Deadpool & Wolverine
They chose the wrong title.
Should have been
"Deadpool versus, with, on top of, from behind, Wolverine."And I haven't even seen the movie yet.

Rick Rossovich was pretty #jacked but after a day of playing beach volleyball with the boys he made the mistake of trying to wrestle a terminator.
RIP Rick

i had the misfortune of watching "American Underdog - The Kurt Warner Story" last night.
god it's lucky i had a couple of wines, what a boring load of shit. You can tell that Kurt and his wife had a fair say in teh writing. It was actually far less preachy than i was expecting given Kurt's previous utterances, and it being produced by a Christian movie company.
This dude actually has an interesting story to tell. But this movie ain't it. According to this film, Kurt got picked because heart, and it was his time. Kurt, it could also have been all the fucking football you played, all over the place.
Also, can you tell me why you didn't have any money at all if you went to college for 5 years? is it because you are a selfish asshole?
The NFL is a sport that makes fucking great movies. This is not one of them. Avoid at all costs.
Watched it a while back.
Pretty much agree with everything you say. Gave it a pass mark, but barely.
Enjoyed it in a cheesy kind of way.
I didn't dig Zachary Levi as Warner. Just has this look on his face the whole time like he's about to crack some kind of comic routine, so it was hard to take him seriously.

The Iron Claw
Definitely keen to see this one as during lockdown I spent hour upon hour googling what became of 80s wrestlers and the tragedies that befell so many of their lives, none more so than this family.
Old Man Fritz was a grumpy old arse who lived vicariously through his sons but to lose five out of six of them ( only four out of five in the movie, they toned it down slightly ) would have been heartbreaking.
They probably should have cast much bigger lunkheads as the wrestlers ( especially the midget who played Kerry ) but Zac Efron was in terrific shape and looked great in the wrestling scenes. ( again, he looks absolutely nothing like Kevin Von Erich but oh well )
Decent solid watch
3 dropkicks out of 5 clotheslines off the top rope

Deadpool and Wolverine. Enjoyed it immensely. Highly entertained and laughed out loud several times. Not sure you can really call this Marvel because no other Marvel film could get away with it.
It was funny driving home from the film with my son we were both a bit puzzled about what we had just watched. It really was completely all over the place. Whatever. Did the job. Really good chemistry between the 2 leads and some outstanding cameos.

I'd suggest D & W is one of the most recent multiverse cameos with interspersed CGI highlights out there.
But oh the ropey plotholes. Far too much CGI but then again I honestly thought the dog was CGI.
Thought the humour tried too hard and was better integrated in the first two movies. Elektra still looked fit, but that was a boring big crowd fight scene. That French or Creole accent that Tatum delivered was shocking but perhaps that was the joke. Impressed with Hugh "Jackedman" at the age of 55 or 56. He's got some fitness trainer. And Blake Lively was hot. Missed Nathan Fillion and didn't realize Kid Deadpool was actually Kid Reynolds.
Reckon they'll bring back Wesley Snipes.

I'm a sucker for a sport film, and I got sucked into The Long Game, a movie about a high school golf team full of Mexican kids who battle against the odds to compete against the establishment in 1950s Texas. Stars Denis Hernandez, Dennis Quaid with Cheech Marin in a supporting role

At the other end of the spectrum, I watched a recent offering on Netflix, Hidden Strike with John Cena and Jackie Chan. Produced by a Mainland Chinese group, like any bad Chinese copy it was a poor version of your stock standard action film. 90 minutes of my life I won't get back

Just no. Fuck fucking no. No.

I saw the movie with a native Chinese speaker. Mainland Cheese would accurately describe the dialogue and the pronounciation.. "Burnt out binfire"
would describe the plot... -
Ok so my last review was of the worst movie I had seen in ages. Well, we damn near topped it.
The Beekeeper.
Jason statham playing Jason Statham, this time taking down cyber criminals.
This movie is fuuuucking terrible.
It was either written by AI, or some boomer who is scared of computers. In fact, the cyber criminals looked like updated versions of thr guys from Hackers.
Throw in for some reason a bunch of TMNT villains for additional ridiculousness
It's fucking awful. Do not fucking watch this movie. -

It's fucking awful. Do not fucking watch this movie.I sort of thought it was inevitable he would join Liam Neeson, Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Gerard Butler and Nicholas Cage in playing himself playing himself….
Fuck I miss the glory days of 80s and to a slightly lesser extent 90s action movies.
