The new R-rated Marvel offering within “Deadpool & Wolverine” isboth interesting, surprising, funny, intense but also very scattered. There is still a scrappy nature to Deadpool but oddly enough what starts out as more subversive becomes less so as it goes along. While there is a kind of dance to this especially with the two leads,  it becomes more about Jackman/Reynolds than about Deadpool/Wolverine.

The aspect of creating a néw perspective on “Twister” 30 years after the original is a different conundrum. Weather has changed. Technology has charged. But people really haven’t. While this version in “Twisters” might be more woke per se, it doesn’t quite have the jolt of fun the original had. Whether this has to do with the actors involved or the differing directors is hard to say.

The initial texture of “Fly Me To The Moon” has some interesting tendencies. Scarlett Johansson is brought in as a PR spinner to help make NASA a cool, well-oiled machine. The irony or play of the element within the story is what gives it pause. Realistically, in the character build and execution, it makes total sense and as a character piece, it is very contextual. But to build such a large scale film around this kind of story is an interesting risk

The aspect of the original "Inside Out" was the uniqueness of approaching emotions inside the mind as a sense of self. However, there was a sense of the unknown in the first movie where it was making the mythology as it was building the world. "Inside Out 2" is, in some ways, more complex but in other ways less so.

The context of Mad Max is to make the path as undeniable as it can be. There was something about "Mad Max: Fury Road". It had issues but it was a force of nature. George Miller willed that film into being. Comparing it to "Furiosa" is sort of hard to do. It is about path.

The idea of imagined friends has been the texture of some fantasy films. It can be used as a metaphor of self or an element of dealing with trauma or crisis. Writer/Director John Krasinski after making "A Quiet Place" and "A Quiet Place, Part II" wanted to likely make something different but that is an interesting build in jumping from one genre to another. He very much succeeds in certain ways with “IF” while he starts to tow the line on some others.

The intention of a "Planet Of The Apes" film is to give the notion of perspective pertaining to the notion of the greater good...and the contemplation of conscience. With the newest installment, "Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes", it is about going beyond the ideal of what Caesar was, and his connection to the human race. What the new film does is remind that the aspects of history and memory fade over time and become jumbled by those living it.

The aspect of making history both entertaining but also prevalent in character is a balance, especially when it involves action and comedy. With "The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare", director Guy Ritchie uses his approach to again make something off-the-cuff.

The contradiction of perspective sometimes offers a different perception in certain ways. With the film "Civil War", writer/director Alex Garland again seeks to stir the pot philosphically while using real world perspectives to engage ideas of conpiracy, hurt and misdirection.
