Ryan Reynolds, who received a Golden Globe nomination for the original, will be reprising his role as Deadpool. After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry's hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the Yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor - finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World's Best Lover.
If "Deadpool 2" is half as good as the original, it will be worth seeing.
Also, starting this Friday is the star-studded film, "Book Club."
Diane (Diane Keaton) is recently widowed after 40 years of marriage. Vivian (Jane Fonda) enjoys her men with no strings attached. Sharon (Candice Bergen) is still working through a decades-old divorce. Carol's (Mary Steenburgen) marriage is in a slump after 35 years. Their lives are turned upside down to hilarious ends when their book club tackles the infamous "Fifty Shades of Grey." From discovering new romance to rekindling old flames, they inspire each other to make their next chapter the best chapter. The movie co-stars Andy Garcia, Craig T. Nelson, Don Johnson, Ed Begely Jr., Alicia Silverstone and Oscar winner ("The Goodbye Girl") and 2010 California Independent Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Richard Dreyfuss.
See you at the movies!
