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 May 5-11, 2019 I cover:
Watchmen
Summer Night
It: Chapter Two

Shall we begin?

Watchmen (May 8)
HBO’s Watchmen created by Damon Lindelof has returned to capitalize on Alan Moore’s Leftovers in a DC Comics tv show à la Castle Rock. While it looks decent if this is meant to follow up Game Of Thornes HBO is Lost.

Sammy Verdict: I trust Alan Moore I don’t trust Damon Lindelof. 2 or 3 episodes then I’ll make up my mind.

Summer Night (May 8)
Oh! Been a while I’ve chilled with a coming-of-age movie. Summer Night has a large cast with familiar faces…the 2 Night Stand girl, All The Boys I Loved girl, dude from The Circle…if the soundtrack is solid this’ll be fun.

Sammy Verdict: July 12. I’m In!

It: Chapter Two (May 9)
Losers Assemble!! The “Endgame” for the Losers Club who failed to slay Derry’s Thanos: Pennywise wagging his Infinity War on Stephen King’s small town altering reality without puny infinity stones. Snap!

Sammy Verdict: It returns on September 6. Just like me!
