April Releases
April showers bring Spring releases, and this month is bursting with all sorts of fine goodies to indulge the dedicated movie goer. The big story is, obviously, Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War, which features the return of our heroes to doling out justice against apocalyptic forces of planetary destruction after several films of more down-to-earth matters. But there's more to love this month than just the usual superhero bash. Dwayne Johnson smashes back into theaters with Rampage, an unlikely video game adaptation featuring the former wrestler teaming up with a discredited genetic engineer to save a cadre of oversized beasts from destroying each other and the world. Besides these special effects blockbusters, April brings two animated films which inevitably will vie for the dubious honor of not wresting the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature from the Disney/Pixar cabal: Duck Duck Goose, an American-Chinese joint effort starring Jim Gaffigan as a bachelor gander who finds himself saddled with two ducklings on his migration south; and Animal Crackers, another international collaboration (American-Spanish this time) in which a struggling family who inherits a rundown circus discovers a magical box of animal crackers that allows them to transform into any animal they eat. Hijinks, obviously, ensue.
The t.v. front mostly features returns of old favorites, but with new little gem thrown in the mix: Tracy Morgan as The Last O.G., a witty look at gentrification and culture shock through the eyes of a Booklynite who is recently released from prison, only to find his neighborhood changed, his girlfriend married to someone else, and the long road to adjustment blocked by a host of barriers and nutcases along the way.
Here's the skinny on what else is coming out this month:
