Deadpool 2: Bigger and Raunchier!
Now the bloom is off the metaphorical rose, the big question for lovers of R-rated superhero movies is this: Is Deadpool bigger and better than Deadpool 1?
Deadpool 2: Maximum Sequel
Deadpool 2 opens with the day-to-day living of Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds). Deadpool, the merc-with-a-mouth, is gainfully employed as a globe-trotting, wise-cracking assassin who dispatches foes ruthlessly and with grotesque creativity (credit where credit is due). Supporting him endlessly is his love Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) and overall life is grand. A time-traveling mutant named Cable […]
Avengers: Infinity War – Ka-Boom!
Anyone who’s read Marvel comics over the last four decades knows that any prolonged story arc will usually lead to one heckuva blowout in that arc’s conclusion. That’s exactly what happens in Avengers: Infinity War – the final chapter (or is it?) of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s current arc. Since pretty much every sequence in […]
A Quiet Place Is a Haunting Post-Apocalyptic Tale!
First, let me make something perfectly clear – I can’t decide whether A Quiet Place is an alien invasion movie cleverly disguised as a horror movie, or a horror movie cleverly disguised as an alien invasion movie. Whatever the case, it’s a clever, original, haunting frequently scary film that has, at its heart, the bonds […]
Ready Player One – Visual Flair can’t disguise an Empty Experience
I’ve never read the book for Ready Player One, so feel free to stop reading this review now. Still here? Good. The great Steven Spielberg has crafted one of his worst films ever. With that said, even a bad Spielberg film is well worth watching. Ok, not A.I. Artificial Intelligence that movie is unwatchable. All […]

Pacific Rim: Uprising – Is It Summer Already?
Pacific Rim: Uprising feels like a summer movie – it’s practically the definition of goofy summer fun.
Love, Simon – A Teen RomCom for Our Times!
The usual teen romantic comedy has a very simple formula: boy meets girls; they fall in love; boy loses girl; boy gets girl. With Love, Simon you do not just get the formula beginning with boy meets boy. It’s not quite that simple, and it’s certainly more rewarding.
Game Night – Too Many Games, Not Enough Fun!
A movie called Game Night ought to be a laugh riot, right? Then why does it end up being such a farce of a farce?
Black Panther is almost as good as the Hype Suggests, Michelle’s Review!
You all know how I roll. I’m not one of those “Marvel can do no wrong” and all DCEU movies “Sucks” fangirls (I mean critics). I’ve hated plenty of Marvel films. I’d love to be my usual contrarian self here and tell you all that Black Panther sucks but it doesn’t. With that said please […]
