The New Mutants is the last of the X-Men movies (for now). You know they will be rebooting this franchise at some point. It doesn’t feature any of the traditional X-Men you know and love. It’s an entirely new cast with faces you haven’t seen before and powers that are new. When I heard that…

I had seen X-Men Apocalypse in theaters when it came out in 2016. I remember it being a huge mess of a movie that didn’t make a lot of sense at the time. Re-watching it, I am happy to report that it was not as bad as I remembered. I’m unhappy to report that it…

From the opening credits of Deadpool, you realize that this is a departure from the traditional X-Men movies. The credits state that the movie is produced by Asshats and directed by An Overpaid Tool. I’m not joking, that’s really what it says. We are dropped immediately into the story with Wade AKA Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds)…

For some reason Logan interests me the most. I…

When you have a winning formula, you tend to stick with it. So it makes sense that Deadpool 2 uses the same witty banter and nonchalant, no shits given attitude as the first movie. The movie opens with Wade AKA Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) on a job where he fails to kill his target. Later that…

The very first X-Men movie. This was released way back in 2000. I can’t believe it’s been that long. I also can’t believe some actors reprised their roles for almost 20 years (cough, cough, Hugh Jackman). I vaguely remember watching this many, many years ago. But I have to say it was awesome to watch…
