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.  

Fly Me To The Moon

Sparks fly between a marketing executive and a NASA official as he makes preparations for the Apollo 11 moon landing.  

This movie would have been great if they decided what it wanted to be.  If it was just a rom-com then it would have been great.   If it was just a sort of comedic take on a huge historical incident it would have been great too.   But trying to be both made the movie way too long and kind of eh for a long stretch of time in the third quarter of the movie.

It wasn't bad.  It was a better than average watch honestly.  It just could have been so much better.

Longlegs

FBI Agent Lee Harker is assigned to an unsolved serial killer case that takes an unexpected turn, revealing evidence of the occult. Harker discovers a personal connection to the killer and must stop him before he strikes again.

This movie was REALLY good for the first like 3/4 of the movie.   Nicolas Cage was REALLY good.   The movie had a great creepy edge.   It honestly played very well like a low budget Silence Of The Lambs up until the payoff and then it really just kind of crapped the bed and lost me.   Don't want to spoil anything but it just really dropped off at the end.

I would still recommend people checking this out just because of Nic Cage but this movie could have been awesome with a better ending.

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.

The Exorcism

A troubled actor begins to unravel while shooting a horror film. His estranged daughter wonders if he's slipping back into his past addictions or if there's something more sinister at play.

So like this is all Russell Crowe does now?   Just lame and mailed in exorcism movies?   That is honestly pretty crazy.  Like Liam Neeson became a total senior bad ass but a total bad ass Russell Crowe became an over the hell priest type.  I mean in this movie he literally played a washed up actor playing a priest.  Like process that.  

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's nothing more than a waste of time.

Sound Of Hope: The Story Of Possum Trot

Donna and Reverend Martin ignite a movement of compassion in their East Texas church for 22 families to adopt 77 of the most difficult-to-place kids in the foster system.

This was a massive heartstring pulling spiritual kind of drama.  The movie wasn't bad for what it was.  But like that is exactly what it was.  So outside of being all into faith and what not this really isn't the movie for you.  

I would recommend any faith based person checking this out.  You will likely very much enjoy it.  If not - steer very clear of this movie.

Despicable Me 4

Gru welcomes a new member to the family, Gru Jr., who's intent on tormenting his dad. However, their peaceful existence soon comes crashing down when criminal mastermind Maxime Le Mal escapes from prison and vows revenge against Gru.

I am a huge fan of these movies and characters.   Will very likely never get sick of them.   Like did this movie have too many subplots going on?   Was there stuff there just for the sake of it?  Was the story nowhere near as good as the original?   Of course not.   It's a sequel.  But I laughed plenty and left the theater smiling and that is all I was looking for.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.  Fans of the franchise will enjoy and its a great family film regardless.
