Deadpool & Wolverine - 死侍與金鋼狼

Deadpool And Wolverine (死侍與金鋼狼) is an 2024 movie. The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as the title characters respectively. The supporting cast include Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Shioli Kutsuna, and Lewis Tan. Cameo appearances from too many to name including Dafne Keen, Jennifer Garner, Channing Tatum, Chris Evans, Henry Cavill, Wesley Snipes, and Jon Favreau. The movie is the third Deadpool movie and unofficially the fourth Wolverine. This is also both their introductions into the MCU as the 34th film.



The movie takes place on Earth-10005, whereas the sacred timeline is Earth-616. Earth-10005 is in danger of ending because Logan’s death has caused that timeline to fracture and start to end. In order to save it, Deadpool must revive Logan. However, he is unable to revive the Earth-10005 Logan and is now sent to the void by the TVA. Before he’s sent to the void, Deadpool finds a Logan he thinks can replace Earth-10005’s. But both are sent back to the void. Deadpool now has to find a way back to his Earth and still it save with another earth’s Logan.

This film was insane because it does not follow the rules of movies. For example, breaking the fourth wall, referring to the characters by the actors name, talking about Disney many times and multiple references to the MCU.

I will say that the first half of the film, although amused, I was wondering where the story was going to go. And when they got to the void, I wondered how the story was going to progress. But the last third of the film brought all the loose end together. Was it a tight and bulletproof ending? No way, it just leaves you asking more questions, but do you care about the answers? The movie was so entertaining that all the story holes were kind of made acceptable.

This was a Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds movie. It was many elements of the previous two Deadpool’s, but even more this time around.

Peppermint - 血薄荷

Peppermint (血薄荷) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Jennifer Garner. The role returns Garner to our bad @$$ days on the television show Alias.

Peppermint is the story of an hard working mother played by Jennifer Garner as Riley. Riley and her husband struggle to make ends meat. Her husband is made a proposition to be a get away guy in a heist against the local drug dealer. The husband initially agrees, but later rejects the offer, not wanting to get involved. BUT the drug dealer finds out that he had agreed and decide to eliminate everyone that had even thought about it to send a message. That night, Riley goes to a fair with her husband and daughter. The gang does a drive by and kills her husband and daughter. Riley is also shot, but survives to try to take them down in court. However, during the trial, she realizes that everyone involved had been bought out by the gangs. Riley escapes and goes underground. 5 years later, she comes back as Peppermint and she wants revenge!

This is classic revenge flick. Riley is innocent and wronged, the system is bought and she suffers. She comes back for revenge against those that wronged her. Many a stories like this in martial arts and Japanese films in the 1970s. It still comes back from time to time, a la Kill Bill.

I enjoyed it, but am on the fence about recommending it. I loved Alias from back in the day, but its been a long time. Jennifer Garner is very likable too.

I picked this up via T-Mobile Tuesday Redbox Promo.
