Despite being a fairly popular character in the age of
superhero movies, the success of the Deadpool
in 2016 came as a shock to just about everyone. Of course, this success in
Hollywood means a sequel with a bigger budget and a ton of freedom. And despite
losing the director from the first film to the second, one piece remains
constant, Ryan Reynolds, that almost guarantees a fun film to some degree.

Breaking In - Review
Though options were limited this week, as studios stay far
away from the Avengers: Infinity War box
office dominance, the potential for a
decent time at the cinema was still there. Even a bad film, particularly a bad thriller,
can be fun if you let it, and Breaking In
looked to be just that type of film. With a slight twist on a tired home
invasion premise, the film had an uphill climb to start, and after an hour and
a half runtime, didn’t emerge as anything noteworthy.

Tully - Review
Assembling a film is never an easy task, but putting the
right pieces in place from the start can certainly help the process. Begin with
a writer and director that have teamed up in the past to deliver great films
like Young Adult and Juno, and then throw in the star of the
former for good measure. With a solid base of an excellent screenplay,
direction, and lead performance, there really is a minimal chance that Tully goes south.
