A Review Too Far - Deadpool

This week, our cinema geeks review The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill, But Came Down A Mountain, Somme, and Deadpool.

First up is The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill, But Came Down A Mountain. Starring Hugh Grant, this quiet comedy is set in a small town in Wales where the local peak is in danger of being declassified as a mountain into just a hill, which hurts the local town pride. Eager to do anything they can to stall the English mapmakers whose word will seal the matter, the townsfolk, led by an inconvenient alliance between the local bartender and priest, pull every trick they can while the entire populace moves the earth, literally, to raise their hill back into mountain-hood again.

After that is a documentary about the rigorous process of becoming a certified Master Sommelier as seen from the perspective of several candidates. This film follows them on their journey and the stresses it puts on them, their families, and their relationships.

Finally, out in theaters, is the return of Deadpool to the silver screen. Given a much frowned upon debut in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Deadpool is back in his very own origin story... this time R-rated for violence, sex, and language. Reprising the role is Ryan Reynolds, who plays Wade Wilson, a witty mercenary with a heart of gold (well, brass), who is dying of cancer when he is approached by a shifty recruiter looking to attempt medical experiments on Wade in order to save his life and make him a super soldier. Things go wrong, people die, and Deadpool is born. On a quest for revenge (and to fix up his face), Deadpool begins to hunt those who scarred him for life. Full of comedy, action, and lots of blood and gore, Deadpool also stars Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, Briana Hildebrand, and T.J.Miller.
