Is this good?
Will this be good?
Every movie trailer answers or challenges those 2 questions. The ham-fisted rebuttal comes swiftly, however: no you don’t need to always see a movie to know it’s tank.

Do you really need to sit through a Michael Bay Transformers movie to know for sure? Tank is Tank. And Fresh…well Fresh is always Fresh. I’m down like I’m Brown for that.

For the week of March 10-16, 2019 I cover:
Aladdin
Ask Dr. Ruth
Avengers: Endgame

Shall we begin?

Aladdin (March 12)
Yeezus Aladdin is yet another prominent example of why diversity is synonymous with crap.

Diversity is cheap and ephemeral; only quality is timeless and worth the effort. And this is not quality.

Sammy Verdict: It’s impossible this will even be good.

Ask Dr. Ruth (March 12)
Oh yes! Hot Docs 2019 will be screening Hulu’s Ask Dr. Ruth documentary. So looking forward to this…it’ll probably have the spiciest Q and A. That alone is worth the price of admission.

Sammy Verdict: I’m burning to see this…

Avengers: Endgame (March 14)
Alright new Avengers: Endgame trailer! You gonna have the balls to call a movie Endgame than you better also have the balls to end the game of some Avengers. Cue the grave digger from Kraven’s Last Hunt. Lay em out with utter ruckus.

Sammy Verdict: #TeamRuckus! (And slightly…#TeamThanos!)
