Summer Blockbuster

'Strap in, you're in the driver's seat now.'


Ahh, the summer blockbuster!  I remember going with my dad to see A View To A Kill in the summer of 1985.  I was just a kid, but I loved the feeling of coming out of that theatre in the dark on a hot summer night.  I had that same feeling with The Goonies, Top Gun, Jurassic Park, Ghost, The Lion King and so many more.


I've usually enjoy Brad Pitt movies, I think I've spent a few summer nights staring at his face and body on the big screen.  The last Pitt summer blockbuster I remember was awhile ago, probably World War Z back in 2013.  I hadn't planned however, on seeing F1: The Movie,  I'm really into race car flicks, but one of the films stars has changed my mind.


I think my crush on British actor Damson Idris began went I tried to get into Snowfall.  I didn't stick with the series, but my crush was cemented. I also saw him in the 2018 drama Farming.  Farming wasn't always an easy watch, but Idris was excellent in the role.  Rumor has it, that Idris is also in line to start in Black Panther 3.

Snowfall was an awesome show that didn't get the attention that it deserved
