"Deadpool" Trailer Officially Released!

Last night, the first official trailer for the upcoming Deadpool film has hit the web and it did not disappoint. Deadpool has been a character that has become wildly popular in recent years and when the terrible X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out in 2009, fans everywhere lost their mind at the way that they butchered the Deadpool character. Ever since then, no one has been pushing harder for this movie to get made than Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds. This trailer is evidence of how passionate he is about this character and shows just how hard he wants to redeem it. And it's not just this trailer, but all of the lead up to it, whether it was his little skit with Mario Lopez or the trailer announcement or the tag that came with the Fantastic Four trailer, it has all been done perfectly.

Now onto the trailer itself, I should say that it doesn't reveal much about the actual story, which is perfectly fine because it is just the first trailer. It tells us just enough about who Wade Wilson is and how he becomes the anti-hero Deadpool, and then we are hit with a bunch of action sequences and jokes that serve the purpose of showing what kind of movie this will be. It was cool seeing Colossus in there, and I'm extremely curious to see how they explain him being there or what his purpose will be. It was also great to see some of the shots from the original leaked footage that surfaced at last years Comic-Con. All-in-all, this was a fantastic first trailer and shows a lot of promise for what could be one of the most fun superhero movies we've ever had.

After seeing this trailer, it's hard to imagine that they even considered making this film a PG-13 because I think that that would have taken so much away from who this character is and could have sucked the life out of him. Luckily, they ultimately went with the R rating and we get to see an all-out version of the "Merc with a Mouth". It should be noted that this won't be your typical superhero film, but that's not a bad thing. It is actually refreshing to see Fox take this genre in a different direction and simply make a wild and fun movie. There are at least 7 superhero movies coming out in 2016, and Deadpool just catapulted itself into my top-3 most anticipated  of the year.

Have You Seen It? 2011's "Crazy, Stupid, Love."

Image via Wikipedia Crazy, Stupid, Love.  stars Steve Carell as Cal, an everyday man who is going through a divorce from his wife of 25 years, Emily (Julianne Moore). While drinking away his sorrows at a bar, he comes across Jacob (Ryan Gosling), a suave womanizer who offers to help Cal rediscover his manhood. As Jacob helps Cal navigate through his newfound sex-life, he meets Hannah (Emma Stone), who he describes to Cal as a "game changer " for him. As the friendship between Cal and Jacob progresses, they each discover things about themselves that they didn't know where there all along. Crazy, Stupid, Love.  is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated movies in the past 5 years and it's one of many movies that I always urge people to go out and see. It's a romantic comedy but it's different than your typical rom-com and contains some awesome twists that hit you without warning. It's a very funny movie that shows you multiple stories that all...

Film Review: "Avengers: Infinity War" (Non-Spoiler)

For the past ten years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been steadily building a world in which superheroes and supervillains could live in. In that time, audiences have seen these heroes put their lives on the line in order to save the world, over and over again. These heroes have grown and matured right before the eyes of audiences who have done the same. Fans of the MCU have invested countless hours watching and debating the events of every film within this cinematic universe. Now, a decade and 18 films later,  Avengers: Infinity War  is here to tie every single one of those films together. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo,  Avengers: Infinity War  isn’t just a culmination of everything that Marvel has done, it is its most daring film to date. The MCU has gone beyond the physical world, having proven that these characters can travel across time, space and even different dimensions. This is the first time, however, where they attempt to bring all of that int...

"The Avengers: Age of Ultron"

(Picture via Bing Images) Before we get started, let's get one thing out of the way: I absolutely love the first "Avengers" film. It is a very special movie for me and in many ways it is the reason why I am writing here today. Inevitably, people will always ask if the second movie was better to the original, so as I compare "Age of Ultron" to it, keep in mind the high regard in which I hold the original. In my eyes, "Age of Ultron" is just slightly better. While some might disagree, the fact that this is an argument that can be had says a lot about this film. ***WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD*** "The Avengers: Age of Ultron", directed by Joss Whedon, kicks off with a fantastic action scene that serves as a way to show the viewer that this is not the team's first mission together since the last film. Instead, we are told that this is actually the last in many missions together to find Loki's scepter. The action itself is also very c...
