Movie Review – Upgrade
—
Plain and simple, I loved Upgrade. The acting was great, as was the directing and pacing. Also, Whannell wrote a darn good story, somewhat reminiscent of one of my all time favorite movies —Robo Cop. I had zero expectations when I walked into the theater, and left pleasantly surprised. One caveat: it is pretty gory,…

Movie Review – Adrift
Adrift is both more and less than I expected. I expected long, languid scenes of a sailboat floating aimlessly at sea; I expected storms; I expected frequent stretches where Tami (Shailene Woodley) learns to sail. Those bits were in there. [pullquote]What I didn’t expect: the absence of any kind of compelling narrative in what should…

Movie Review – Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has all the tense action and one liners you would expect based off the history of the franchise. But I hope you don’t expect anything more than a template of a story to support it. The first hour of this movie plays like it was written with some basic storytelling application.…

Sand: A Star Wars Story (Darth Vader Hates This Song)
When I first heard this song about Star Wars and Sand, I played it a few times and realized it was way too catchy — impossible to tune out. But it’s so darn cute I don’t mind having the Force bouncing around in my skull for a spell. The funny thing, in the wake of…

Is Deadpool in the Avengers’ Universe?
It’s established that Deadpool swims in his own little eddy in the great Marvel River. Marvel is a pretty big entertainment property, spanning The X-Men (including Deadpool as their R-rated step-child), the MCU, the comics, and a whole host of related TV shows falling under the franchise’s umbrella. It’s not a free-for-all, though it seems…

New Solo Featurette: Becoming Solo
Han Solo is everyone’s favorite space rogue. Star Lord is kind of funnier, and might be almost as cool, but no one can top Han, or — at least — Harrison Ford’s version of him. He still had what it took to make us love Han all the more, in the Star Wars sequel trilogy…

From the Graham Norton Show ( I do like him, with his Brit Wit): For good measure, another interview, explaining why EVERYONE loves Reynolds: https://youtu.be/2EL1RrMF3ik Are you excited yet for Deadpool 2?

Every Hilarious Deadpool 2 Trailer
Deadpool 2 has some marvelously funny previews bobbing around on the internet. Of course, Deadpool could make me laugh just reading the phone book. It would be how he did it, probably lobbing in a few curse bombs, touching himself inappropriately, and slicing up bad guys for good measure. If you haven’t been keeping up…
