<p dir="ltr">Here is what I am looking forward to: (Note: Release dates may change)</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>January</b><br>
Escape Room - A horror based on the popular escape room trend... that I think Saw did back in the early 2000s? I'll still watch.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A Dog's Way Home - From the same author who wrote A Dog's Life. Looks like a cute family movie</p>
<p dir="ltr">Glass - The third movie in the Unbreakable Trilogy. Looks like Shyamalan will finally complete the story.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>February</b><br>
The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part - Another silly animated movie from LEGO with daffy humour and fun times.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Happy Death Day 2U - I loved the first one so I can't wait to see where they go for the sequel.</p>
<p dir="ltr">How to train your Dragon: The Hidden World - I love Toothless and can't wait to see how they wrap up the series.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>March</b><br>
Captain Marvel - We finally get to see the story about the MCU superhero that will help lay a beating against Thanos</p>
<p dir="ltr">Us - The next Jordan Peele thriller that may or may not connect to Get Out according to internet rumours</p>
<p dir="ltr">Dumbo - Tim Burton looks like he has another hit on his hand with his take on the classic Disney movie.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>April</b><br>
Shazam! - I have been wating for this movie for a while as my sci-fi stories originally followed the plot of a kid who became an adult hero. Looks fun.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Pet Sematary - I disn't know if I wanted to see this remake, but with John Lithgow in it as Crandall, I am sold.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Avengers: Endgame - We finally see our heroes thump Thanos! Or do we?</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>May</b><br>
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Stop messing with his dog, please... and him.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aladdin - Could be great, could suck... I'll have to watch to find out.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Godzilla: King of the Monsters - My favorite monster fights other monsters and I am gloriously happy</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>June</b><br>
Dark Phoenix - Any chance to see Fassbender as Magneto again, I'm in.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Men in Black: International - The Trailer looked like a lot of fun</p>
<p dir="ltr">Toy Story 4 - If they keep up the trend, should be a fun, emotional story.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>July</b><br>
Spider-Man: Far From Home - I'll keep watching any MCU superhero movie.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Lion King - The classic reboot looks phenomenal.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>August</b><br>
Hobbs and Shaw - Fast and Furious spin off... I'll do it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Dora the Explorer - My kids loved the movie in their younger days, as did I, so I'll watch the live action one</p>
<p dir="ltr">Artemis Fowl - Please don't screw up this adaptation of the book.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Angel has Fallen - The third movie in the Gerard Butler Olympus as Fallen secret service agent action series.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>September</b><br>
It: Chapter Two - After the great job they did with the first one, I can't wait for them to end the story</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>October</b><br>
Joker - One of many planned Joker movies... I am not sure because from what I have seen I am not impressed on how they are handling my favorite comic book character.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Zombieland 2 - Apparently this sequel is on its way. Should be fun.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>November</b><br>
Frozen 2 - Where will the go for the sequel? Hopefully somewhere fun!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>December</b><br>
Star Wars: Episode IX - There is no pleasing fans after Last Jedi, but I am anxious to see how they wrap up the Skywalker storyline.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Happy viewing!</p>
Trent, Alison, Anisha & Samanthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15157911641011187874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156418311367321002.post-56816292748217921602019-01-01T09:25:00.001-06:002019-01-01T09:25:13.757-06:002018 Movie Reviews<p dir="ltr">I rarely post on here, so maybe that's my New Years Resolution.<br>
