DEADPOOL 2 Starring Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz,  T.J. Miller,  Brianna Hildebrand, Jack Kesy and Eddie Marsan Screenplay by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick and Ryan Reynolds Directed by David Leitch Reviewed by Patrick Gibbs     Out of Four I'm late to the party on Deadpool.

Spielberg and DiCaprio May Reteam for "Grant"

Variety  and  The Hollywood Reporter  tell us that Steven Spielberg is inearly talks to re-teams with his Catch Me If You Can Star  star for a biography of American Civil War general and later U.S. President Ullysses S. Grant. Jared Harris appeared as Grant in Spielberg's Oscar-winning  2012 drama Lincoln . The project is set up at Lionsgate through DiCaprio's Appian Way prouction company and would be based on the 2017 biography Grant , by Ron Chrenow. There is no word on where this would fit into Spielberg's already crowded schedule, with Indiana Jones 5 coming next, potentially followed by a remake of the classic musical West Side Story and the DC Comic adaptation Blackhawk.  A script for Grant is being developed by screenwriter David James Kelly, one of the writers of the upcoming Taron Edgerton-Jamie Foxx version of Robin Hood.

SOLO: A Star Wars Story Starring Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Joonas Suotamo and Paul Bettany Screenplay by Johnathan Kasdan and Lawrence Kasdan Directed by Ron Howard Reviewed by Paul & Patrick Gibbs   Out of Four As most people know by now, the second Star Wars  anthology film has been plagued by controversy since the surprise firing of the film's co-directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, best known as the directors of The Lego Movie and the 21 Jump Street films. The duo were quickly replaced by Academy Award winner Ron Howard, but this didn't stop the negative buzz on the internet, much of it centring around the film's star, young Alden Ehrenreich. Some internet fans were outraged and disappointed.  There was weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth and wild rumors that Ehrenreich couldn't act, complaints about Howard being a lousy director with no sense of style (a persi...
