Movie Preview Part I: Spring
by
Wayne Frazier
Spring 2015 could perhaps be one of the most lucrative seasons in Hollywood history. Movies like Avengers, Mad Max, Jurassic World and a tiny sequel about Jedi Knights are only a small list of what is ahead at a theater near you. Before I get ahead of myself, I thought it best to break the upcoming movie season into different blogs. I will start with the new films on the way this spring.
Since I can’t list them all, I will give you some intel on what I believe will be the hits and misses.
Cinderella should fair well with the Disney faithfuls, especially when showing Frozen Fever a seven minute animated short before the feature.
The Divergent Series: Insurgent looks to be an action-packed sequel to the original Divergent film. The stakes are high as Tris looks for answers and allies in a futuristic Chicago landscape.
The Gunman deals with the problems of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, starring Sean Penn.
A comedy with two of the best in the business. Get Hard puts Will Farrell and Kevin Hart on screen together and hopefully the results will be gut-busting.
Unfortunately in a limited release Monsters: Dark Continent the sequel to Gareth Edwards sci-fi hit Monster may get lost in the shuffle. If you haven’t seen the original it is a must watch for sci-fi fans.
For the spring romantic love story The Longest Ride might just be the story for you, as the challenges of enduring love are explored.
And finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention the most highly anticipated spring movie that I look forward to is (insert drum roll)… Fast and Furious 7 It is the final film for actor Paul Walker
and looks to be one of his finest performances in the series.
I hope to have given an honest attempt at how the spring movie season will unfold. Comedies, sci-fi, horror, romance, kids films and car chases “Oh My”! Like I said this is only the short list of many movies to follow. Thanks to Movie Insider for the amazing trailers.
What are you looking forward to seeing?

I’m hopeful Mission Impossible V will continue the tradition of top-flight action movies this summer. I”m afraid Avengers is being over-hyped and probably won’t live up to its billing, but we’ll see. The sequel/prequel/reboot fare in the form of Mad Max, Terminator, and Jurassic World are movies I can live without as I am happy with the originals. Two movies NOT on the must-see list are Fantastic Four and Ant Man. Puh-lease!
