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.

EDITORIAL: Video Game Movies and the Future of the Genre

Assassin’s Creed is out and by now you probably realize that most critics really don’t like the film and most of the audience find it adequate at best. This was meant to be the year for videos game films, but both Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed got generally lukewarm responses. So what is it? Are video game movies destined to fail? Are they simply not meant to be translated to the silver screen? That is what most people are saying, especially coming out of Assassin's Creed.
