Deadpool 2 takes up the story after Deadpool/Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) suffers a tragedy. How is it possible for Deadpool, the snarkiest of the snarky superheroes, to genuinely feel a tragedy? You’ll have to see it for yourself. How this incident changes Deadpool is really not all that much. He becomes slightly morose for a time and then gets back to killing people.

Ranking the Movies of 2018: Week 18
As much as I like to write about film language, I occasionally can just not pay attention to it and just enjoy some jokes. The film language of Life of the Party is, admittedly, rather pathetic. Director and co-writer Ben Falcone is not a visual stylist. He’s barely able to make one scene transition comfortably from one to the next. So why don’t I hate it? Well, let’s go through the reasons why I probably should and then see if I can explain it.

Deadpool 2 is out and it is already receiving mixed reactions. The first film was a surprise runaway success, but that’s because the film was highly anticipated and, for the most part, director Tim Miller and his team of writers, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, understood the pulse of the character and his fans.

All About Texxx-Man Cosplay
I have been a content creator and writing stories on Vocal since March of this year, and I'm glad that I get to talk about topics that I'm passionate and love to talk about.

Going to the Theatre Can Help Young People in Their Development in Life
Have you ever been to a play and walked away challenged? As an actor, we were told that when we are performing Shakespeare, we must make the audience listen. Words are powerful.

It was a play about reconciliation and helping a teenager on his journey. I remember the reactions from the audience after the show. The play had a huge impact on their lives. Live performance is thrilling. It's an experience. It's a time where young people can lose themselves for a few hours in the world of the play.
