Movie Review: LOGAN (Review #2)


In 2029, a not so distant future, mutants have stopped being born, the remainders of their race have gone into hiding. Logan (Hugh Jackman) is at rock bottom, working as a limo driver, drinking himself mad every day and caring for an ailing Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) in the middle of the desert. When an innocent girl (Dafne Keen) enters their life they might just have found a real purpose to their lost lives.

Sad, brutal, powerful, and most importantly, freshly original, Logan is a great piece of cinema with performers committed to this material in a way we haven't quite seen before in the genre which pays off by hitting emotional heights for which the audience might be as unprepared for as much as they are touched by it.

Trailer Review: DEADPOOL 2 ('No Good Deed' Teaser)


The biggest news this weekend is the quality and success of the latest film in the X-Men franchise, the (supposed) final appearance for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Logan.  But that's not the only X news. Playing before the screenings of Logan this weekend, was a very special treat for fans.  The very first teaser (titled 'No Good Deed') for the currently untitled Deadpool sequel was screened, and it was great.  Check it out in all of its glory below:

Movie Review: LOGAN


Logan is the latest X-Men spinoff film featuring Wolverine and is the final film for both Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Sir Patrick Stewart’s Professor Xavier (or so they say). Set in 2029, we meet up with an aging and weakening Wolverine who has a job as a limo driver while attending to the ailing nonagenarian Charles Xavier. The conflict of the film arises when Logan (or James or Wolverine) encounters a woman and a young girl and becomes intertwined with their quest. James Mangold returns after The Wolverine to direct this film which stars Jackman, Stewart, Dafne Keen, Boyd Holdbrook, Stephen Merchant, and Richard E. Grant.

Movie Review: THE WOLVERINE


The Wolverine is the second attempt at an X-Men spinoff film. We, once again, feature Wolverine as our main character who is, once again, played by Hugh Jackman. James Mangold took over the directorial duties for the film which loosely follows a famous Wolverine comic storyline where he goes to Japan after being called there to say goodbye to an old Japanese man whose life Wolverine saved in World War II. The film stars Tao Okamoto, Rila Fukushima, Hiroyuki Sanada, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Brian Tee, and Hal Yamanouchi alongside Jackman.
