Review: LOGAN, Superheroes Aren't Just for Kids Anymore
Tough, tense, thoughtful, and terrific, Logan is truly the first superhero movie for adults, not for kids or arrested adolescents. Granted, it's best for adults who have a tolerance for bloody, vicious violence. One of the characters claims the violence...
Review: In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, Greed Is God

Review: DEADPOOL, A Marvellous Meta Movie With A Mouth
Although it is cut from the same cloth as other superhero origin stories before it, both in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and X-Men world, Deadpool prefers its material vibrant, filled with polka dots and stained with blood. Ryan Reynolds plays...

Destroy All Monsters: Death And The Superhero

Destroy All Monsters: Superheroes Last All Summer Long
Note: Major spoilers for X-Men 7 follow. In the last scene of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Wolverine wanders through X-Men Heaven, distinguishable from the church at the end of LOST only by the absence of pan-theistic iconography in the...

Review: X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, Grim Yet Satisfactory

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST: Watch The Japanese Teaser
To put it mildly, I did not like the first trailer for Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days Of Future Past. At all. Enough so that I was hesitant to click on the new Japanese teaser for the film. I don't like...
