Adam Sandler and Chris Rock star in the Netflix Original film The Week Of which reunites the two former Saturday Night Live mega-stars. This is a movie coming from Adam Sandler and it’s part of Sandler’s eight-picture deal with Netflix.
Adam Sandler’s eight-picture deal with Netflix has been mostly negative with the exception of The Meyerowitz Stories, where Adam Sandler shines along with his co-stars Ben Stiller, Emma Thompson, and Dustin Hoffman. The Meyerowitz Stories showed viewers that Sandler has range as an actor and can show us a new side that we do not see very often. It took Sandler out of his comfort zone and away from the mediocre to just straight-up bad material that we’ve been getting from him over the last few years. Unfortunately, The Week Of is Sandler going back to his comfort zone and bad material.
Logan Myerz reviews the newest chapter in the Star Wars franchise Solo: A Star Wars Story.
“During an adventure into the criminal underworld, Han Solo meets his future copilot Chewbacca and encounters Lando Calrissian years before joining the Rebellion.”
WARNING – I will have to discuss a pretty big spoiler that occurs in the first act, I would try to avoid it, but it factors into the film quite heavily. It’s within the first 10-15 minutes, so it’s not too big but here’s the warning anyway.
Looking back at the history of the first Deadpool and how long it took to actually get made I forgave it for some of its shortcomings, namely in that while it was a good comedy, it lacked a strong story to make it good film overall. As such it doesn’t hold up as well on revisits, but is still a funny movie, by comparison Deadpool 2 has a much stronger narrative as well a much more impressive action set-pieces. Ironically, it’s the jokes that come up short. Maybe now living in a world where films like Logan and Infinity War have changed the comic-book movie landscape, the immaturity of Deadpool doesn’t sit as well with me, or maybe I’m just a pretentious ass who can’t have any fun.
Let’s find out.
