Ryan Reynolds dropped two new videos about “Deadpool 3” on his YouTube channel. He asked Hugh Jackman to play Wolverine one more time and he said yes. They answered how they were going to handle Wolverine’s death in “Logan” and what to expect in the new movie. This announcement shouldn’t be a surprise anyone who watched the extended end-credits in “Deadpool 2.”

When I saw #BoycottWomanKing trending on Twitter, I wanted to see “The Woman King” even more. Whenever someone on social media tells you to boycott a movie, you should probably see the movie. You might be missing out on something special. “The Woman King” is less about the slave trade and more about the bonds of love.

“Dirty Harry” with Clint Eastwood was a controversial movie when it came out in 1971. A homicide detective takes the law into his own hands to stop a serial killer who got off on a legal technicality.
A different scene from that movie inspired a real life kidnapping five years later. The serial killer hijacks a school bus with the driver and children on board to get away from Dirty Harry. The school bus crashes inside the entrance to a rock quarry.
The Chowchilla kidnapping was—and still is—the largest kidnapping in U.S. history.
Why is that kidnapping still relevant today? The third and final kidnapper got paroled from prison and came out $100 million US richer than he went in.

Forty years after Steven Spielberg’s “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” came out, I saw the movie for the first time. “E.T.” is back on the big screen in IMAX theaters for a limited time. Between “Bullet Train” a few weeks ago and “Wakanda Forever” in November, old blockbusters are the new blockbusters. I figured out why I didn’t watch “E.T.” as a 12-year-old boy when it first came out in the summer of 1982. “E.T.” was boring.

“Bullet Train” is a movie about good luck, bad luck, and karma. Brad Pitt, a.k.a., “Ladybug,” is stuck on a bullet train with a half-dozen assassins from Tokyo to Kyoto in Japan. But he isn’t the star of this movie. In fact, the breakout star isn’t even human.

Jordan Peele’s “Nope” is one of the weirdest, weird ass UFO movie I’ve ever seen. The weirdest thing in that movie was Fry’s Electronics. Why would a zombie retailer that closed in February 2021 be in a UFO movie in July 2022?

As an AMC Theatres shareholder, I attended three advance screenings in the last six weeks: “Moonfall,” “Jackass Forever,” and “The Batman.” I watched the movies days before they opened to the public. Should you become an AMC shareholder to join the Investor Connect program for this perk?
