FWIW, PC is different than representation. People often confuse the two. But here's what I'm looking forward to.
-Bad Boys for Life - Honestly, will wait for this one to be a rental, but they've been trying to get this off the ground for years. Smith and Lawrence have great chemistry
-Dolittle - It looks cheesy but something that my kids will enjoy and Downey has a great presence that can make nearly anything in he's in watchable.
-Downhill -Will Farrell is hit or miss these days but the trailer looks good and this is a remake of a 2014 Swedish film.
-The Call of the Wild -I love the book and love seeing books I enjoy adapted to film. If they're bad, I still have the book, lol.
-Onward -Pixar. Tom Holland. Chris Pratt. Looks great and deals with themes that should touch the adults.
-A Quiet Place Part II -Loved the first one, really looking forward to the second.
-Mulan -Looks great, even if they won't be singing "I'll Make A Man Out Of You."
-Black Widow -Another MCU movie with a great cast. Really looking forward to this one. MCU has been pretty consistent for me as far as cinema enjoyment!
-Soul -Pixar again. Again, looks great and deals with those heavy themes that Pixar's never afraid of.
-In the Heights -I like musicals and this one is based on Lin-Manuel Miranda's first big hit before Hamilton. It's directed by Jon M. Chu, who did a great job with Crazy Rich Asians. Should be good!
-Top Gun: Maverick -I've been waiting for this one for a long time. I know that Tony Scott was working on this before he killed himself (RIP) and I thought that this project was just cursed. This better include some Kenny Loggins or I will riot.
-Free Guy -This almost looks like a cross between Lego Movie, Truman Show, and who knows what else. It looks entertaining enough though.
-Ghostbusters: Afterlife -This is what a Ghostbusters reboot should be. You don't need to forget the past to create a new team. Allowing both to live side by side in a soft reboot is what was needed. Hopefully the film is good.
-Tenet -We all should watch just about anything by Christopher Nolan. He's earned that. Fun fact, the first movie my middle son saw was Inception when he was about 3 weeks old. Don't worry, it was a drive in. I'm not sadistic enough to ruin the movie going experience for other people. He didn't sleep through the film but he just stared at it. Maybe he thought he was dreaming.
-Jungle Cruise -While the first Pirates of the Caribbean films were great, the sequels fell of the railed. The Rock and Emily Blunt are always fun to watch and Jungle Cruise is one of my favorite Disney Parks rides. Fun fact, the best Jungle Cruise ride is at Hong Kong Disneyland, hands down.
-Bill & Ted Face the Music -Wild Stallions. 'Nuff said.
-Last Night in SoHo -I don't know much about this film but it's directed by Edgar Wright who's earned my viewing.
-BIOS -Futuristic Tom Hanks film. Jury's out but most Tom Hanks films gain some interest from me but I only watch about half of them.
-Death on the Nile -Kenneth Branagh once again directs his return as Hercule Poirot after Orient Express and once again, he brings along a great cast for this Agatha Christie mystery.
-Eternals -Another MCU film. This one will be launching a ton of new characters and they have a pretty big cast. Should be very interesting to see where the MCU goes next with their big films post Avengers.
-Godzilla vs. Kong -My family has enjoyed each entry in this series so far. Are they great? Nope. But they are fun to watch. That's all I ask. My middle son is obsessed with Godzilla. After watching the first film in this series, he was on Wikipedia learning everything he can about Godzilla.
-Raya and the Last Dragon -Still a mystery but it's Disney Animation, which has earned my eyeballs.
-Dune -I'll be honest, I never got into book or the David Lynch film but Denis Villeneuve is another filmmaker that earns my eyes.
-Coming 2 America -Eddie Murphy seems to have some electricity bills to pay or something since he's doing more nostalgic work than he has ever done. Let's hope this goes well. Original is a classic.