I watched 192 films this year; not all from this year, and some were short films (an hour or less)</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Here are my top 10 movie reviews for 2018.</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">1. <b>Crazy Rich Asians </b>- My favorite movie for 2018. It was funny, had great actors/actresses in it, and told a story that could be cliche at times, but in the end, it was all to put a smile on my face. I loved everything about it, and went on the emotional journey the director wanted. </p>
<p dir="ltr">2. <b>Searching </b>- I found this movie very intense and held my interest the whole time. John Cho gave a great performance as a father searching for his missing daughter. Lots of easter eggs scattered throughout to hint at the ending, but they still managed to throw in a twist that I should have seen coming, but didn't. Also, having it shot on cell phones/computer camera throughout was well done.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. <b>Won't you be my neighbor</b> - A beautiful documentary about Fred Rogers and how his idea for a kids show would change the lives of so many people as he took on tough topics right from the first episode and never talked down to kids, acknowledging their fears, hopes, and dreams.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4. <b>Avengers Infinity War</b> - I became a Marvel fan after watching Thor and have stayed with the MCU ever since. I love how everything led to this movie and united the characters, put forth a tragic, sociopathic (take that Netflix) villain I could relate to, and then have the balls to kill off most of the main characters at the end. Such a fun time at the movies.</p>
<p dir="ltr">5. <b>Black Panther</b> - After the Civil War movie, Black Panther became one of my newest favorite Marvel Heroes. I love African Culture, so for a super hero movie to be set there, I was loving it. Great action, comedy, and they had BATTLE RHINOS!!! A great MCU solo movie.</p>
<p dir="ltr">6. <b>A Quiet Place</b> - I LOVE horror thrillers, and I especially love ones that take a risk in telling a new type of story. A Quiet Place did that by being quiet for most of it, raising my panic as the monsters got closer and closer. Plus, the underlying story of a Father's battle to save his family hit home for me.</p>
<p dir="ltr">7. <b>Tag </b>- I saw this with my best friend and what a joy this movie was. It wasn't life changing, but it was VERY funny and told how having fun with friends, and the bond of friendship, can last a lifetime. Just an overall funny movie.</p>
<p dir="ltr">8. <b>Mary Poppins Returns</b> - The sequel did the original justice and had a lot of new concepts to build on from the original. I love how they stayed true to the stylization of the first movie and even the plot pace. The music was great, and any review that says they were not memorable songs hasn't taken a couple more listens because most were memorable. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a gem and I will keep seeing any movie he's in, especially when he's singing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">9. <b>Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse</b> - This was a fun Spider-Man movie that brought in extra Spider-Characters from the multiverse and had some fun with it. The Animation was unique and the story was compelling.</p>
<p dir="ltr">10. <b>Hereditary</b> - I debated about adding this horror movie to my list. It was extremely good, but so disturbing, I don't think I could watch it again. Great performances, terrible events, horrific and disturbing moments fueled with raw emotion. The ending was so messed up, I had to sit in my car after the movie for 10 minutes and think about my life and faith. Any movie that can mess me up that much is worth the rating.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Honorable Mentions:</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Alpha<br>
Christopher Robin<br>
Sicario: Day of the Soldado<br></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Worst Movies of 2018:</b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b><i>The Nun</i></b> - How can you take a part of the Conjuring universer and make it not scary? Hell, Annabelle had scary moments and the doll didn't move.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b><i>Annihilation</i></b> - How do you take a great idea and make it boring? And end the movie with a dance off? Sorry, Guardians of the Galaxy did it first. I know a lot of people loved this movie and rated it high in 2018, but I was not impressed at all.<br>

