BORDERLANDS
SCI-FI/ACITON/ADVEVENTURE
PLOT: Female bounty hunter must find young girl who has incredible powers and teams up with group of misfits for help. Based on a very popular video game.
WHAT IS GOOD: Cate Blanchett as Lilith who is a bounty hunter. Never picture her as an action hero but she is an actress. Jack Black as the voice of Claptrap, a funny robot who that looks like a takeout noodle box from Chinese restaurant with a wheel! The crazy thing is Kevin Hart is NOT comic relief!!
WHAT IS WRONG: The bad guy is NOT very threatening; the violence is very intense for a PG-13 film.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: For the fans of the game is fun to watch on
DEMAND to see what they did wrong. It might
be good for others who don’t know the video game. Not the best but it is B-movie good!
DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE
ACTION/COMEDY/ADVENTURE
PLOT: Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) has to save the people he loves by teaming up with Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to save his timeline.
WHAT IS GOOD: Reynolds and Jackman are great as super buddies! Jackman, very serious while Reynolds is constantly joking around. There are also superhero cameos. Many inside jokes and Marvel fans will enjoy one scene which is a long time coming.
WHAT IS WRONG: The villains are not the best! The violence is very excessive and Deadpool has a very foul mouth!
SHOULD YOU
WATCH: If you are a Marvel fan-YES! Two of the most violent anti-superheroes of
all time together are worth watching.
TRAP
THRILLER
PLOT: Cooper (Josh Hartnett) is a great dad and a serial killer called “The Butcher”. He takes his daughter to see Lady Raven, a pop singer and plans to kill her too.
WHAT IS GOOD: M. Night Shyamalan who directed the Sixth Sense. He has the most creative ideas but most of the time it is not as good as the concept. Josh Hartnett as Cooper is creepy, considerate plus a great liar. He is very good. Saleka Shyamalan is great as Lady Raven who thinks quickly in a dangerous situations. She is the daughter of M. Night Shyamalan.
WHAT IS WRONG: The situations grow stranger than the last.
SHOULD YOU WATCH: If you are a
fan of M. Night Shyamalan you may enjoy it for it does have many intense
moments but over-the- top moments as too.
