When Wade met Cable aka deadpool 2: Judgment day

Ryan Reynolds returns as the foul mouthed, gun toting, wise cracking, fourth wall breaking merc with a mouth known as deadpool, this time around wade finds himself lumped with a kid, an angry muntant kid named Russell aka firefist. After failing to calm Russell and killing a bunch of dodgey looking "medical professionals" (deadpool? Kill? Never.....) they are both arrested and locked up in the ice box, mutant prison.
Things escalate quicky for the two as the prison is broken into by a time travelling bio-organic mutant known as Cable, whose objective is to kill a future terrorist and stop millions from dying - so naturally, wade find himself on the wrong side of Cable.

This genius masterpiece is hilarious from start to finish and does not tone down and features cameos from, Terry crews, Matt Damon, brad Pitt and more.

Starring pikachu....I mean Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, T.J. Miller, Brianna Hildebrand, and Jack Kesy.

David McK (3414 KP) rated Rapscallion (Matthew Hawkood, #3) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

The third book in James McGee's <i>Hawkwood</i> series of novels, this see Matthew Hawkwood sent undercover to the prison Hulks to investigate both the escape of several prisoners, and the disappearance of those sent previously to track them down.

Again taking factual history as its starting point (life on the prison Hulks, and the activities of the Free Traders (i.e. Smugglers)), the plot builds up to include those afore-mentioned smuggling rings, and a little bit of sea battle (a first in the series). It's also a first that the majority of this novel takes place away from London!

I do have to say, however, that even more so than the first two books, I found this one to be very remniscient of one of the Sharpe books from the 90s - have a look at <i>Sharpe's Company</i> (in particular) to see what I mean! That's not to say I din't enjoy it - I did - but just that, to me, elements of the plot seemed very familiar
