Movie Review: SPIRITED

SPIRITED Director: Sean AndersStarring: Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell, Octavia Spencer, Tracy Morgan, Sunita Mani, Patrick Page, Loren G. Woods, Joe Tippitt There have been countless iterations of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol over the last few decades, but that never stops filmmakers from adding their own spin to this tale. The new film Spirited is a musical version with Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell plays the familiar role of the Ghost of Christmas Present. He has a dedicated staff of support ghosts who visit different types of scrooges during the holiday season. After they make someone a better person, like crotchety neighbor Karen,Read More →

Movie Review: THE ADAM PROJECT

THE ADAM PROJECT Director: Shawn LevyStarring: Ryan Reynolds, Walker Scobell, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Catherine Keener, Zoe Saldana Time travel exists. You just don’t know it yet. That’s what we’re told at the beginning of Ryan Reynold’s new film The Adam Project. Newcomer Walker Scobell plays Young Adam who can’t seem to catch a break. He’s beaten up at school, bickers with his mom, and is still mourning the death of his dad. He’s at the prime age of 12 when life seems even more heightened. He and his dog go investigate a strange noise outside and encounter a strange man in his dad’s garage.Read More →

Movie Review: RED NOTICE

RED NOTICE Director: Rawson Marshall ThurberStarring: Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Ritu Arya, Chris Diamantopoulos If I told you Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds were starring in a buddy action comedy wrapped up in a jewel heist scheme, you could probably plot out their entire new film Red Notice. It’s been said that Antony had gifted Cleopatra three bedazzled eggs. Many thought it was merely an urban legend until two eggs were found. The location of the third remains a mystery. These eggs come center stage for a master thief who goes by the name The Bishop, she’s played by Gal Gadot.  Hot onRead More →

Movie Review: THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD

THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD Director: Patrick Hughes Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek, Elodie Yung “Why are we always yelling?” This is a quote from Ryan Reynolds to Samuel L. Jackson’s character late in the movie. This pretty much sums up the entire movie. If you’re familiar with the roles Reynolds and Jackson are known for, that’s essentially what you get here with two hours of yelling. They make up the title pair with Jackson playing Darius Kincaid, a well-known hitman who has been sentenced to life behind bars. He becomes an important player in the trial of Belarus leader Vladislav DukhovichRead More →

Movie Review: LIFE

LIFE Director: David Espinosa Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, Ariyon Bakare, Olga Dihovichnaya, Hiroyuki Sanada Space exploration movies feel like they’re all the rage right now. Unfortunately, they can’t all be as great as 2013’s Gravity. With Passengers last year and now Life, I’m wondering if they’ve run their course for the time being or if we can’t figure out a new story to tell. Maybe the ambiguous one word titles have something to do with it. Life boasts a fun crew with Jake Gyllenhaal and Rebecca Ferguson leading the team on an international space station. They’re returning from a mission to MarsRead More →

Movie Review: DEADPOOL

DEADPOOL Director: Tim Miller Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein, Stefan Kapicic, Brianna Hildebrand Fans have been clamoring for a proper Deadpool movie for years after Ryan Reynolds first played a version of the character in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That movie has finally come, and according to the audience I saw it with, they loved it. Ryan Reynolds stars as Wade Wilson who was just your standard guy who met a girl (Baccarin) and fell in love. Part of that was due to with his work as a mercenary protecting women from stalkers. If I remember correctly, this may be one ofRead More →

DEADPOOL Director: Tim Miller Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Morena Bacarin, Gina Carano, T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein, Leslie Uggams We first laid eyes upon Wade Wilson aka Deadpool when Ryan Reynolds played him in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It was a small part in a baaaad movie.

It’s been highly anticipated since it premiered at Comic-Con a few weeks ago. The buzz was huge and it received a massive applause from the fans due to its tone and carnage.Read More →
