Mark Vader Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The explosive summer-like month of March has come to a close, although the impact it's had on the box office is still being felt. Now the month of April closes out the Spring season of movies with nowhere near the potential box office firepower as last month. Which is a good thing, since the month of May will be primed to shatter more records when kick starts the Summer Season. Until then, there is a wide offering of family friendly films, more dramas and some comedy as well. That doesn't mean that April is completely devoid of any big money makers. There is one particular film that you cannot seem to avoid with all of the advertising it's been giving the past 2 months. Universal continues it's fast car over-the-top action series, with it's 7th sequel, "The Fate of the Furious". When a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of terrorism and a betrayal of those closest to him, the crew face trials that will test them as never before. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron, Scott Eastwood, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Nathalie Emmanuel, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, with Kurt Russell, and Helen Mirren. That last name is not a typo. Emma Watson and Tom Hanks star in, "The Circle". A woman lands a dream job at a powerful tech company called the Circle, only to uncover a nefarious agenda that will affect the lives of her friends, family and that of humanity. Also starring John Boyega, Patton Oswalt, Karen Gillan, & Bill Paxton. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine & Alan Arkin star in the re-make, "Going In Style". Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, three lifelong pals risk it all by embarking on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money. Also starring Ann-Margaret, Joey King, John Ortiz, Matt Dillon & Christopher Lloyd. Christian Bale stars in, "The Promise". Set during the last days of the Ottoman Empire, The Promise follows a love triangle between Michael, a brilliant medical student, the beautiful and sophisticated Ana, and Chris - a renowned American journalist based in Paris. Also starring Oscar Issac, Charlotte Le Bon, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Angela Sarafyan, Jean Reno & James Cromwell. In "Free Fire", Set in Boston in 1978, a meeting in a deserted warehouse between two gangs turns into a shootout and a game of survival. Starring Sharlto Copley, Brie Larson, Armie Hammer, Cillian Murphy & Sam Riley. Disney continues it's Nature series with "Born in China". Venturing into the wilds of China, "Born in China" captures intimate moments with a panda bear and her growing cub, a young golden monkey who feels displaced by his baby sister, and a mother snow leopard struggling to raise her two cubs.

DC Tom Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 ...Set during the last days of the Ottoman Empire,... Well, there's something you never hear. How do you even pitch that script? "So here's the story: in the waning days of Mehmet VI's reign, just after the battle of Sarkaya..." "Thank you. Next." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"So here's the story: in the waning days of Mehmet VI's reign, just after the battle of Sarkaya..." "Thank you. Next." Actually, it is the Star Wars plot set back in time instead of the future.

Well when you get old many times you cannot remember what you had for breakfast but can remember clearly what happened in past; since you are old enough to live in Ottoman era it must be like a memory flash.
