Deadpool 2 (2018)

Image
He's back! Everyone's favorite "Merc with a mouth" is back for another round of profanity laced humor and gruesome butt kicking. There is no one superhero who is as humorous as cancer stricken turned facially deformed superhero Wade Wilson. Ryan Reynolds plays Deadpool once again in spectacular fashion and "I can't believe he just said (did) that" feeling. Since Reynolds first outing as the potty-mouthed Deadpool, the iconic character returns in an even more diabolically twisted sense of comedy in this sequel. Director David Leitch makes the film in a way that is as expected, a toilet humor, slapstick comedy with graphic and hilarious action sequences. While it also tends to jab at other superheros, purposefully insulting it's no doubt Leitch has made one of his best films. Yes, by now you already know that "God's perfect idiot" stars in this film as the title character. What I mean by "God's perfect idiot" is that I...

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Long ago in a galaxy far away, were two pals kicking intergalactic butt and saving the galaxy. For over forty years cinema has given us the dynamic duo of Han Solo and his wookie partner-in-crime, Chewie aka Chewbacca. This film gives us an inside look of how the title character began and how the friendship of every ones favorite wookie and Han Solo came to be. Solo is surely to be one of many exciting spin off films in the world of "Star Wars" . Lurking from not so far away, is controversy. The early stages of the film experienced drama within the original helmers.  "Jump Street" directors Christopher Miller and Phil Lord were originally tapped to direct the film but got fired for creative differences. Ron Howard was the replacement and oh man does Howard do this film justice. Ron Howard is a director I couldn't imagine making a " Star Wars " film. But after seeing his first go at a Star Wars film, I was pleasantly surprised at Howard's visio...

Ten years in the making and here we are. One of the biggest cinematic superhero films to date is now at the eyes of audiences everywhere.

Chappaquiddick (2018)

Image
July 18th, 1969, Massachusetts democratic senator Ted Kennedy drives drunk into a Massachusetts lake. His car, was occupying former aid of his brother Bobby, Mary Jo Kopechne. Who was killed in the accident while Kennedy survived. Bringing intense scrutiny, the end result brought forth Kennedy to not run for president in 1972 and 1976. Although he was later found guilty, his sentences were not carried out. A film of the dramatic incident, recounts all that happened in a stunning and jaw-dropping way. Playing the scrutinized senator, is Jason Clarke. It's uncanny how similar the two men look alike. Clarke portrays Ted in spectacular fashion, the facial resemblance, the raw emotion and utter dramatic factor he puts into playing Kennedy is remarkable. While, on-the-other hand, you have Ed Helms, Kate Mara and Bruce Dern rounding out the cast. Usually, with Helms, he is a comedic actor, but he sure does bring his "A-Game" in this film. Mara gives an emotionally gripping, ye...

Blockers (2018)

Image
Back in 1999, Cinema gave us the you’ll-laugh-so hard-you’ll-cry, comedy “ American Pie” . Now 19 years later, a film debuts with basically the same plot: lose virginity before graduating high school. The only difference here is that instead of a group of guys on a mission to do this, it’s a trio of girlfriends. “ Blockers” gives audiences a film that is undeniably raunchy, sexual and most importantly: laugh out loud craziness. Writer Kay Cannon directs the laugh fest. Cannon, who has previously written for “ Pitch Perfect” , ups the comedic efforts and it goes without saying. The film is bright. It has many colorful scenes, (by colorful, I mean clever) jokes, innuendos and gags. Even though this film is about girls wanting to lose their virginity, their parents, who are also friends with one another, try and sabotage that. Playing the parents are: Leslie Mann, John Cena and Ike Barinholtz. The three go all out on humor. They offer one of 2018’s best in a comedic film. Not only...

Ready Player One (2018)

When I first saw the trailers for "RPO", I knew I had to see it, mainly because it was directed by the amazing Steven Spielberg. To make myself even more inclined to see this film I read the book for which the film is based on. This film and the book were everything I had hoped it would be. It is simply a tribute to the entertainment universe and pays homage to pop culture. This is one of my favorite Spielberg films and is one of the most colorful films I have seen to date. Being based on a prior work, you expect a lot out of a film whose source material is a novel. This film lives up to the book in the most impressive ways. The color. The animation. And the action sequences. Not only does this film have intriguing animation, it also has real world scenes that fit right along with the animation and the computer utopia "OASIS". As I said before, this is one of Spielberg's most colorful films, he approaches this with so much creativity and passion for the film...
