Box Office Updates for DEADPOOL 2 and SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY
This weekend has been dominated by new release Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and last week’s Incredibles 2, but some other movies have reached key box office milestones. Per Box Office Mojo, Fox’s Deadpool 2 took in an estimated $5.3 million this weekend, bringing its domestic total to $304.2 million. It also reached $403 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total to $707.2 million. While it’s still lagging a bit behind the first film, these are impressive numbers, particularly when you consider the amount of competition this summer. Things don’t look nearly as good for Solo: A Star Wars Story, however. The film grossed an additional $4.5 million this weekend, finally edging it…

Why the X-Men Should Not Join the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Yes, you read the title right. Don’t get me wrong. I like Marvel Cinematic Universe. I might not like some of them, but I am a fan. I can even go so far that Marvel could probably do wonders with the X-Men. But why then don’t I want the X-Men in the MCU? Well, that’s the entire point of this article. So with no further ado, let’s get going. A) X-Men wasn’t there when MCU started.Introducing X-Men is not the same thing as introducing the likes of Spider-Man, Fantastic Four. Both of these people are just several people. You can easily adapt them in. That’s not the case with the X-Men.…

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],…

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…

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Review
I didn’t want to watch this. But what can you do when you have someone pointing two katanas at you while strapping you down with the help of ducktape. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a failed attempt of this katana-wielding supposed best friend. While I can’t see how this individual has a best friend (I’m kidding I’m kidding Mr. Pool), I have to admit that this truly is a failure of a movie. The movie starts off strong with the backstory of Wolverine (played by the everyone’s favorite Austrailian actor Hugh Jackman) and Sabertooth (played by Live Schreiber), two mutant brothers born in the 1800s (not the best time for mutants,…
