Thus far, this has been a pretty good summer for blockbuster cinema. Superman and F1 are good. 28 Years Later is great. Final Destination: Bloodlines fucking rocks. I haven’t seen the Lilo & Stitch and How To Train Your Dragon remakes or the new Jurassic World, but they seem to be doing what they’re supposed to be doing. Everyone is making money. The Fantastic Four: First Steps and The Naked Gun and Weapons are all waiting in the wings. But before all that, we have to deal with motherfucking Smurfs.