<br />
<b>10 - Lego Batman Movie</b> - Because Batman.<br />

<br />
<b>28</b> - <b>The Dark Tower</b> - I am a HUGE fan of Stephen King's book series, and to know what they're doing with it and the fact that they've cast Idris Elba in the lead as Roland make me VERY anxious, and scared, for this movie.<br />
<br />
<b>September</b><br />

Happy Viewing all!Trent, Alison, Anisha & Samanthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15157911641011187874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156418311367321002.post-79897033441046542602017-01-01T16:55:00.002-06:002017-01-01T16:55:33.927-06:002016 Movie Reviews<br />
<div>
I saw 30 new releases this year. Most were big box office hits, so I won't get to the Oscar/Golden Globe nominated movies for a while. Many of you may disagree with some, but there are biases for my choices that I may explain in my top 10 or so.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<ol>
<li><b>Rogue One</b> - I saw it twice and loved the story it told, including the last 20 minutes when all hell broke loose and you see Darth Vader rage against the Rebels. A great bridging movie to A New Hope, and, as a Sci-fi writer, a wonder to behold.</li>
<li><b>Pete's Dragon - </b>I never saw the orginial, and my girls got this one for Xmas, so it was a nice surprise and told a wonderful story about Pete and his Dragon Elliot. Highly recommend.</li>
<li><b>The Jungle Book - </b>My favourite Disney movie of all time, and I loved how they did it, even if I wasn't totally a fan of Walken singing "Wanna be like you."</li>
<li><b>Captain America: Civil War - </b>This was just plain fun that was great to watch. Such great story telling, humour, action, and the introduction of Black Panther was awesome.</li>
<li><b>Deadpool - </b>Outlanding, Irreverant, action-packed, funny, and what the fans wanted.</li>
<li><b>Zootopia</b> - Great story telling with a not so obvious message that kids can really get.</li>
<li><b>Finding Dory</b> - Just short of being as great as Finding Nemo, but still a great watch with lots of humour and emotion.</li>
<li><b>Moana - </b>I am a sucker for any movie that shows hawaiian/polynesian history and adventure, and for Disney to do this... I was in love the whole movie. Great songs too.</li>
<li><b>Star Trek Beyond - </b>Great action, humour, and a solid Trek story that fans like me can appreciate.</li>
<li><b>Ghostbusters - </b>Any movie that can have my girls in awe of the characters and loving the story is a hit for me. Too much bad press on this, mostly from fanboys upset at it being girls, that wasn't warranted.</li>
</ol>
Here are my final 20. Only one real dud in the bunch. I'll comment on the odd one here and there.<br /><ol>
<li><b>10 Cloverfield Lane - </b>A nice surprise. John Goodman is an acting god.</li>
<li><b>Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice</b> - Yes, I liked it. But I am a Batman fan at heart and I liked Man of Steel, so this one was good for me. But watch the Ultimate Version, much better.</li>
<li><b>Independence Day: Resurgence</b></li>
<li><b>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of Shadows</b></li>
<li><b>X-Men: Apocalypse</b></li>
<li><b>Dr Strange</b></li>
<li><b>The Conjuring 2 - </b>Not as scary as the original, but still creepy.</li>
<li><b>The Witch</b> - A nice surprise as well. Starts slow, then the terror gets worse... Bad goat.</li>
<li><b>Central Intelligence</b></li>
<li><b>Suicide Squad</b> - Yes, I did like this one as well. Leto's Joker was ok, but Smith's Deadshot and Robbie's Harley Quinn were just awesome.</li>
<li><b>London Has Fallen</b></li>
<li><b>Secret Life of Pets</b></li>
<li><b>Batman: Killing Joke</b> - The first half was ok, regarding Batgirl, but when the 2nd half came, that was when it got very good. It's hard to take an iconic graphic novel like that and turn it into a movie, but they did a decent job.</li>
<li><b>Sing</b></li>
<li><b>Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children - </b>They changed the ending from the book more than what I was comfortable with, so it wasn't a total let down, but it could have been better</li>
<li><b>Midnight Special</b> - A neat surprise about a "special" child with powers wanted by the government. The ending was pretty neat.</li>
<li><b>Storks</b></li>
<li><b>Angry Birds Movie</b></li>
<li><b>Hardcore Henry - </b>It started pretty good, then got worse. Great concept, but didn't work as well as it could have.</li>
</ol>
<b style="font-weight: bold;">Total DUD: Sharknado 4 - </b>The first two were fun, but they should have stopped.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>

We then went to Calgary for the Calgary Comic Expo. It was a great experience, and I got to meet some celebrities, but I didn't sell much. I don't think I will return. We also celebrated Anisha's 9th Bday there and she, Ali, and Sami spent time with Ashley and Family exploring Calgary and the nearby mountains.</div>

<br />
I had Spring Break off with the girls and found I was still very busy with swim lessons and the lot.<br />
<br />
Ali ran 2 Guiding sleepovers; one for the Brownies at the start of April, and one last weekend for the Sparks. Needless to say, she was tired after all that.<br />
<br />
After a return to work for a bit, Ali and I took off for Vancouver for a vacation and to see 2cellos in concert.<br />

Now, after another short work week back, the family is off to Calgary where I will be selling my books at the Calgary Fan Expo.

I didn't get to see a lot, but here are my ratings for what I did see. Yeah, I am missing a few of the dramas that will be major Oscar contenders, but so be it.<br>
<br>
33 2015 movie releases seen. One gets a special rating outside of the reviews because it is both part of my top 10 and beyond it. Not the best, but still the best in my heart, so I excluded it from review to focus on the others.<br>
<br>
<strong><em><u>SPECIAL RATING</u></em></strong><br>
<strong>Star Wars: Episode 7 - The Force Awakens</strong> - I have been anticipating this movie for many years. It was great to see some of the original cast back, and the new cast works very well. Harrison Ford is on the mark as Solo, and Boyega as Finn and Ridley as Rey were great. Isaacs as Poe was an awesome surprise, and BB-8 is a great, fun new droid to watch. Filled with lots of throwbacks to the original movie trilogy, and great action and humour, this was one worth the wait. I can't forget Driver's performance as Kylo Ren. So much to look forward to in the next few movies. <br>

