Movie Rewatch – The First Incredibles
This movie is really good! I hate using such an imprecise term, but I’m sitting here shocked at how good this animated superhero film is. I’d seen Incredibles when it came out in 2004, and certainly liked it, but now, in 2018, I have a different mindset. Back then I had no idea how…well, GOOD…

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…

Deadpool Musical Parody – Beauty and the Beast
[pullquote]If you’re a Disney Princess fan, you might not exactly appreciate Disney’s Prince of Gab, Deadpool.[/pullquote] And here we get a little in-joke about the other Disney Marvel heroic ensembles: with nods to the Avengers, X-Men, and…Betsy?

Avenger Superhero Powers, by Category
With a metric ton of heroes, superheros, powered beings, and skilled fighters to keep track of in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s easy to forget not everyone is an innately god-like, supersensory fighting machine. At least in the X-Men Universe things are simple: you’re either a normal human, or a mutant with super skills. (Or…

New Wolverine Takes Up Claws for Next Movie
Remember Laura, the little girl clone of Wolverine from the great X-Men film Logan? There is talk of a Logan spinoff to follow Laura’s story. I don’t think that move would come as much of a surprise. They left the ending wide open with the new mutant kids going to Eden, and the actress made…

Review – Kingsman – The Golden Circle
—
As enjoyable as the first film, with some fine set pieces, original action, lots of humor, and good new characters. In particular, while dangerous ski gondola scenes have been done to death in James Bond films, the one here is fresh and exciting. Wheeee! The “president” should be a pretty familiar stand-in for our times,…

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – movie review
—
Grade: C+ Overall I’m not terribly impressed with Spider-Man 2, but I’ve not been much impressed with any of the movies in either Spider-Man series. My general feeling is that the characters, especially the villains, lack depth and believable motivation – more on that later. The story was a little jumpy to me. There’s apparently…
