Summer-Fall 2016 Movie Preview Part 2


Let's skip the intro, and quickly start September with "Morgan". IMDb says it's a SciFi thriller although the trailer has a strong horror smell. We'll see if the result is more "Ex Machina" or more "Carrie".




What's definitely a horror is "Before I Wake". As I was saying last time, I think the the "ghost story" subgenre got a bit overused in the latest years. However, here's a case that seems slightly more original than the rest trying the "dreams come true ... including nightmares" theme instead the evil spirit. Well ... original if we totally disregard Elm Street :) ...




This year we get a remake for "The Magnificent Seven". I have doubts that Denzel & company have any chance to live up to the Yul Brynner & company standards, not to mention the seven samurai of Kurosawa. But after more than 50 years from the last version we can indulge a try, can't we :) ?




In October we have three interesting thrillers. The first is "The Girl on the Train". The problem with this one is that the trailer says a bit too much ...




Second comes "The Accountant". Here we're better on the trailer spoilers side. But also rather common on the story side ...




And the third is of course "Inferno". Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is back in the latest movie based on Dan Brown's novel. It doesn't seem worse than "Angels & Demons". We'll see if it's better than "The Da Vinci Code".




Let's wrap up with a Marvel movie in November. Apparently I can't ignore completely the superhero niche even if I'd like to ... This time however, there's something here that somehow got my attention. "Dr. Strange".
