Make America Hate Again. First up…
Captain America: Civil War
The good thing about being resuscitated
today is Captain America and Bucky no longer have to hide their gay
relationship.
Mind you, this action/fantasy still plays
it as a brotherly bond.
When someone gains access to the Winter
Soldier’s (Sebastian Stan) trigger words, they order him to attack a UN
conference on the registration of enhanced humans.
Now Cap (Chris Evans) and some like-minded
Avengers (Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Jeremy Renner) are opposing Iron Man
(Robert Downey, Jr.) and the rest (Scarlett Johansson, Paul Bettany, Don
Cheadle) in order to protect Bucky, and their right to fight ungoverned.
While it’s the third entry in the Cap
franchise, Civil War feels like a mini Avengers movie considering the number of
cameos in it. Fortunately, Cap remains at the forefront of this multifaceted
and masterfully crafted chapter.
However, unlike America’s other Civil War
this version has a serious lack of Mutton Chops. Green Light
The Conjuring 2
The biggest difference between American and
British ghosts is the latter stops haunting you at teatime.
However, this horror movie doesn’t divulge
if its phantoms take 1 lump or 2.
Amityville experts Ed and Lorraine Warren
(Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga) are dispatched by the Vatican to investigate a
demonic possession across the pond.
However, Lorraine is hesitant in helping a
mum (Frances O'Connor) rid her daughter (Madison Wolfe) of a demon due to a
prophetic dream she had involving Ed’s death.
While she eventually agrees to participant,
the case it self may not be as supernatural as they first thought.
Based on one of Britain’s most notorious
hauntings, this somewhat factual sequel is enhanced by the ambiguity of the
Enfield occurrences themselves. Meanwhile, the reprising leads remain magnetic,
and the scares are more mature than most.
Furthermore, once Brexit kicks in most all
of England’s ghosts are going to emigrate.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
The reason Canadian singers move to the
States to work is because they’re sick of being paid in bags of loonies.
Mind you, the performer in this comedy is
only parodying a Canuck crooner.
When his latest album drops like a lead
balloon, b-boy turned pompous pop star Conner4Real (Andy Samberg) is left
reeling.
Desperate to become relevant for his
singing instead of embarrassing stage mishaps, Conner begrudgingly reconnects
with the crew (Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone) responsible for his early hits.
But can the reunion withstand the constant
call for Conner to remain solo?
A rockumentary in every sense of the
made-up word, Popstar’s style, including endless celebrity interviews and
raunchy road antics, lives up to its designation. But that doesn’t mean that
every joke in this hipster comedy works – in fact, very far from it.
And, as always, when an old band reunites casinos across the country get wet.

The Fly
The downside to being a fly on the wall is
overhearing everyone talk about what a disgusting freak you’ve become.
Something the mutating scientist in this
horror-fantasy knows all too well about.
While drunk and upset one night over his
girlfriend (Geena Davis) seeing her ex, inventor Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) uses
himself as a test subject in his telepods.
However, a housefly caught in the
experiment causes Brundle to transmute into a hybrid. Initially excited over
his newfound strength and wall-crawling abilities, the thrill turns to madness
as the insect’s brain takes hold.
Director David Cronenberg’s subtle simile
for sexually transmitted diseases, this visceral and cerebral reimagining of
the Vincent Price horror classic features groundbreaking effects and
award-winning make-up that detail the stomach-turning progression from
man-to-bug that wasn’t possible in 1958.
And on the brightside, as a fly you no
longer care about the fecal matter content of restaurant food.
He’s a Taste Test Subject. He's the...