<br>
<br>
<strong><em><u>TOP 10</u></em></strong><br>
<strong>1. Straight Outta Compton</strong> - My pick of the year. Great casting, great story telling, raw emotion, great music, and wonderful acting. It made me feel connected to my love of rap all over again, and made me appreciate the role Easy-E had with NWA. I hope this movie wins some Oscars.<br>

<br>
<br>
<strong>2. Jurassic World</strong> - So much anticipation and a great payoff! This movie breathed new life into the franchise with a great cast, fun action, and a final battle that was made for the ages. Oh, and the Raptor patrol lead by Chris Pratt was the bomb.<br>
<br>
<strong>3. Inside Out</strong> - So, if emotions had emotions, then this movie is a reflection of itself in a strange way. Touching, funny, and great for the whole family. <br>
<strong></strong><br>
<strong>4. Fast and Furious 7</strong> - A great addition to the series with some killer action. And, of course, a touching send off to Paul Walker at the end of the movie. <br>
<br>
<strong>5. Ant-man</strong> - Such great fun for a marvel superhero movie. Great special effects and a wonderful addition to the MCU.<br>
<br>
<strong>6. The Avengers: Age of Ultron</strong> - Lots of great action in this one. Hulk vs Ironman in a great brawl. <br>
<strong></strong><br>
<strong>7. Kingsman: The Secret Service</strong> - Fun, outrageous, and a great action film. Samuel L. Jackson's lisp excluded.<br>
<br>
<strong>8. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation</strong> - So much great action (that motorbike chase scene... damn!) and fun. I will keep watching these movies as long as Tom Cruise is involved.<br>
<br>
<strong>9. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 2 - </strong>A great conclusion that did better at telling the story than the book did, well for some parts. Nice to see it wrap up.<br>
<br>
<strong>10. Monkey Kingdom</strong> - I am a sucker for nature movies, and this was a fun one for the whole family. Silly, fun, and a great learning experience for my girls.<br>
<br>
<u><strong><em>The Rest</em></strong></u><br>
<strong>Spectre</strong> - Bond is always great, and even though this was a let down from Skyfall, it was still some great action and neat twists.<br>
<br>
<strong>Pixels </strong>- I found this fun and don't understand the critics reviews of it. I am not an Adam Sandler fan, but I liked this one. Great throwback to my old gaming days.<br>
<br>
<strong>Tomorrowland</strong> - I actually liked this one. A fun cast, great new ideas, and neat ending. Some good CGI to enhance the futuristic look.<br>
<br>
<strong>Cinderella</strong> - Highly anticipated movie for my girls. Very well done, with a great cast.<br>
<br>
<strong>Mad Max: Fury Road</strong> - This is toping the list of a lot of movie reviews, but I don't see the appeal for top space. Yeah, it was good and bonkers, but it wasn't the best of the year.<br>
<br>
<strong>Terminator Genisys</strong> - I enjoyed seeing Arnold back in this one. Emilia Clarke was great as Sarah Connor and the plot and action were fun. Not as bad as many critics rated it.<br>
<br>
<strong>Crimson Peak</strong> - Creepy, yes. Scary, no. Del Toro's visually stunning thriller was neat to watch, but in the end, was not as scary as it could have been.<br>
<br>
<strong>Home</strong> - Can I come into the out now? A nice surprise of a kids movie. Jim Parsons as the manic alien was damn near type casting.<br>
<strong></strong><br>
<strong>Hotel Transylvania 2</strong> - My kids liked it, and it wasn't as good as the first one, but it was still fun.<br>
<strong></strong><br>
<strong>San Andreas</strong> - AKA How many modes of transportation can The Rock use in this action movie? It was decent, not great, and some fantastic special effects.<br>
<br>
<strong>Beeba Boys</strong> - An independent Indo-Canadian movie about Indo-Canadian gangs in Vancouver. My childhood friend Steve was in this movie. Decent action and fun, it was a gritty look at the gang wars in Vancouver.<br>
<br>
<strong>The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - </strong>Fun spy movie based on the original TV show. Nice action and good humour.<br>
<br>
<strong>Project Almanac</strong> - I love me a good time travel movie, and this was decently done.<br>
<br>
<strong>Hitman 2: Agent 47 - </strong>Didn't see the first one, but I liked the action in this one.<br>
<br>
<strong>The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water</strong> - Not as manic as the first one... I could concentrate of this better and enjoy the silliness.<br>
<br>
<strong>Shaun the Sheep Movie</strong> - My kids liked this one. Basically no dialogue and all claymation. Not too bad.<br>
<br>
<strong>Minions - </strong>A spin off of Despicable Me, it was cute and fun for the kids, but I was not as impressed as they were.<br>
<br>
<strong>Fantastic Four</strong> - Not as bad as the critics panned it out to be, but not that great either. I was a little miffed that it took them aver half the movie before we saw their powers in action.<br>
<strong></strong><br>
<strong>Area 51 - </strong>A neat plot for a found footage movie that takes place on the UFO hotspot. Neat concepts, but weak sauce in the final act when not everything was revealed.<br>
<br>
<strong>Unfriended</strong> - A great concept for a "found-footage-like" horror movie using internet chat. Didn't make it up to the potential it could have, but it kept me interested.<br>
<br>
<u><strong><em>The Bottom 3</em></strong></u><br>
<strong>Taken 3</strong> - Much different than the first two as this was more an action movie than a gritty thriller. A big let down, but Liam Neeson still rocks.<br>
<br>
<strong>Sharknado 3</strong> - The first two were B-movie fun, but this was grasping at straws. Yes, it was intentionally bad, but it was forcing the badness this time.<br>
<br>
<strong>Chappie</strong> - So much potential for this movie. The villain casting was questionable, and the flow was strange, but in the end, a let down from Blomkamp.<br>
<strong></strong><br>
<br>
I mostly saw the main releases this year. I need to diversify a bit. Hard to see the outliers in Prince Albert, but I try.

