Gladiator 2 Trailer

I know it’s rare for me to post a trailer for something that isn’t for a Star Wars film/series but this is a special case. Gladiator is one of my favorite movies so I was surprised to learn of a second film. I’ll admit it’s not a movie I thought needed a sequel because the other one was so great. However, after watching this trailer I’m feeling different. Check out the Gladiator 2 trailer.

It looks really good. I’m glad that Ridley Scott is back as the director. I also noticed Connie Nielsen is reprising her role as Lucilla and Paul Mescal will play her son, Lucius. The film appears to focus on Lucius several years after the death of Maximus.

It’s also exciting to see Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal are in the film. Hans Zimmer will not be back as the composter but Harry Gregson-Williams is a good choice.

What did you think of the trailer?

Fantasy Month (2024) – Underworld

These movies are also great selections for Halloween month. Vampires and lycan (aka werewolves) are just as easily fantasy as they are horror. April snuck up on me fast so I had to make a quick decision as to the theme for Fantasy month. I hadn’t watched the Underworld movies in a while so it felt like a good time for a refresher.

There are five movies in the Underworld franchise. As I did for the Lethal Weapon movies, instead of doing them all individually, I am going to discuss them in a couple of groups. I will explain in a bit.

Before I go into each film, one of the things I like most about all of them is the pacing. They don’t stretch out the slower moments needed to move the plot along. The action almost feels non-stop which helps keep my attention.

Comedy Month (2024) – Donner and Gibson

The original intention was to go with a Mel Gibson comedy theme but then I realized that Richard Donner also directed all the movies I picked. If you are a movie aficionado like I am, you may have already guessed the films on this list this month. As I’ve said before, comedies are my favorite genre of film so picking just a handful is always difficult to do. However, I’m very satisfied with this month’s selections.

Drama Month (2024) – Based on True Events

In Monthly Movie Theme, Movies

The movie selections for Drama Month are those that are inspired by or are based on true events. I’m always a sucker for biopics and movies of significant historical figures and events. Again, I will write short reviews about each film but I will try to keep each review brief. Last month I may have been a bit loquacious.

I finished my watchlist early so this post is coming to you just before the end of the month. I do not anticipate fitting any more movies in before Comedy Month starts.
