 Summary: The Suicide Squad follows a motley crew of imprisoned supervillains sent by a secret government agency to a hostile island to destroy a mysterious experiment.  Now this is an awesome superhero movie...but replace the heroes with villains, profanity and vulgarity and you've got yourself a 5 star rated movie. We've got some familiar faces, some new characters and an actual enjoyable movie. Lately, I've been keeping track on whether a movie captures my attention long enough that I get lost in the story and if not my phone seems to be the natural go to when surviving a shitty movie. I'm happy to report that this movie succeeded in both capturing my attention and making the time fly because before I knew it a two hour plus movie flew by.  I'm disappointed but not entirely surprised that Will Smith didn't return as Deadshot. All of that hype in the first movie just to be then replaced with another black actor who's character similarly has the same exact ...

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: It's open season on Harley Quinn when her explosive breakup with the Joker puts a big fat target on her back. Unprotected and on the run, Quinn faces the wrath of narcissistic crime boss Black Mask, his right hand man, Victor Zsasz, and every other thug in the city. But things soon even out for Harley when she becomes unexpected allies with three deadly women- Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya.  Someone needs to come and slap me across the face for not having seen this movie sooner! This movie exceeded beyond my wildest expectations! I loved Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn and even though the Suicide Squad movie wasn’t all that great, one shining star was her and her totally embodying Harley. Jared Leto as the Joker? Well…not so much. I’ve always been such a huge fan of DC comics growing up and I used to watch the animated Batman series on video cassette…yeah I’m that old! I’m so happy that as an adult I’ve bee...

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Figuring they're all expendable, a U.S. intelligence officer decides to assemble a team of dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains for a top-secret mission. Now armed with government weapons, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and other despicable inmates must learn to work together. Dubbed Task Force X, the criminals unite to battle a mysterious and powerful entity, while diabolical Joker launches his evil agenda of his own.  I'm not a fan of the intro to this movie. It was close to twenty minutes and that is just too long. I love Viola Davis and she is a fantastic choice to play Amanda Waller, however, the movie should have started with her since her plan to control these villains is the entirety of the plot. it felt redundant starting the movie with a montage of Dead and Harley Quinn to then have another montage of them when Waller was going over the team members in detail. What made it obvious that those t...
