A Rarity: Even Better Than The First
If you even remotely like the first Deadpool, you're gonna love Deadpool 2.

This time around Ryan Reynolds has delved even deeper into character. The film follows the 4th wall breaking style of it's predecessor and uses it deliver the type of quick-witted humor that audiences would expect.

There are numerous Easter Eggs. I have now seen this film 4 times and still caught things I hadn't noticed prior. I am not a fan of spoilers, so I shall leave those for you to discover on your own. However, I will say do pay attention to yhe opening credits and stay for the additional scenes that run in the middle of the end-credits.

The plot
Vampires as you've never seen them before
I wasn't quite sure what to make of this book at first. Usually I like to read the blurb first to get an overview as what the book is about but that didn't reveal much which frustrated me as I like to know what I'm getting myself into... Emotional turmoil? Drama? Romance? (because I'm soppy). I love the twist the author placed on telling the story. No spoilers but to sum it up: a super smart but fairly young physics genius takes on vampires with the help of her housemates. If you want a dramatic but clever plot line as well in-depth characters that leave much to the imagination, you've got the right book.

I am so glad HBO unlocked some of it's contents. It's no secret I love crime documentaries, it's the majority of television that I watch.
This doc was a first hand account by FBI agents, and the 'winners' of the McDonald's Monopoly game. Agent Mathews was my favorite, he was straight up hilarious. I may have found some of it funnier than most, mainly because in the first ep he complains about healthcare fraud, which is actually the field I work in. FBI agents do not like it in general because it takes forever to prove, speaking from personal interactions with agents.
It was interesting that the 'winners' and other people involved actually participated. It made for a rounded documentary.

"I love that the Criterion release of this includes all the times this film was talked about on Siskel & Ebert. That show was where I first heard about this film, and seeing how pissed off they were about it being snubbed by the Oscars made me seek it out. It resonated with me so deeply, and still does, the way it presents these two kids and their families, and their struggle to pursue their dreams while dealing with all the practical hardships of working-class life. It’s become kind of a foundational piece of work for me, because it was one of the first films I saw that demonstrated that if you look closely, great stories and great characters are all around us."

The first five Hellraiser movies range from love to like for me, which means that Hellseeker is the first in the series that I downright dislike.
The narrative is purposefully confusing, but not in a clever way. It's frustrating and has an underwhelming payoff, whilst not even trying to make any sense. Something will happen to the painfully bland main dude, and then it's like "lol, that didn't actually happen you mad bastard" over and over again for 90 minutes, whilst every female character inexplicably tries to shag him. Most importantly, it manages to be horrifically boring. It's nice to see Ashley Laurence back, but she's under utilised, as is Pinhead with his 3 seconds of screentime.
An absolute chore of an experience.
