The Beekeeper looks good. Apparently Statham's 5th film in a year.
Argyle looks interesting - the cast seems promising.
Also Bikeriders, Jodie Comer headlines a promising cast.
With the dreck that has been clogging the cinema for the past month or so, I don't know why these are not out already.
Especially Beekeeper.
If there is anybody left here who still watches film in Cinema, and are not illiterate, what are you hoping to see?
From 2023:

Deadpool 3, if I ever get around to watching Deadpool 2.
Dune: Part 2, if I ever get around to watching Dune: Part 1.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Kingdom, if I ever get around to watching Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Borderlands, if it's not a woke piece of crap.
Beetlejuice 2, if it's not a woke piece of crap.
Joker 2, if it's not a woke piece of crap.
I won't be watching Gladiator 2, since it stars Pedro Pascal and Denzel Washington, so obviously that's a woke piece of crap since we're just not even going to bother with any historical accuracy anymore.

Yes, Ghostbusters is keeping the cast from Afterlife, not the Woke bimbos.
Including McKenna Grace. Who is also cast with Thomasin McKenzie in Perfect for next year, even tho it's an Olivia Wilde work.

Hollyweird is almost dead, everything seems to be a prequel or sequel or re-imagining or a remake.
I don't know much on Borderlands but SixString explained it as a game so maybe it can be worth checking
Won't be watching much maybe Kraven the Hunter its one of those comicbook things but at least its a new unknown property, the Japan anime version of Lord of the Rings The War of the Rohirrim could be worth a look I know its been done but the animation thing is different. 2024 looks like another dead year for cinema, its all stuff we have seen before and maybe South Korea or Germany can fill the gap and show some movies in the theater but I don't they have the connections to export and culturally they don't sell like the USA did. I don't think everyone likes subtitles, there is also an opportunity for US indie film makers to step up as the old Hollywood pervert system dies.

I should probably be very clear here... I fully expect Borderlands to be bad and/or be woke.
The Super Mario Bros Move success (and my genuine, unironic love for the 90's movie) notwithstanding, almost every video game adaptation in history has been terrible. For decades it was because of reasons such as low budgets, and very little source material to work with because of the primitive nature of the early games or adult people charged with making the movies based off of stuff they didn't understand and maybe they'd seen their nephew playing at a family party once or something. (Which, ironically, are all reasons why the 90's Super Mario Bros. movie was so good, and despite decades of it being trashed online it's finally finding its long deserved cult following).
But recently they've been getting big budgets and name actors to do video game movies, but they've been filling it with their agenda that they've been shoving down everybody's throat for the last decade. That's fully what I expect Borderlands to be when it's released by Lionsgate this year.
If there's a single race or gender swap in that movie, I'm out.
There's no need for any of that shit taking place. The cast was already diverse, and not to the game's detriment. I've only ever played Borderlands 2, but I consider that game a Masterpiece. Everything about it was good. If pressed to give it one negative comment the only thing I could come up with is that it was too addictive.
If they swap the race or gender of one single character in this movie the only thing that is "signalling" is that the entire production is going to be a woke disaster.
But yeah... outside of a video game ripoff, the only movies that even look jokingly interesting to me so far in 2024 are sequels (and sequels to reboots).
And will I ever even watch any of them? Maybe. But plenty of time has passed since Deadpool 2, Dune: Part 1 and Ghostbusters: Afterlife came out and I'm in no more of a hurry to see any of those now that they're getting sequels than I was when they originally came out.
My guess for Joker 2 is that even if they didn't wokeify it, it's just going to be a pointless sequel. I did mention at the time that the folks heading up DC should probably ditch their current Universe and start one that was more grounded in Joker's universe. I think that could have been really interesting. Certainly it would have been much more interesting than all of the super-expensive and CGI heavy flops they've been putting out ever since.
But since that's not going to happen, what story could you even tell in Joker 2 that needs to be told? Especially when we've already made it clear that Bruce Wayne is a kid and Batman isn't going to be a thing in that universe for decades.
There's REAL potential with that premise, especially after Phoenix's excellent performance in the first one. If they played the long game and really thought this out, the idea of seeing Joker installing an unstoppable crime base while poisoning an easily corruptible government in Gotham City long before Batman was even an idea in child Bruce's head could be captivating. But only if they followed through with it and got Joaquin on board to come back in about 15 to 20 years to reprise the role when Bruce becomes Batman and Joker finally gets an adversary worthy of him.
But let's not kid ourselves here. Nobody in Hollywood has that kind of patience or foresight to pull anything like this off. Spider-Man: No Way Home wasn't planned. It was luck. It was a fluke. It was marvelous... But it was also an accident. A rare case of the stars perfectly aligning. It is never going to happen again.
Let's just do what Disney would do, get Lady Gaga on board to give the plebs yet another version of Harley Quinn, put a chick in it and make her lame.
Let's just say, there's got to be a real reason to see it to get me to

Where to start.
Written by Glen Larsen. Stars Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, in an apparently adorable role, according to the trailer. She plays a director filming a copy of Edge of Tomorrow.
My favorite actor is Lee Majors, and he is in it - although this is the series that I didn't get to watch much.
Also Teresa Palmer, maybe in the Heather Thomas role?
Gosling is oft compared to Reynolds. Watching the trailer (a rarity for me), I got the sense that Fall Guy is channeling the Free Guy that Reynolds did. Wait.... Fall Guy... Free Guy ... Fall Guy... WTF? The Ryans are at it again.
Can't hardly wait for this one. I expect gobs of inside Hollywood funny. I'm jazzed now.

I like Emily Blunt. I've only ever seen her in Edge of Tomorrow, but she was great in that role. And another example of what a strong and sexy woman ACTUALLY is... a REAL role model for girls and women, unlike what the Hollywood Machine wants in a role model for women. Obviously, this is why her role in Edge of Tomorrow was completely ignored by them.
I also love the fact she came out and said whenever she's handed a role that says "strong independent female" or something very similar to that she just throws it in the trash bin because she knows that it's going to be boring.
I'll probably see this just because she's in it and JSF's description of it sounds intriguing. Obviously, she didn't find the script boring, and it passed her Woke-O-Meter.
I've never seen Gosling in anything before. I can't imagine that anybody could actually duplicate Ryan Reynolds.
Geez... How old is Lee Majors now? I don't think I've seen him in about 15 years. Didn't he play Christopher Chance's dad in an episode or two of Human Target? That might have been the last time I've seen him. (Don't get me started on that show... The first season was awesome, then they needlessly Girl Powered the 2nd season right into cancellation).
I didn't love Free Guy, but I know JSF and my old man did. I think my dad watched it like 5 times while showing it to other people. I liked it. I loved the first half or so but felt that they could have done more with the premise and kind of fumbled it.

What's funny is in 'Edge of Tomorrow' she played a strong female, she kept killing Cruise, plus she was cute in 'The Devil Wears Prada'. Yes I watched a chick flick! Is that so bad!
