Hide and seek !
Marvel can do no wrong . Again , the comic book inspired juggernaut unleashes yet another superhero movie aimed at the masses with Deadpool 2 . Lucky 20th Century Fox wisely upped the budget and delivers the goods in this action spectacular now serving up delights at Cineplex theatres across B . C .
Disfigured malcontent Wade Wilson resurfaces and this time our likeable Deadpool has his work cut out for him . From out of nowhere Vancouver golden boy Ryan Reynolds smirks his way into our hearts as our favourite red-suited crime fighter extraordinaire . Lost in love in all the wrong places Deadpool 2 gives more time for character development this time out . A special bond between Wade and his lady love is shortlived as our profanity laced wise-cracking seemingly indestructible dogooder winds up fighting a host of baddies with nasty mutant streams .
Full of action , laughs and gags Deadpool 2 is a lot of fun and a blast to watch . Sheer insanity unfolds as a new team of heroes not zeroes locks horns with X-Men malcontents in a fight to the finish to save all our lost souls . Adding fuel to the fire is Josh Brolon as a menacing Cable . Director David Leitch has a field day with the overall tone and adrenalin-pumped action sequences including an edge of your seat vehicle chase that many Vancouverites will remember all too well .
Non-stop fun and excitement heads your way courtesy of Deadpool 2 , ideal summer popcorn entertainment . ●
Book Club ( PG ) ****
Free spirits !
Books have the novelty of fuelling our imagination . Some luck out and even makes it to the silver screen . Hello Ian Fleming and his famous James Bond 007 series , See the sparks fly as four over the hill (?) women take on a controversial bestseller that may just change their lives in Book Club . Forget about Oprah ’ s G-rated family stories . Keep your jaws in check as the laughs fly fast and furious in this hilarious romp from Paramount Pictures now drawing rave reviews at the International Village Cinemas and countless Cineplex Cinemas around B . C .
With a cast featuring Jane Fonda , Diane Keaton , Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen you just can ’ t go wrong . And you don ’ t . Thanks to sparkling writing that everyone can relate to we see the “ transformation ” this quartet of otherwise normal women with careers and families embark upon when a simple reading of Fifty Shades of Gray gets them motivated to try one last time to find love .
Call Book Club a wake-up call for people caught in loveless relationships . What ’ s wrong with a little sizzle . Despite some initial reluctance caution is thrown to the wind as each of these ladies embark on a personal crusade to get a little lust back in Their lives . And Heaven help anyone who dares to get in their way .
Effective writing and some man (?) love from the likes of Don Johnson and Nespresso ’ s own Andy Garcia put their own charm offensive to good use in this tasteful utterly hilarious tale of some senior citizens out to have some fun - with spectacular laughs coming your way . ●
