Movies On UP! – Ep62: Pacific Rim Jobbed

Movies On UP! is also now on Stitcher!

Guillermo Del Toro’s latest effort robbed of it’s rightful place atop the heap.  What else did you think I was referring to with the title?  This weekend at the box office, giant robots ko’d by Sandler and friends.  It took a while to sink in but Ryan and Dave try to come to grips with Grown Ups 2 besting Pacific Rim at the box office.  Dave takes out his frustrations on Wolverine and Spider-Man putting  his kibosh on any team ups between Canada’s finest, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and the Avengers.  Not willing to stop there, Dave also boots Wolverine from the just announced X-Force project.  Sam Mendes is back for Bond 24, and possibly 25?

Quite a varied roster of trailers featuring Frankenstein’s Army, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, Out of the Furnace, Saving Mr. Banks, Oldboy, Seventh Son, Lovlace, The Curse of Chucky, How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Sharknado!

  Ryan and Dave conjure up a discussion on James Wan’s Insidious later on this week.  Check back next week for Movies on Up’s final news and trailers episode featuring Comic Con 2013.  From here on out, it’s all movies all the time.  We’ll keep two episodes per week, one movie discussion/review and one topical list.

Thanks to The Champions of All Time for the theme music. It comes from the song “Home” off the CD/DVD Bridges Burned/Lessons Learned.

And a BIG thanks to Morgan Jim Cole for our fly, new logo.

Morgan, I still like our old fly logo.  One is silver, the other gold.
