Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome to another edition of 6 Flicks Picks, wherein I list all of the upcoming films that are scheduled to be released in the United States for the month which is about to begin and break down which ones I'll be watching in theaters, which ones I'll wait to rent at home, and which ones I'll be skipping out on entirely. After going through the list, I'll choose which six films stand out to me as the ones I want to see the most, even if there are more or less than six that interest me.

Note: The list below is based primarily off the expanded nationwide USA release dates on IMDB as well as some other random outlets if possible, so some information may be different. If I am missing some of the limited releases or the dates conflict in some fashion, please let me know in the comments below and any adjustments and corrections will be made!

Without further ado, another new month means another new set of films, so what's coming soon to theaters in September 2019?

Which films make the cut?

6. The Goldfinch — This or Rambo for the last spot, and since I haven't seen the other Rambo movies, I'll just toss this out there, but I'm not actually going to see it.

5. The Hunt — Zero interest in seeing this, but it's a weak month, and I'd rather watch something that the government feels is bad than to watch just some movie about Judy Garland or whatever.

4. Abominable — It might be cute. What's up with all these yeti movies this year, though? This is the third. It's like the only two ideas Hollywood had heading into 2019 were "yeti" and "dog movie" since a new one comes out every other month.

3. 21 Bridges — This legitimately looks good.

2. Ad Astra — This legitimately looks good, too.

1. It: Chapter Two — I saw the Tim Curry edition and the first part of this reboot. Of course I'll see this.
