I am really looking forward to seeing 22 Jump Street and normally i am not really bothered by sequels because they never live up to the original but i have a feeling that this will be just as good as 21 Jump Street.
This time Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are going undercover at a local college and i am really hoping that it is going to be more of the same of the first film. With Jenko (Tatum) befriending the football team and Schmidt (Hill) infiltrating the bohemian art scene which we all no will lead them to question their partnership with some great comedy thrown in there.
The trailer looks awesome taking the series to another lever, i love any Channing Tatum film and love them even more when he is paired with Jonah Hill they have great chemistry on screen which is why the first film worked so well so it can only mean good things for the sequel. The film also stars Ice Cube, Peter Stormare, Wyatt Russell, Amber Stevens and Jillian Bell.
I am really looking forward to seeing this film adding a bit of comedy amongst all the big action packed summer block busters. The film is set for release on the 13th June.
3 words . . . . . Channing Tatum STRIPPING!!!!!!!!
Channing Tatum plays Magic Mike a Stripper/Entrepreneur who takes on a novice stripper The Kid (Alex Pettyfer) and teaches him everything he knows about stripping (partying, picking up women and making easy money) whilst trying to seek a way out of the lifestyle to live out his dream. They both work at the club Xquisite which is owned by former stripper Dallas (Matthew McConaughey).
The film is directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderberg and also stars Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer and Cody Horn.
After watching the trailer i really want to see this film, it looks like it will be a good laugh plus Channing Tatum and Alex Pattyfer stripping whats not to like.
This is definitely going to be a film for the ladies so don't forget to check it out when its released on the 29th June in the US and the 13th July in the UK
Don't forget to check out Channing Tatum in G.I Joe: Retaliation out this summer and 21 Jump Street out now in cinemas.
With Step Up 4 hitting our screens this summer i thought i would take a look back at the previous 3 films in the series.
Step Up
The first film in the franchise is set around the main characters Tyler (Channing Tatum) and Nora (Jenna Dewan now Jenna Dewan-Tatum). Troubled teen Tyler is the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, he and his friends decide to break into to Maryland School of Arts, which leads to Tyler getting caught and sentenced to community service as a cleaner at the school where he meets Nora one of the dance students who has previously seen Tyler dancing in the parking lot, Nora's dance partner gets injured and Tyler steps in to help her out making some new friends along the way. The love story that blossoms between the two main characters is a little predictable but is great to watch their story evolve. Plus the dance scenes are really good!!!
Step Up 2: The Streets
The second film in the franchise is still set at Maryland School of Arts (MSA) but with a new set of characters. This time around the main character is Andie (Briana Evigan), she has just lost her mum and is now living with her mums closest friend Sarah. The only thing that she cares about is dancing with her crew, Sarah has given Andie and ultimatum to clean up her attitude and go to school or she is getting shipped of to Texas. A cameo appearance by Channing Tatum and Andie is excepted into (MSA) where she meets the kids that don't quite conform to the school and they decided to make their own crew, led by Chase (Robert Hoffman) to compete at 'The Streets' against Andie's old crew. You can't really compare this film to the first one because they are both different dance style wise, but the same storyline is there with the development of the relationship between the main characters Andie and Chase. My favourite character in this is Moose (Adam G Sevani) he has some great moments with all the characters and is really funny. Just like the first one the dancing is incredible so check it out!!!
Step Up 3D
This time around we find ourselves in New York as Moose (Adam G Sevani) heads to University with his best friend Camille Gage (Alyson Stonner), who if you have seen the first one is Tyler's little sister. Moose soon gets into trouble and is saved by Luke (Rick Malambri) the leaded of a tight nit street dance crew called the House of Pirates are battling against their enemies the House of Samurai at the World Jam battle. Luke meets Natalie (Sharni Vinson) and recruits her into the his crew. The storyline from this film where you see the relationship between two people coming together through dance, in the case of this film you can see the relationship of two characters changing, the main characters of Luke and Natalie and the best friends Moose and Camille. The dancing in this film has gotten bigger and better from the previous films, with the MSA crew joining forces with the Pirates to win the World Jam and to save the Pirates home. I can not give enough praise for this film its my favourite out of the whole series so far the dancing is spectacular and the characters keep getting better and better. So you need to watch it!!!
If you haven't seen the trailer for Step Up Revolution yet then check it out because its going to be EPIC!!!
Ice Age Continental Drift
Release date: 13th July
Like probably everyone i love Ice Age, Sid the Sloth is amazing and i am so glad that they have decided to make another one. Sid joined with Manny and Diego are back for a fun filled adventure when the continents start to split they get separated from their family, they have to travel through a new world to find their way home, and we can't forget Scratch still trying to get his acorn.
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises
Release Date: 20th July
Its going to be so EPIC it deserves its own post so check that out!!!
Christian Bale is back and this is going to be the last instalment in the Dark Knight series :(
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Release Date: 2nd August
I don't no much about this film it just sounds cool and the trailer looks awesome, plus Tim Burton is producing so its a good sign. The general idea is that vampires are trying to take over the United States and Abraham Lincoln is determined to stop them. Taking on the role of Lincoln is Benjamin Walker with Dominic Cooper, Andy Tudyk, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Rufus Sewell in support.
GI Joe: Retaliation
Release Date: 3rd August
Its no secret that the first film wasn't the best film but they are back for a second time with only Channing Tatum (Duke) and Ray Park (Snake Eyes) have made the cut for this second outing with Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson and Adrianne Palicki stepping in to help the hero's as part of the GI Joe task force. From the trailer the film is picking up slightly from where the last film left off so its probably a good idea to watch that first. The GI Joe task force has been set for termination by the President's orders and there is a bad guy to be defeated.
And if you are still undecided Bruce Willis is in it as the original Joe so whats no to like.
Step Up Revolution
Release Date: 10th August
The 4th in the Step Up series which just keep getting better and better with new characters, new locations, new dancing and great music. This latest instalment is set in Miami and taking on the roles of the main characters is Ryan Guzman and Katherine McCormick if you have seen any of the previous films you will know how the basics of the story will go and if you haven't seen any of the other films in the series then i suggest you check them out.
If you have seen the other films you may notice the return of Moose!!!
(after watching the trailer i had Pitbull-International Love in my head for ages)
The Bourne Legacy
Release Date: 17th August
Jeremy Renner takes on the lead role in the latest in the Bourne Series, his character Aaron Cross was part of the same programme that Matt Damon's Jason Bourne was, so he is basically a CIA assassin. I hope that Renner can make his own stamp on the Bourne series and be as good as Matt Damon because i will more than likely be comparing the two. Staring along side Renner is Rachel Weisz and Ed Norton.
I have very high hopes for this film because the other three have been superb
Brave
Release Date: 17th August
This years Disney film set in medieval/mythical Scotland Princess Merida just wants to be an archer, her mother wants her to be a proper Princess and get married and well like in most Disney films about a Princess there is magic involved and Merida makes a wish to change her life and in typical fashion it doesn't exactly go to plan and she must rely on her 'bravery' to undo the curse.
Voicing the characters in the film are Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Kelly Macdonald, Robbie Coltrane, Kevin McKidd and Julie Walters
Love a good Disney film
