Remakes and Franchises make movie watching boring these days. Same ol’ this and with a sprinkle of that thing already imagined. Jurassic World and Ocean’s 8 are two examples of films —this summer— whose failure to deviate from the plot and character development of it’s precursors to produced a final product that hit all the marks of fanfare but lacked originality.
What's In This Episode
- Weighing down Jurassic World: Kingdom is a story that went way off the grid of believability, but conforms to the beloved moments of the first film, Jurassic Park.
- Sicario, is new to the franchise market, but can it survive as a profitable film series to a story that needed no sequel?
- With a cast of eight actresses and the potential to breath new life into this forgotten franchise, Ocean’s 8 failed to create a better version of the original film by sticking to the Soderbergh heist movie formula.
- I blame tween novels, and the social media experience.
