Baywatch, May 16

It may not be the most cerebral watch, but it will be a whole load of fun. Hopefully it will take us back to the days of staying up to watch it on a Saturday night, right before Blind Date and Gladiators came on. With The Rock and Zac Efron providing the beach bods, we can’t se people being let down.

I’LL BE READY.

Considering they spent a good chunk of the summer filming in Ireland, there better be a whole load in this follow up.

Jumanji, December 22

OK, we are not endorsing this idea of remaking Jumanji, but it’s bound to be worth a watch. The Rock, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black will all star. It’s either gonna be the biggest flop, or the biggest joy of 2017.
