogue One director Gareth Edwards opened my eyes up to just how big of a Godzilla  fan I was, as I realized just how much knowledge about the 60+ year franchise I held. Well, following that film (which I still very much enjoy), we now have Shin Godzilla , the latest incarnation from the original studio, Toho, which serves as a new reboot (the third for the...

The Accountant arrives this weekend in an attempt to have Ben Affleck live out the government agent dreams that Will Hunting could have achieved if things took a different turn. That's the only major release I managed to see this week (though I am defintely going to see Shin Godzilla  with my girlfriend and my father on Saturday). Plenty of new releases on home video to check out though. And be sure to take in the news posts and the really great podcasts we put up this week. Lots to enjoy there for sure.

It seems like I got hit by a bunch of new trailers all at the same time and while I would love to make separate posts, combining thoughts into one post seems like the most time efficient way to handle it all. That said, do take a look at what each new trailer for  Get Out, Sleepless, Jackie, and Patriot's Day has to offer. There's a lot of intriguing stuff here and some of these films may certainly deliver a lot to both be entertained (in varying degrees) by and talk about.
