Deadpool & Wolverine




 I didn't want Deadpool & Wolverine. Logan ended the character perfectly, and loving the 20th Century X Men films that was my closure. I knew Deadpool & Wolverine would be multiversal so i went in with an open mind. They show respect to Mangold's film while violating something else and it works perfectly. There is alot of heart in this flick and the cast is having a blast. Like most Deadpool/MCU films the jokes are hit & miss but the action is top notch and bloody as fuck. The plot sort of unravels as it goes on and it works for this films that exists in a disjointed universe. For the first time since Barbie & Oppenheimer it feels like a true event film and it delivers. The future of these characters are left open ended but the credits gives us a look at future's past.

Boy Kills World






 Boy Kills World uses a bit too much humor but this is one kick ass and fun flick. It feels like you are reading a comic. Sure it is a bit uneven but just roll with it and enjoy the dark humor and the badass fight scenes. The entire cast is having a blast here especially Bill Skarsgard, Jessica Rothe, and Bret Gelman. It was far from perfect but it easily killed in the entertainment aspect! 

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

 



The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare i suppose is Guy Ritchie's best work since The Gentleman, but since then most of his work has been quite lackluster, and for a summer blockbuster, so was this.....i mean i guess man blockbusters are....anyhow. It is quite stylish, the action is great, and Henry Cavil does a fine job but the plot was quite dull, it has a good pace to it, it's just a sunday afternoon movie....only on the Borefare side.

Love Lies Bleeding




 Love Lies Bleeding is a southern fried, lesbian & drug fueled slice of sexploitation with some gorgeous visuals and truly what the fuck moments. I admired the fuck out of this film but it honestly didn't do much for me. Acting was a bit wooden and the plot i wasn't into but i was still fascinated.

The Devil's Bath




 Stop me if you have heard this before.....a well shot & atmospheric film on Shudder that is boring and feels lifeless......stop me if i have even said THAT before. Well The Devil's Bath is the film this time around. It indeed looks fine, but oof, this was dull. More like the Dullvil's Boreth am i right? No? No?! No!? Okay.....well hopefully Arcadian saves the day.

Baghead




 Baghead is a gloriously atmospheric film but it is ultimately mind numbingly dull. It looks fantastic and has a cool vibe but i was quite bored by this. It had some interesting moments but nothing to honestly keep my interest. 

StopMotion




Stopmotion, on Shudder, looks fantastic. It oozes style, but it is sadly style over substance. The plot didn't do anything for me and none of the characters worked. I wanted more of a love letter i suppose but i get that isn't what the film was supposed to be, but whatever it was....didn't work.
