This is what I like about the Deadpool franchise. It consistently and admirably makes fun of all the qualities that make superhero movies fun for us super nerds and geeks. Humor, a hot chick, fight scenes, cool soundtracks, cool superhero costumes, tug-at-the-heartstring moments, car chases, slow-motion, CG effects a large mansion, secret rooms, and a semi-climatic happy ending are on full display. Deadpool 2 delivers all that…AND an openly gay and plus-size teen superhero in the form of Brianna Hildebrand and Julian Dennison. It also makes a very strong statement regarding child abuse and how society shuns those they deem as different or dangerous. Sound familiar? Complete with cameos from…

Avengers: Infinity War is Exhilarating, Jaw Dropping Superhero Yumminess
I’m a geek. Yup. I said it out loud. I love superheroes and any movie that centers around one. So, when for the 10th anniversary of Marvel Studios they busted out with Avengers: Infinity War the suspense was simply more than I could bear! Let me tell you Marvel nor the film disappointed. I laughed. I gasped. I mourned. I cried. The gambit of emotions felt in the 2.5 hour epic was insurmountable and made for the best movie going experience EVER!!!! Avengers: Infinity War, the third installment in the “Avengers” franchise and 19th Marvel Studios film to date, marks the 10-year anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which began…

Why Black Panther is the Crown Jewel of the Marvel Franchise
Black Panther is hands down the best film in the Marvel Franchise!!! Why? Black Panther is on the road to do for Marvel what The Lion King did for Disney. The Lion King had Mufasa, Simba and The Pridelands…Black Panther has Wakanda, King T’Challa, Nakia and Killmonger. Black Panther also manages to show tender young love between a man and a woman, a man and his parents and unflinching love for one’s country no matter what the sacrifice. When I tell you that I wanted to run out and grab a flight to Wakanda and dwell in a place where people look like me and walk with pride in their…

Cate Blanchett is Hella Fantabulous in Marvel Studios’ THOR: RAGNAROK
Chris Hemsworth in all his glory and kitchiness is back as Thor and it is a riotous roller-coaster ride from start to finish. Complete with lines like “safe passage through the anus”, holograms and a spectacular fight sequence with Thor and The Hulk reckoning back to a little Mad Max Thunderdome action, I couldn’t help but giggle my way into complete enjoyment of this latest Thor installment. Clearly others agree, as it is the best reviewed Marvel movie of all time!!!! I loved this film! It took me right back to the Buck Rogers days! Thor essentially lands in the island of misfit toys and where everyone is completely unaware…
