Once Upon a Deadpool 2018

★★ Watched 11 Dec, 2018

DEADPOOL 2 was fine enough on the first go-around, but save for the Fred Savage bits and a touching Stan Lee tribute, this thing is nearly unwatchable.

There was a time when the X-Men franchise was the best in the business. The first film, released in 2000, really was the first big-budget comic book-based film.

CHiPS 2017

★½ Watched 24 Mar, 2017

I have no problem with penis, gay or sexist jokes, but they have to be funny. Here, writer/director/producer/star Dax Shepard just throws the lowest of brow potty humor at the wall to see what sticks, and not much does.

Rosa Salazar is as cute and charming as anything, though.
