Sean’s movie thoughts

I re-watched Xanadu and it is a fun movie but kind of odd. Olivia Newton John, Michel Beck, and Gene Kelly star in this musical. It was Kelly’s last appearance. Beck did not sing. That might have been just as well. It might be time to re-watch Grease, it has been a while since I last saw it.  Okay, I know that one of the songs has a line or two in poor taste (and at least one line was removed from the live TV version) and  a few of the actors playing high school students don’t look like high school students. It is still worth re-watching.  Gladiator Underground is fun. I think it is worth re-watching. Two brothers are in an illegal tournament  and they have a strained relationship. Fights are good. It could have been better and maybe it is not worth re-watching.  Five recent movies I liked a lot Affinity Diablo Prisoner of War Fantastic Four: First Steps Under Fire  

Apparently there a plans for a Grease prequel called Summer Loving. I guess this news broke Tuesday. That movie would cover Danny and Sandy’s meeting at the beach. You know the events that the original movie explained in a song. I am not sure why this is a good idea. I guess it could work. Any movie can potentially work but I have seen (and own) Grease, and Grease Live and I never really wondered about that summer. (Grease 2 had different characters. I do own it though.) Not all movies need prequels. We will see what happens. A lot of movies are planned or announced but later never happen. The Remo Williams remake is one example.
