(trailer review) - Deadpool and Wolverine

First of all, I should be sleeping but I got wind of this trailer and, well...I had to watch it, because, Deadpool? Anyway, this film has been a few years in the making and due to the pandemic and the writer's strike of 2023 (events that have delayed this movie), we have had two CEOs of Disney come in and leave (one left to come back) in the time this movie was thought of, being considered, written and shot, and we have heard nothing but rumours of potential characters, "confirmed" characters, leaks and pictures and videos and finally a teaser trailer is here for what is being called 'Deadpool & Wolverine'. I cannot say I am a fan of the name, but whatever, it still looks pretty decent.

The trailer starts off with a line directed to us, the viewers/audience, that although this is now a Disney movie, this movie is not for kids, and I love it! From what I understand from this teaser trailer is that...a Deadpool from a different timeline has been called by the TVA (Time Variants Authority) to help clean up the timeline to be a hero just like the Avengers, maybe? The biggest of questions become, who from the Loki series (which was all about the TVA) will appear in this movie. As we see the Fox logo in the background, does this imply a fight between Deadpool and the X-Men? And one of the X-Men's most popular characters is Wolverine. As this is a teaser trailer, we don't even see Wolverine, but it would be great to see the first official trailer to understand where we are going with the storyline. Thus far, this looks like it is going to be really really funny. Maybe this movie will knock the MCU out of its slump.

(trailer review) - A Quiet Place: Day One

I think I watched 'A Quiet Place' for the first time at a friend's house. I feel like I remember everything about that week and what led up to me watching it. I remember having not gone to the cinema to watch it for whatever reasons and having such a great weekend, I was starting to have a terrible week. It was December 7th and I had recently seen the trailer to Birdbox. There was a lot of buzz around the Birdbox movie and although I do think Sandra Bullock is a great actress, I was not at all bothered about the movie because I kept hearing how 'A Quiet Place' is a great movie and how it was a better Birdbox movie, I just had not seen it yet. So I am at my friend's house and we are watching it and the staircase scene comes and I swear, I have never been so traumatized. Then you had the bathtub scene. You could cut the tension. From that moment, I knew the film was a winner so when the sequel came out, I did not hesitate to watch it. I loved the sequel also (although I feel the first one is untouchable) so when I heard the guy from WandaVision and Ant-Man *he smiles* was doing a sequel set back to when it all started, I knew I was down.

Phenomenal. This trailer gives me Hollywood big budget horror and somewhat, a catastrophe vibe like a Cloverfield (which is literally the best comparison I can think of actually). Someone is minding their own business, aliens come down and wreck everything and everyone in quick succession. There is a scene in A Quiet Place Part 2 in the town and it is panic and pandemonium, this trailer is that scene turned up to 11. Lupita is a star and to also have D'jimon as well and that scene at the end with all the aliens walking/running (coming down the building) towards everyone whilst they are looking up... if that is not enough to unsettle you, I can only imagine there will be more like this and there will be tension moments like the moment she coughed and he covered her mouth. I honestly do not think I could look forward to anything any more than I am already looking forward to this. I cannot wait.
