Deadpool and Wolverine

 Yeah I enjoyed  film Reynold cleans up the mess that is the Marvel-Fox multiverse.  Wolverines Mask's being described as having blowjob handles-made me laugh.  Ditto ``I wish I was deaf''- The whole scene of  Deadpool using the corpse of Logan to find off the TVA were funny too Subtext is for cowards gig A pity they did not get Vinny Jones as Wolverine- Or maybe not.  Gambit's Cajun accent is shown as the horror it truly is.. Are there any Cajun's left? They seem to just exist for comedy now  I loathe American astrology The Deadpool  movies are pure generation X /Millenial nostalgia-The sweet wine of memberberries  ``It's a damn cold night .. '' The fight scenes are silly- Reynolds and Jackman have genuine chemistry. The argument in the car is one of my favorite scenes in the whole of the MCU. I am going to fight you now  I have seen Elektra in the cinema, I can remember absolutely nothing about it . It was nice to see ``little ears- Je...

Lassiter

  This is a Tom Selleck project to cash in on his fame, as Magnum. ITV used to show it reasonably often in their NightTime slot in the late 1990s. So I have seen it before I have not seen it for years The cast is not bad, not bad at all. Selleck, and Jane Seymour as well as Bob Hoskins, Warren Clarke in support.  The story is simple Selleck plays Lassiter an American jewel thief living in London in 1939. Lassiter  is strong armed by Special branch and the FBI into stealing diamonds from the German Embassy. The diamonds are going to be used to pay for Nazi subversion in South America.  Selleck has performed in a few historical dramas- Quigley, and Quigley Down Under- The High Road to China- and notoriously 1492 the Conquest of Paradise. Whence he plays Ferdiand of Aragon and won a razzie.  Harshly in my opinion. He has a few moments of screen time. Yes, Selleck looks nothing like the historical Ferdinand. Selleck is actually darker and swarthier -Selleck is there...
