Just watched it. 50s Scenes were cool, but a gray headed Stewart was unexpected.

Same here.

DEADPOOL 2

The Merc with a Mouth is back and Ryan Reynolds was born to play him! As he did the first go around, Reynolds knocks it out of the park. Josh Brolin I wasn't crazy about when I heard the announcement that he'd be playing Cable but he did a good job. Between this and AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, he's on quite the hot streak at the box office recently. I enjoyed the Domino character, even if they did make fun of her quite a bit with her superpower being luck. The film started of well, plenty of jokes to go around. I felt it dragged a little in the middle but recovered nicely towards the end. Quite a few surprises made their way onscreen which I was happy with. There are scenes during the credits but nothing after! 7/10

My favorite character in DeadPool 2 is Peter. I laughed out loud a few times. It did dragged some in the middle, but made one of those rare recoveries. I was pleased when they showed Professor X's brother. The end credits, the last two I enjoyed the most. I up your score and say 8/10.

[Yes, the Juggernaut cameo was sweet! I also did like the brief cameo of the X-Men in the scene in the mansion. Too bad Stan Lee wasn't able to make his patented cameo but his face was printed along a building in one shot during the skydiving scene. I was a little surprised that they wiped almost the entire X-Force team 10 minutes or so after introducing them!

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY

To begin, I've never been heavily invested in the Star Wars spin-off movies and after watching SOLO last night, both this and ROGUE ONE pale in comparison to the saga with the exception of Episode I. Woody Harrleson was his normal, charming self. Donald Glover seamlessly stepped into the role of Lando Calrissian. Alden Ehrenreich did an admiral job as Han Solo, considering the shoes he's having to fill. Emilia Clarke and Paul Bettany were both enjoyable yet forgettable in their respective roles. The droid, in this film L3-37, is always a fan favorite and provides the necessary humor the film needs. And with any movie of this caliber and being made my Disney, the special FX were spot on. With all of the production problems that occurred, they were able to salvage a decent movie out of it. 6.5/10

DISOBEDIENCE

The tale of a woman, Rachel Weisz, who returns home after the death of her father. She is an Orthodox Jew and the entire community banished her when she was younger for a homosexual episode with another girl. This is her first time home since being banished and the adult version of the young girl whom she had the encounter with is played by Rachel McAdams. With Weisz's return, the old feelings between her and McAdams resurface. It's an interesting story about forbidden love within this religious community. Both Rachel's give good but not great performances. 6/10

That's the role that was landed to him (allegedly) from a high rank wiseguy..as depicted in The Godfather.

ALL EYEZ ON ME

This is what I find to be the problem with biopics, they seem to be a highlight reel of a person's life. They just reenact high or low periods and the story is very weak and seems to skip from one event to the next. That's the problem we have here. I thought Demetrius Shipp Jr. did a fine job as Tupac Shakur. Dominic L. Santana was fine as Suge Knight, however, I felt R. Marcos Taylor's portrayal from STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON was definitely more vicious and menacing. I feared him more than Santana. The costumes were on point as they looked very authentic, however the jewelry, not so much. Some of the more dramatic scenes were almost comical and for whatever reason, at times, this film seemed to have a made-for-TV feel to it. 5/10

It seems to be trying hard to be weird and impossible to understand, then to make it worse the ending left you even more confused. The movie was not scary at all, but the fact that the director is gaining a following does scare me.

I enjoyed MOTHER! I've only seen it once but have been interested in seeing it again. It's a religious metaphor and I was surprised I was able to grasp as much of it as I did. When everything is explained it definitely makes more sense (another reason I want to see it again). However, I've been a fan of Darren Aronofsky since I first saw REQUIEM FOR A DREAM.

UPGRADE

UPGRADE is a film about a man who seeks revenge after he's attacked and his wife killed (in front of his very eyes no less). The main star, Grey Trace (played by Logan Marshall-Green), is left a quadriplegic after the attack. He tries an experimental new technology called The Stem, that is inserted into his neck and allows him to regain the use of his body. The Stem also gives Grey abilities he didn't have prior to his accident. The set pieces of this films are at times breathtaking and I applaud the crew for their designs as well as the advancements in technology that are displayed onscreen. We're not given a year when this film takes place but computers and machines are relied upon even more than they are today and are capable enough to do almost any task. For some reason (maybe because of the over-the-top, brutal violence) I was reminded of CRANK while watching this. While there isn't as much action in this film as there was in the former, it's definitely still a very fun and enjoyable ride. I'm unsure how much business it'll do at the box office, but it's good popcorn flick and has been getting some positive reviews as well. 6/10

ACTION POINT

Johnny Knoxville is at it again, destroying his body for our amusement. And while the only decent funny scenes are those that are reminiscent of his Jackass days, this is an actual film and not just a bland story woven around his stunts. Unfortunately, the laughs in this are far and few in between. If this is something you're interested in seeing, this is definitely one to wait until it's available for streaming. The film takes place in 1979 so the soundtrack is pretty good with songs of this era. 4/10

Right, everything is a retread lately.

I watched The Original Universal WearWolf movie tonight...

WearWolf of London, never seen it..... was really good Classic Flick.

Svengoolie gave some interesting facts about the Director , Producer and Star having issues with the makeup Artist.

Werewolf of London is a classic and I am surprised you never seen until recently DP. Where do you think that Alamo joke came from? Everyone was saying it until it became political incorrect, but that was like two decades ago.

Nice. I've never seen it before. I still have the Universal Classic Monsters Blu-Ray I've been meaning to watch but I just haven't found the time. It has the original Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, etc.
