DEADPOOL 2 Extended Cut is on the Way
Deadpool 2 hit theaters this past weekend, racking up a solid opening and setting it up for a lot of money. While we wait for the Merc’s return in X-Force and maybe a third solo film, we’ll be seeing a little more from the character beforehand. Director David Leitch confirms to CinemaBlend that an extended cut for Deadpool 2 is in the works. He says, “And I think that they may want to spin that out as a special thing, but right now I’m sort of… we’re taking our time, and it’s going back to the ‘director cut,’ and then sort of collaborating with Ryan [Reynolds], Rhett [Reese], and Paul [Wernick],…

FEATURE: Five STAR WARS Standalone Stories We Want to See
In addition to the core saga films, Disney is expanding the Star Wars franchise with many standalone movies. We got Rogue One in 2016, with Solo arriving soon. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi is getting his own film (eventually), The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson is overseeing a new trilogy, and a separate series from the Game of Thrones creators is in the works. There has also been talk of characters like Boba Fett, Yoda, and Jabba the Hutt getting their own spinoffs. But after that? The Star Wars universe is massive, and Disney has shown every intention to milk it dry. So, we’ll be seeing plenty of standalone movies in the future.…

Review: ROGUE ONE
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Directed By: Gareth Edwards Produced By: Kathleen Kennedy Simon Emanuel Allison Shearmur Yall have no idea how excited I was when Paul told us we could cover Star Wars. I was jumping up and down excited ok? Needless to say I am a huge Star Wars fan, have been for many years. So I have some bias. Ok maybe a lot more bias than most. But that’s mainly towards the expanded universe, which we might get to later down the road, but not today. Today we’re here to talk about Rogue One! Let’s talk about the characters first. We got some really awesome,…

ARROW Star Stephen Amell Teases the Goatee and a New Character in Season 7
[Warning: The Following Contains MAJOR SPOILERS From the Arrow Season 6 Finale.] So, the season six finale for Arrow really shook things up, in preparation for the show’s seventh season. In exchange for the FBI’s help in defeating Ricardo Diaz, Oliver Queen agreed not only to turn himself in, but to publicly announce that he is the Green Arrow. Whatever secret identity Oliver had is now gone forever. Oliver is now in prison, Quentin Lance is dead, and Diaz is still out there somewhere…albeit with his empire destroyed. Clearly, Arrow will look very different next season, and now, we have some hints to how. At Motor City Comic-Con (via ComicBook), series…

DEADPOOL 2 Wins the Weekend with Estimated $125 Million Opening
Deadpool 2 finally opened in theaters this weekend, earning mostly positive reviews from fans and critics. While the film has generated good word-of-mouth and had a big opening, it was a little smaller than expected. Per THR, Deadpool 2 opened with an estimated $125 million, easily beating Avengers: Infinity War (which grossed $28.7 million this weekend). The sequel was originally tracking for somewhere in the $130-150 million range, but its Saturday gross was lower than anticipated. Also, this puts it behind the original Deadpool, which opened to $132.4 in 2016. Nevertheless, this is the second-biggest R-rated opening in domestic history, and it’s the third biggest opening of the year so far (behind…

Review: DEADPOOL 2
Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool), brings together a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy of supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-traveling mutant, Cable. From the most interesting studio in the world, the one that killed Wolverine and is now property of Disney, comes Deadpool 2. The highly-anticipated sequel to 2016’s R-rated smash hit Deadpool has a new director in David Leitch (Atomic Blonde), a bigger budget to work with and a larger cast of characters, but is it able to hold a candle to its groundbreaking predecessor? Let’s find out. Sadly, I don’t think this sequel is as good as the first one. And yes, I’m aware that I gave the first a…

REVIEW: GREEN LANTERN (2011 aka The Bad One™)
Hey, WOBAMers. It’s your buddy Deadpool. What, you expected someone different? Like Pauly Boy? Michael Shrek? John Juan? Joke’s on you, nematodes. Isak was gonna write this one, but he had a prior engagement with my fists a Louisville Slugger, so I’m filling in on this one. Got it? Let’s go… Before I was this gorgeous red leatherman, I was lean and green. My name was Hal Jordan (God I love that name, it makes me sound so arrogant and full of myself). I was the best pilot out there. But before you could hear the microwave signal that the chimichanga’s ready, a purple alien (are we sure this takes place…
