The Amazing Spider-Man 3 delayed until 2018

We have news about a couple release dates that were announced and delayed today.

Starting off with Disney, they have finally set a new release date for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. About a year ago the film was pulled from its original 2015 release but it was delayed indefinitely. Disney announced today that the fifth installment of the Pirates franchise will be released on July 7, 2017. Johnny Depp is slated to return as Capt. Jack Sparrow.

Moving onto Sony, they have made some significant moves in the Amazing Spider-Man franchise. The Sinister Six will be released on November 11, 2016 while The Amazing Spider-Man 3 has been delayed until May 4, 2018. It was recently rumored that Sony was going to push TASM3 from 2016 to 2017, but with them pushing it an additional year to 2018 is a bit surprising. Many are speculating the delay is to test the waters of Drew Goddard's take on the Sinister Six and see if the film can rescue Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man franchise because after very dismal and overwhelmingly negative reviews of TASM2 they obviously realized something had to be done to fix the momentum.
Keeping up with Sony, we also got news that a film adaptation of the Playstation video game, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, will be released on June 10, 2016. The film has been in the works for years and recently director Seth Gordon signed onto the project and stated that he hoped filming would start by early 2015. No one has been cast as Nathan Drake just yet, but I am sure it will be a very competitive role. I personally loved the Uncharted games so I am oddly excited for a movie to come out. It has the potential to be great.



[EDIT] It seems that Sony was thinking the same thing as just about everyone else when Marvel snatched up the May 3, 2018 date as they have already removed The Amazing Spider-Man 3 from the May 4, 2018 date and are now saying it will be released in 2018. There is no specific day set anymore. Another thing Sony has rushed to announce is the delay does not mean they are rebooting Spider-Man once again. 

Deliver Us from Evil - Review

After an NYPD detective is called to the scene of an unusual crime inside the Bronx Zoo, a bigger story begins to unfold revealing demons and how they lure in their prey. He teams up with a priest to unfold the mystery but it soon begins affecting his work, his family, and his mind in Deliver Us from Evil.


I won't say I was really excited for this movie because I wasn't. I saw a trailer for it earlier this year and figured I would give it a shot when it was released. Now that I have seen it I wouldn't say it was bad but it wasn't great either. Just another typical possession movie to me.

I think the basics of it is there were a lot of loose ends. Once you start uncovering the demons and how the people were linked together, a lot of the events began to feel a bit trivial. Certain people die and you're left there just kind of wondering what happened next. There were also some characters that completely disappeared out of nowhere and weren't seen again. My questions are [spoilers beware]:

1. Why was Santino's face painted all the time? That shit isn't USMC approved.
2. What happened to Jimmy's wife and daughter? They just randomly disappeared.
3. Was no one upset that Sarchie's partner was killed?
4. How exactly was Mendoza allowed to be a practicing priest? Given the fact that he was an "undercover" priest I kind of got the feeling he was lying to Sarchie about not being excommunicated.
5. Did no one ever mention the interrogation tape recording the exorcism of Santino? Not only that, what about the officer watching behind the glass? You know he had some questions asked.
6. Did no one at the police department mention the dead doctor at the psych ward or the missing woman?
7. Better yet, how did the woman even get out of the psych ward? You mean to tell me there was literally only one staff member on duty in this entire hospital? 


Loose ends. It was the loose ends that got me here. The story and the overall plot wasn't bad but the little things like that just got me.
