Even though watching a movie in your pajamas on the couch at home is always a cozy experience, it never feels the same as seeing a movie at the theater. Going to the theater is something I've enjoyed for literally decades (jeez, that makes me sound old) and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
If you didn't know, summer is the biggest season for movies. This year I feel like we had some OK ones, but nothing too spectacular. But even though summer is coming to an end, don't give up on going to see an awesome film! I have listed 11 movies that are scheduled to come out between now and the end of the year that look really good!
1. "The LEGO Ninjago Movie" (Sep. 22nd).
Not gonna lie, I'm as much of a fan of LEGOs now as I was a young kid. It's because of that and how "The LEGO Movie" and "The LEGO Batman Movie" were both hilarious that I'm excited for this next edition to the LEGO movie franchise.
2. "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" (Sep. 22nd).
Why do I think this movie will be AMAZING? Here's why: Elton John, Channing Tatum, Colin Firth, and Halle Berry. I don't know what other reason you'd need.
3. "Blade Runner 2049" (Oct. 6th).
I'm mostly excited for this film as I'm a HUGE sucker for both Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford. Although I am a bit taken back by the almost three hour run-time... but hey, more bang for your buck, right?
4. "Only the Brave" (Oct. 20th).
Who didn't want to be a firefighter when they were growing up? They are real life superheroes, and I will always have the utmost respect for anyone in that field. I hope this movie does them justice.
5. "Jigsaw" (Oct. 27th).
I'm not all for intense and gory films, but this series is like a train-wreck and I can't just look away.
6. "Thor: Ragnarok" (Nov. 3rd).
I don't even know where to start with this movie. The color scheme and 80s vibe they're going with is almost working better than Chris Hemsworth's dashing new hairdo! Plus, we get Jeff Goldblum, Idris Elba, Cate Blanchett, and Tom Hiddleston. I'm so ready.
7. "Murder on the Orient Express" (Nov. 10th).
This just reminds me of "Clue" and "The Polar Express" in one movie. Now if only it could have multiple endings with Tom Hanks as the conductor... I can wish...
8. "Justice League" (Nov. 17th).
Honestly, I'm not overly hyped up for this movie (MCU for the win), but I am interested in seeing it. I really want to know how they're going to introduce three pretty important characters (The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg) while doing their characters backgrounds justice.
9. "Coco" (Nov. 22nd).
It's a Disney-Pixar movie revolving around music and skeletons. Yes, please.
10. "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" (Dec. 15th).
It's "Star Wars." Literally the biggest movie franchise of all time. How can anyone not be excited? Will we find out who Rey's parents are? What is the fate of Leia? Who is exactly is Snoke? What the hell does Luke mean when he says, "It's time for the Jedi to end."
I have been dying waiting for this movie to come out for two years... we're so close, yet still so far away.
11. "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" (Dec. 20th).
I can't get enough of Jack Black or Dwayne Johnson, so this movie is a huge blessing to me. Thank you, Columbia Pictures, for casting these two in this film. Although I don't think even those two can live up to Robin Williams's role.
Hopefully I find time to see all of these while they're in theater! I know for sure I'll be seeing one of these at least a few times in the first week it's out... *cough* "Star Wars" *cough*.
