This is what life looks like. People who love each other. A home. You should take a moment... Feel it.

Hard. Perhaps that's the word that best describes my feelings with this picture. Hard to watch, hard to write about. When it ended, me and my friend Ly sat in silence, during all the credits. As part of a generation conditioned to expect something more after the ending credits of a superhero movie, part of me hoped that this wouldn't end there, and part of me was scared by that possibility. And there was nothing. That was it. So we got up, walked out, still not saying a single word, until we reached the bus stop and parted ways.…

Logan might be the greatest comic book man movie ever made. I compare Logan's journey to an aging gunfighter, all in for one more showdown with the devil. From the opening scene, you know why this movie had to be a hard-R. This is how you make an R-rated comic book man movie. This is how you make an action movie. This is how you go out like a boss. The way this year is going, 2017 is shaping up to be one of the most awesome years in action cinema, and the good news, it's only March.

Stunts. Story. Special effects. That's what I most admire about Logan. The realism of the stunt people (especially Dafne Keen's stunt double)…

The year is 2029, and the mutant formerly known as the Wolverine isn’t quite as invincible as he used to be. After being alive for almost 200 years, he’s finally starting to show his age. He’s haunted by something from his past (you’ll have to see the previous movies to find out what, or re-visit them to remember), and he hurts people in his dreams. He’s rotting from the inside out, he needs reading glasses, and his healing powers can’t keep up. He’s saved the world like eight times over, but he’s now a glorified Las Vegas Uber driver who cares more about his limo than he does his life. He may be the one guy on Earth who can’t…

31. To wrap up this month on a traditionally narcissistic note, watch any film rated 4.5 or 5 stars by yours truly :-)

My disdain for superhero movies is a matter of public record at this point; but I had heard such weird things about Logan when it first came out -- that it was a hard-R rating, that it took place in an apocalyptic future, that it was a movie quite literally about The Death Of Superheroes -- that since then I've always been curious about it in a way I'm not usually curious about superhero flicks, and thought it would make a…

Logan is a very different kind of superhero film than that of your standard MCU fare, and you can see exactly that from the opening scenes where our title character, Logan, better known as the mutant superhero Wolverine, slashes apart would-be muggers all while yelling out strong profanities.

Despite this, the R-rating to this movie isn't used cheaply. You never feel like the blood being spilled, the fucks being yelled, and the violence being shown is there without reason. Hugh Jackman portrays Logan perfectly, a tired and old man in a world he barely recognizes anymore.

The setting for this film is a bit complicated. While it takes place further into the future than 2013's The Wolverine, it seems to…
