Captain America: Civil War Takes on Another Adult Theme & Nails It
The Captain America movies have really impressed me. They went from being my least favorite of the Marvel mini-franchises to my favorite in the space of two movies (even though Cap is still not my favorite Avenger), and they've done it primarily through the incorporation of much more adult themes.
Hail, Caesar - Too Many Stories, Not Enough Time
I feel like I have to start this review with my biggest complaint about this movie - I didn't get what I expected to get.
Deadpool Kicks Ass, Takes Names, Unfortunately Does Not Eat Tacos
Look, when you go to a Deadpool movie, you don't expect a fancy, original plot with surprise twists. You go to watch Deadpool kick ass, rattle off profanity-laden one-liners and then kick some more ass. Preferably all at once. So while my biggest quibble with the Deadpool movie is its tired, un-original plotline, you kind of can't be mad at it.
Review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The earliest movie I can remember seeing as a child is Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. (Unlike most children, my favorite scene was actually the Sarlaac Pit - still not sure what that says about me.) I spent a lot of time playing Star Wars with siblings, cousins and friends. But there were no female heroes for me to play as. I didn't want to be Leia; I wanted to be a Jedi, or maybe a Sith. I wanted a lightsaber.
