"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...

The Best and Worst Films of the Year (Pre-Oscar Season)

With the "Oscar Season" about to start, I thought I would give a list of my favorite movies of the year so far as well as the most disappointing ones. This list will obviously only contain films that I have seen so movies like Ex-Machina , Me and Earl and the Dying Girl , and Dope , which all seem like terrific movies, will not be on my list because I don't yet have an opinion on them. This list also reflects only my opinion so it will look a lot different than your list or somebody else's list, but the beautiful thing about film is that it is subjective and everybody will have different opinions. So while you may not agree with my picks, others might. There is no right or wrong list when it comes to movies. I will start off with my 3 most disappointing movies before talking about what I feel are the top 10 best  movies of the year so far. So without further ado, here are my lists: Top 3 Most Disappointing Films 3. Aloha Going into this movie, I thought there co...

Classic Movie Monday: "Rear Window" vs "Disturbia"

There are certain classics that, in theory, should be much harder to re-imagine than others. Often times, it’s very difficult to modernize certain aspects of a story, whether it be the topic or story plot. By all accounts, Alfred Hitchcock’s mystery thriller Rear Window should have been difficult to adapt in 2007. Rear Window ’s plot makes the film date itself more than other Hitchcock films. At the center of the 1954 film, which stars James Stewart, is L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries, a photographer whose broken-leg forces him to be wheelchair-bound and unable to leave his house. Having nothing else to do, Jeff passes the time by spying on the people from the apartment complex across from his. When he sees what he believes to be a murder at the hands of a man named Thorwald, Jeff takes it upon himself to solve the crime. Rear Window remains one of Hitchcock’s most decorated films, so it is no surprise that eventually someone would try and remake it. The question, however, is how? The idea...
