Looking Forward to Seeing in the Cinema this Month...February 2016

It doesn't happen very often, but this month Jenna and I are teaming up. There is literally only one movie we're dead excited for. Deadpool!  I could literally watch nothing else in the month of February and still be happy!

11 years in the making now, and we're just days away from the cinematic release. It's been over a year now since the early footage was 'leaked' and we still know very little about the plot. Well, this is Deadpool after all! The USA has it R-Rated, and at the time of writing this, we're still waiting for a UK rating. Very few movies get rated 18 here now, but I've still got my fingers crossed.  I was really hoping for an 18 but in an interview with Ryan Reynolds he confirmed it was 15, he probably knows more than we do!

Ryan Reynolds gets a lot of stick, not all undeserved I accept, but you can't argue with the fact that he was born for this role. No one else can don that iconic red suit and deliver those witty remarks like he can.  As well as take the piss out of his own poor movie choices ;-)

I think there is a good chance I am going to want to see this more than once but with it being NSFD I have limited opportunity, I may force Allie to come with me as well as go with her other half!!

As a total Marketing nerd (hey, it's literally my job) I've loved following the numerous posters for this. There are going to be some very confused girlfriends this month when they watch Deadpool, finally understanding why their dates were so happy to see this romantic comedy:

I thought the 'Skull, Poop, L' emoji poster was my favourite of them all when that went viral.

But then they followed up with this one!

Deadpool Marketing Team, you are my heroes. Where can I send in my CV?  It has to be the best marketing of any film in history, is there not a Oscar category for this?!

Here in the UK, we can get a load of Deadpool on 10th February, 2016.

  2. I totally agree. This has been some of the best film marketing in.....ever! This is one of my most anticipated movies of the entire year. I hope my expectations aren't too high, but if the movie is half as good as the advertising I think we'll be okay.

    1. It really has been!
      I'm definitely worried that my hopes are too high, but from the trailers I've seen (I've stopped watching them now) we're in for a real treat :)

  3. I'm not a fan of Ryan Reynolds but I'm kinda curious about Deadpool so I'll be going to the press screening Thursday. The marketing for that movie has been a stroke of genius!

    P.S. Are you ladies a fan of Sam Riley? I'm currently obsessed w/ the Yorkshire bloke ;-)

    1. Ooh I hope you enjoy it! If it's as half as good as the marketing campaign we're in for a treat :)
      I can't say I've seen much of Sam Riley but I'm going to keep my eyes out! I'm currently feeling a Domhnall Gleeson obsession coming on...help!
