Deadpool & Deadpool 2 (Blu-Ray)

We all know the quick quips and laugh out loud antics of Deadpool, so I'll keep it short. Wade Wilson develops cancer which spreads throughout his body, then he is contacted by one of Ajax's men to recruit him into a mutant gene group. Wade releases that the organization is pretty bad, trapping him in a glass tank which starves Wade from oxygen forcing his mutant genes to reveal themselves. Wade plans to escape, which causes the building to explode and his mutant genes to active; rapidly accelerating the caner's power, but allow his body to heal itself at the same rate. Wade then goes on a bloodbath goose chase looking for Ajax to get his revenge. In the second Deadpool Movie, Deadpool joins the X-Men after Vanessa is killed by henchmen and Deadpool wasn't able to stop them. Not liking the methods of the X-Men, Deadpool and Weasel set up X-Force and recruit mutants to do good and save the fate of Firefist. Making the ultimate sacrifices to do something good in the world.

Bohemian Rhapsody (Cinema)

Retelling the true story of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen. Starting in 1970, Freddie Mercury is working at Heathrow Airport and following the college band “Smile”, featuring Roger Taylor & Brain May. After following them for a while, Freddie asks the band to sing his songs, but they end up allowing him to perform with them as their lead singer quit the band. The crowd end up loving Freddie Mercury and a couple of years later, the renamed “Queen”, have their first album and sell out, later recording the poetic epic “Bohemian Rhapsody”. Later showing Freddie's discovery of being gay, Freddie's struggles with life and the band which resulted in Freddie's split from the band to go solo, then regrouping to preform at Live Aid. The cinematography was spot on. Full stop. Just great. Rami Malek's performance of the legendary Freddie Mercury is scarily accurate and excellent. But the music has been remastered and performed amazingly. Now I have always loved Queen, with Freddie Mercury being one of my all time heroes, so I am probably going to be biased, but this is the must watch film of the year. 10/10

With Stan Lee passing away on the 12th of November, on my birthday no less, it kinda gave me a sappy feeling. I was sometimes find myself in dark times when I was younger which lead me to read comic books and watch films, mostly about Superheroes. Stan Lee was my hero. His company saved me while I was in dark times, so I kinda thought it was my duty to save Stan Lee. Yes, I know it sounds sappy and stupid, but it was just something I needed to do. This is dedicated to one of my heroes, the King of Cameos, the Godfather of Comic Books, Stan Lee.
