Hello from Seattle. Tonight I begin two weeks of broadcasting Mariners games on 710 ESPN Seattle, the Mariners Radio Network, Sirius/XM satellite, and MLB.COM. Hope you'll tune in.
THE AVENGERS – Not since the Hanna-Barbera Laff-A-Lympics have more superstar characters gathered for one project.
DARK SHADOWS – Contains the two key elements in good filmmaking – adapting an old TV series and vampires.
CHERNOBYL DIARIES – Sequel to PRINCESS DIARIES.
BATTLESHIP – Yes, this is a movie based on a Hasbro toy but before you dismiss this movie – Rihanna’s in it.
HYSTERIA – Don’t feel left out, girls. A movie about your favorite toy is also coming out. Romcom on the invention of the vibrator.
MEN IN BLACK 3 – Taking advantage of the MIB craze by coming out with this sequel ten years after the last one. Hopefully not a rush job.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN – Will audiences accept a Spider-Man who doesn’t sing and dance? Hollywood is taking a big gamble.
MOONRISE KINGDOM – A Wes Anderson movie so you know it will be quirky and feature Bill Murray.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING – Five women dealing with pregnancy. So five sequels to KNOCKED UP.
THE DICTATOR – Another Sacha Baron Cohen send-up movie. So it could either be another BORAT or BRUNO.
THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL – Judi Densch, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkerson in a hotel in India. Date movie for every retirement village in Florida.
More tomorrow...
