Deadpool
Ryan Reynolds stars in this unconventional superhero movie coming out Friday.
After Wade Wilson (Reynolds) is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he gets a painful operation that somehow gives him incredible healing powers, making it impossible for him to die. Teamed up with two powerful X-Men, Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Deadpool fights to find and destroy the man who turned him into the monster he is.
This movie is much different than the typical superhero movie, touting more gore and violence while breaking the fourth wall on multiple occasions. Action and science fiction fans alike should be excited to see this fast paced flick.
How to be Single
Rebel Wilson returns to the big screen after Pitch Perfect 2 in this romantic comedy featuring quirky, boring Alice (played by Dakota Johnson).
Alice recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend, deciding she needed a break. Naturally, she packs her bags and moves to New York City where she becomes a paralegal. Since Alice isn’t accustomed to playing the field, a co-worker Robin (Wilson) teaches Alice how to get free drinks, make men swoon and enjoy the single lifestyle.
Unsurprisingly, this movie follows the stereotypical romantic comedy mold. A woman is uptight but is taught to be let loose by her more fun friend, then this woman finds the man of her dreams over the span of two hours after awkward dates and dramatic misunderstandings.
Viewers shouldn’t expect a cohesive plot, but cheap laughs should be littered throughout this ordinary film.
Zoolander 2
This film, functioning as a sequel for the first “Zoolander,” which came out 15 years ago, stars the two male models Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) as they try to save the world.
Many favorites from the first film are back, Will Ferrell, along with new faces like Penelope Cruz and Kristen Wiig. The film is set in a world when all the world’s beautiful people are getting killed and only Zoolander can save the day along with Hansel and Valentina.
People who loved the first installment should expect a lot of inside jokes sprinkled throughout the film with new comedy accompanying the modern age. Moviegoers might like the explosions, ridiculous over-the-top characters or the death of Justin Bieber at the beginning of the movie.
