An American pilot named
Peter Quill finds himself the
object of a manhunt after
stealing an orb coveted by the
villainous Ronan.” Um, yeah.
Bradley Cooper is voicing the
supporting character, a large
humanoid-like raccoon, so
this film has a chance to be
wildly bad, but with Vin Diesel
voicing another supporting
character what could really go
wrong?
Really, the biggest and most
awaited films of 2014 will appear
at the end of the year when
we see the final installments of
“Hunger Games” (which surprise
me every time by being actually
better than one would think) and
“The Hobbit” (meh).
Christopher Nolan, he-who-
is-exceedingly-talented (I’m
serious), will release his first
directorial/original film this
year since “The Dark Knight
Rises” with a sci-fi epic titled
“Interstellar.” Written by
Nolan as well, this film follows
a group of scientists who leave
Earth through a worm-hole in
order to save it from climate
change. Starring Matthew
McConaughey, Anne Hathaway,
Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine,
and a litany of other exceptional
character actors, this is the film
that should sit in the middle of
the July 4th weekend.
Unfortunately, we will have
to wait until a grey weekend in
November.
However, there are plenty
of loud, teeth-rattling CGI
effects waiting for us in store
this summer. Or as I like to title
it — the Summer of Sequels
to Reboots. As spring springs
eternal hope, there is a lot to give
us hope that this summer could
be better than most. Enjoy. And
cross your fingers.
Commentary that is
sometimes funny,
sometimes edgy and
always timely.
