Ngamer64 04/26/18 8:59:55 PM #6:	August 10th *The Meg* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsLk0NPRFAc" data-time=" Remember when you were 10 and you discovered that 3 million years ago there was a great white shark the size of a schoolbus swimming around eating literally everything in the ocean, and its name was Megaladon, and it was the best day of your childhood? What if I told you that there was secretly one 75 foot Meg still hiding at the bottom of the ocean, and now its eating every surfer on the West Coast, and only Jason Statham can stop it? If you answered "that would be the best day of my adult life," boy do I have the movie for you. Sharks have never really gone out of style post-Jaws, but they're especially hot right now in the wake of The Shallows and 47 Meters Down the last couple years. Well, okay so neither of those movies made much money, but Meg has a much larger budget and the advantage of being the last action flick of the Summer- maybe it can turn that into a respectable showing? Personally I think I'll wait for Netflix on this one but it could still be fun with a large enough popcorn bucket in your lap. Related: The Shallows $55, Piranha 3D $25, Sharknado (zero dollars) Ng Sez: $69 August 17th *The Happytime Murders* Honestly I should have concluded this Summer's movie coverage with Mission Impossible, but I had to do August solely so I could talk about this one- undoubtedly the weirdest idea I've ever had the pleasure of doing a writeup for. Soooo there was this Muppet/Sesame Street-like TV program in the 70s and 80s, except all the puppets on the show existed in real life, and now in 2018 they start turning up dead. This is an R-rated film noir about the puppet detective who has to follow shady characters into gin joints and strip clubs to get to the bottom of these Happytime Murders, before he gets knocked off himself. ...and no I didn't just make that up, this movie really exists, I just can't prove it because they haven't released a trailer yet. I could see a show like this becoming a cult hit on a streaming service or Adult Swim, but someone spending millions of dollars to promote it slash release it in thousands of theaters? Personally I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes on opening night!

Keanu's riding high off the goodwill generated by the frankly incredible things he's done in the past few years to anyone who looked at his dog the wrong way, so I could see him turning this fairly stereotypical sci-fi trope into a decent hit. Won't set the world on fire but I'm down for some mind-bending synthetic action, so count me in if the reviews are better than expected!
