I don’t know about “The Godfather,” “X-Men,” and “Shrek,” but turns out with “Deadpool” the third time is in fact the charm. “Deadpool & Wolverine” is the third film of the “Deadpool” series, and features Ryan Reynolds reprising his role as the Merc with the Mouth while Hugh Jackman picks up his claws once more… Continue reading ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Review: A Fun, Irrelevant Trip Down Marvel Memory Lane
Saying a film feels like it could’ve come out 15 years ago can either be a compliment or insult; here, it’s the former. “IF” follows a young girl (Cailey Fleming) who, with the help of her neighbor (Ryan Reynolds), sets out to reunite a group of imaginary friends (led by the voices of Phoebe Waller-Bridge,… Continue reading ‘IF’ Review: A Cute and Charming Family Throwback
I think it should be federal law that no new Christmas movies be released until mid-November at the very earliest. “Spirited” is a modern spin on the classic “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, and follows the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell) as he tries to redeem a corrupt PR spinster (Ryan Reynolds). Octavia… Continue reading ‘Spirited’ Review: Christmas Comes Early With Middling Results
Not sure when multiverses and actors meeting younger versions of themselves became Hollywood’s go-to, but here we go again… “The Adam Project” stars Ryan Reynolds as a pilot from the future who crash lands in the year 2022 and must work with his 12-year-old self (Walker Scobell) to get back to his time. Mark Ruffalo,… Continue reading ‘The Adam Project’ Review: A Passable Yet Forgettable Sci-Fi Adventure
Ever see a film is getting a sequel and you just think, why? “Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard” is a sequel to the 2017 film “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” an enjoyable-enough action-comedy. Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, and Ryan Reynolds reprise their titular roles (respectively) as the trio sets out to stop a madman (Antonio Banderas) from launching… Continue reading ‘Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard’ Review: A Tired, Lazy Sequel
It was long overdue, but I am so glad that Ryan Reynolds has finally gotten his day in the sun and the praise he deserves. Along with Gosling, Canada has given us two Ryans that we are not worthy of. “Deadpool 2” is the sequel to the surprise 2016 hit about the titular foul-mouthed superhero.… Continue reading ‘Deadpool 2’ is More of the Same, for Better or Worse
Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson sharing the screen here is probably as close as we’ll ever get to seeing Deadpool join Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe… “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” follows a bodyguard (Reynolds) who must escort an assassin (Jackson) to the International Court of Justice in order to have him testify against… Continue reading Clichéd and Overlong, There is Still Fun to be Had with ‘The Hitman’s Bodyguard’
Maybe studios should listen to fans more often. “Deadpool” stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular superhero (well, antihero), who after being the subject of an experiment that gives him superhuman abilities, sets out on a path of revenge against the man who almost ruined his life (Ed Skrein). Morena Baccarin, T. J. Miller, and Gina… Continue reading ‘Deadpool’ a Simple but Gleefully Vulgar Superhero Tale
