Deadpool and Wolverine (2024) | Review

2024 | R | 127 mins. | Directed by Shawn Levy Deadpool and Wolverine sees Marvel finally bringing both characters into the MCU. With Phase 4 and 5 both regarded as being hit or miss, Marvel has needed a smash hit and something that will make the fans run out to the theater. Teaming up two of their best characters and banking on nostalgia seems like a sure thing. After all, Spider-Man: No Way Home has been the biggest movie for Marvel since Avengers Endgame and that movie brought out all the nostalgia. So, does the movie live up to the hype or does it fall short of such high expectations? For me, the movie more than lives up to the hype. Right out of the gate this movie lets you know exactly what you're in store for. A huge fight sequence including Deadpool killing many different people in very comical ways and spraying mass amounts of blood sets the tone for what's to come. From there on the movie keeps up with the violence and action as well as being consistently hilarious t

Ricky Stanicky (2024) | Review

2024. R. 113 mins. Directed by Peter Farrelly Three childhood best friends; Dean (Zac Efron), JT (Andrew Santino) and Wes (Jermaine Fowler) pull a prank on Halloween that doesn't go as planned. To get out of trouble they create an imaginary kid named Ricky Stanicky that takes the fall for their wrongdoings. Over the next twenty years, the boys use Ricky as a scapegoat anytime they do something wrong or want to get out of something. When their families want to invite Ricky to a party the guys must figure out whether to tell the truth or do something drastic. They end up going the drastic route by hiring an entertainer they met in Atlantic City named Rod (John Cena), who just so happens to also be a trained actor. Director Peter Farrelly has had a long history of making comedies. Some have been hilarious, like Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary, while others have missed the mark entirely, like The Heartbreak Kid and Dumber and Dumber To. Ricky Stanicky falls somew

Hit Man (2024) | Movie Review

2023. R. 115 mins. Directed by Richard Linklater Synopsis: A professor moonlighting as a hit man of sorts for his city police department, descends into dangerous, dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to a woman who enlists his services. Director Richard Linklater has once again crafted another stellar movie. The script, written by Linklater and Powell, is top notch and really works from start to finish. There are numerous scenes throughout with some great dialogue and the script is extremely witty, especially with the character of Gary Johnson. Linklater does a great job at building the character of Gary and letting the audience get to know him. Seeing a montage of Gary posin g as a hit man for different clients and putting on different disguises and accents is one of the best parts of the movie. Glen Powell knocks his performance out of the park. This is a perfect starring vehicle for him, and he performs expertly throughout. Adria Arjona gives a fantastic performance

Becky: Review

It is always nice to see an actor who is mostly known for their comedic performances want to venture out and try their hand at something different. Just last year we saw Adam Sandler give one of the best performances of his career in Uncut Gems and now one of his best friends in Kevin James is trying his luck at a role that is unlike anything he's ever done before. Should James stick to his usual comedy routine or does he have the chops to play more nasty villain roles? Becky follows the story of a young girl, played by Lulu Wilson, who is traveling with her dad Jeff (Joel McHale) to their lake house for the weekend. To her surprise her dad has also invited his girlfriend Kayla (Amanda Brugel) and her son Ty. This doesn't go over well as Becky is still not over the loss of her mother who passed away just a year ago so she sets off into the woods with the family dogs. Things get worse from there when a group of convicts, led by Dominick (Kevin James), take the family hostage.

I Saw The TV Glow (2024) | Review

2024. PG-13. 100 mins. Directed by Jane Schoenbrun Synopsis: Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show, a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen's view of reality begins to crack. I Saw The TV Glow is the perfect example of a movie that has so much potential to be great but doesn't stick the landing in its execution. Director/Writer Jane Schoenbrun has an interesting vision for the story at hand and there are some great themes spread out throughout the movie. However, all the interesting ideas never feel like they are fleshed out enough and when the movie comes to an extremely abrupt ending, it all just feels like it led up to nothing worthwhile. This is a movie about finding your true self and being who you really are inside, but all that gets lost in a muddled story that loses itself by the end. There are glimpses of a truly gr
