Deadpool & Wolverine

Wolverine is recovering from his injuries when he crosses paths with the loudmouth, Deadpool. They team up to defeat a common enemy.

I enjoyed this movie for several reasons.  1 - they did not water down Deadpool violence wise, language wise, innuendo wise or material wise.   That's a major win.  2 - The chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman is on such an awesome level.  Words honestly do no justice.  3 - this movie easily served as the fans voice about all the annoyances of the whole multiverse thing with the commentary on it in real time and it actually helps make the multiverse thing more digestible in my opinion.  There was not too much of a story but like honestly - did there need to be?   And the cameos were most definitely not overhyped.   There were a couple of them that made me yell OH SHIT out loud.  

I would definitely recommend everyone checking this out.  Just the opening credit scene alone is something that I have always needed very much but didn't realize it until I saw it.  LOL!  It is definitely a hard R for those with kids though.

Twisters

Haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado, Kate Cooper gets lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi, to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. She soon crosses paths with Tyler Owens, a charming but reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures. As storm season intensifies, Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves in a fight for their lives as multiple systems converge over central Oklahoma.

This movie was EXACTLY what you would expect going in.   Disaster movie with great special effects.   You don't go to see this for the acting - even though they put together a pretty awesome young and upcoming cast.  You don't go for the story - although they definitely did a good enough job of trying to set one up.  You go for the effects and the movie definitely delivered on that.   This was a very enjoyable popcorn movie.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It's a big part of what going to the movies is all about. 

Cuckoo

Seventeen-year-old Gretchen reluctantly leaves America to live with her father at a resort in the German Alps. Plagued by strange noises and bloody visions, she soon discovers a shocking secret that concerns her own family.

This was another high concept/artsy horror movie.   I liked this one.   It was creepy enough.  It kept you hooked enough and it didn't just mail in the ending like recent others have done.   They were vague all along so that you didn't think you were watching one thing but it turned out to be something else.   And the use of the annoying sounds when something bad was going to happen was an excellent tension builder.

I would recommend people checking this out since it really is a pretty good watch.  It is definitely not a mainstream horror movie though.   Very artsy but still really good.

Borderlands

Returning to her home planet Pandora, an infamous bounty hunter forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits. Together, they battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora's most explosive secrets.

Wow.  This movie was god awful.   Like really really bad.   And it wasn't even like a movie that was so bad you could actually enjoy how bad it is.  Like it was annoyingly bad with annoying characters and literally no hook to interest you in any way.  Total garbage.

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie.   Like ever.

A Quiet Place: Day One

When New York City comes under attack from an alien invasion, a woman and other survivors try to find a way to safety. They soon learn that they must remain absolutely silent as the mysterious creatures are drawn to the slightest sound.

This one was very different from the two ones prior but that was not necessarily a bag thing.  There were some moments of tension throughout it but it was not that frozen in place tension that made you get muscle cramps from the first two.   This one had a lot more action and crazy big scope scenes.  It also had two really good performances in great character arcs that I had not been expecting at all.

I am a huge fan of these movies and this one did not disappoint.  This is one franchise that I would be all for them to continue making movies for it.

MaXXXine

In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. However, as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Los Angeles, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.

This was easily the worst of the three movies in the trilogy but that is NOT me saying that I didn't like it.  I  very much did.  It got a little eh towards the end with the reveal and stuff but everything up to that was still great and the trilogy as a whole is awesome.  All three movies were unique and different and all were great despite the eh reveal of this one.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very enjoyable watch and a great addition to the trilogy.

Harold And The Purple Crayon

Inside his book, adventurous Harold can make anything come to life simply by drawing it. After he grows up and draws himself off the book's pages and into the physical world, he soon learns his trusty crayon can set off more hilarious hijinks than he thought possible. However, when the power of unlimited imagination falls into the wrong hands, it will take all of his creativity to save both the real world and his own.

There are kid's movies that are just as much fun for the adults.   There are kid's movies that are more for them but the adults can manage to make it through.  And then there are kid's movies that are just plain annoying and insulting to both the parents and the kids.  This falls into that group.  I couldn't even make it through the movie.  I stopped half way through because it was honestly unbearable.  

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie.  Ever.  It is painful.  Even for the kids.