Finally returning to normal with my family, I released book 4 in my Galactic Odyssey Series. There was some local news on me. Pretty cool.<br />

My other new book release was recently: The Week the Tooth Fairy got sick. I hired a local artist to do the illustrations and I released it at the end of October. I am very excited about this as my first sales of the book start Nov 7 & 8th.<br />

Halloween time again. For the school Halloween party, Ali dressed in my old Venturers uniform, Samantha was a unicorn, and Anisha a cat. Much fun had by all. I had a rehearsal that night so I couldn't go.<br />
<br />

Then Halloween night, the girls got a good haul of candy. Samantha ended the night sick and throwing up, so she stayed home Nov 1 to recover. Sucks to be the sick kid on Halloween.<br />

<br />
A few theatre adventures for our family.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>My show that I'm directing, Murderous Crossing, an interactive murder mystery, opens Nov 26-28 at the local Travelodge.</li>
<li>Anisha is back in Broadway North and this year the play is Shrek Jr. It runs Dec 4-12.</li>
<li>Samantha is back on stage in 2016 when she plays a Woodland Creature in Rivier Academy's production of Alice in Wonderland. This will be her first show where I am not involved (we did Anne of Green Gables together in the spring). She's excited, and understandably a little nervous.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Alison has gone back to work at Physio with the local health region after a couple of years working on the Kaizan Project. She leads two Guiding groups this year: Anisha's Brownies and Samantha's Sparks. On top of coaching the Bunnies Ringette on Sundays, she is a busy lady.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As mentioned, Anisha and Samantha are doing some theatre, guiding, and Ringette. Not as busy as other families, but still busy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Keiko, our newest puppy, is almost a year old, growing big, and being a bit of a goof. She's almost 50lbs, but very lovable to the girls, when they leave her alone. Daxx is 11 and starting to show some signs of older age as she tries to keep up with Keiko, but then her joints ache soon after.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Always a busy time in our house. Happy November all. We'll chat again in December!</div>
<div>

In early June, I started back into my Convention mode by attending the Saskatoon Blitz. I had fun last year, but this year was slower and filled with some pretty bad controversy. I didn't witness the incident, but I don't think I will be returning next year. Anisha came down to help out and we got some fun pics.</div>

I think one of the reasons Keiko calmed down was perhaps after she got spayed. This is her shame-picture during recovery when she had to wear a cone.</div>

In April, Alison and I began looking at puppies/dogs on the local SPCA website and found some that were pretty cute. Then, at the end of April, we saw this little pup named Sienna. I paid a visit and she loved me. I brought in Daxx and the girls and she got along well with them all. So, we brought her home for a one week trial and she soon stole all our hearts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We officially adopted her on Monday, May 4th, and named her <b>Keiko,</b> keeping with our Star Trek name tradition (Keiko O'Brian from Deep Space 9). She is getting along great with the family, a bit of a chewer, and like to wake at 5:45am and whine to get out of her crate. So, she's a typical puppy.</div>
