What the ASS?! After years of development, it took leaked test footage to get one of the most successful R-rated films of all time.  And while still actively canon to the MCU, Deadpool also represents the now defunct Fox X-Men franchise which is eligible for our review!

PREQUELITIS!  This week we're going back to 2009 for the Writers' Strike Special:  X-Men Origins: Wolverine.  Come see how a boy named James gets all his iconic things:  his names Logan and Wolverine, his mortal enemy, his sayings, his claws, his jacket, his belt buckle, his catchy phrases, his dubious morals, his motorcycle, and his lack of memories!  Logan forgot the events of this film, but we sure haven&...

Madame Web, Madame Web, does whatever a blind lady hooked up to a web of life-support who can predict the future and is intrinsically related to Spider-Man does!  This movie may be dead-on-arrival for most, but we wouldn't be us if we didn't give it the time of day!
