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.

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: X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the first spin-off film set in the Fox X-Men Universe that focuses on the signature Wolverine character. Hugh Jackman returns for the titular role in this film that goes back in time to tell the origin story for the Wolverine we all know and love. The film was directed by Gavin Hood and stars Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston, Lynn Collins, Taylor Kitsch, and Ryan Reynolds alongside Jackman.

Trailer Review: LOGAN (Trailer #2)

The first trailer for the new film Logan was so good that most of us were sitting here asking ourselves if they just shot themselves in the foot. With the Johnny Cash music that created a tone that made us excited yet a little worried about the full movie, considering they probably weren’t going to run "Hurt" on repeat. That’s where all eyes went on the second trailer, worrying if it didn’t live up to the hype perhaps the greatness of the first trailer did really all come from the music. Put your worries aside, this trailer was fantastic.  Check it out below:
