Tinsel & Tine Focus:
EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT LOGAN

BEST WOLVERINE MOVIE

By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor

After the early press screening of LOGAN, I once again joined some of The Black Tribbles in an episode of “SPOILED TRIBBLES” where for a change, everyone was in agreement, Logan, directed by James Mangold, works on every level and in terms of X-men movies, for me, comes in 3rd behind X-men: Days of Future Past and X-Men:First Class, don’t know why I never did a post on First Class, but here’s a link to my 2013 The Wolverine.

Listen to the Podcast below for our exuberant chatter after seeing “Logan”, but remember it’s Spoiled Tribbles, so if you don’t want to know the plot or ending, listen after you’ve seen the movie.

Logan is not bloodlessly cartoonish in the way that even really great comic-book movies have been, wherein entire city neighborhoods can be razed without a hint of the human carnage that would naturally accompany such a nightmare. The scale is small here, but the human toll is tremendous in the way that a single death can be depicted as far more terrible than mass destruction. READ MORE Flickfilosopher

The once rich and powerful Charles Xavier, now a wizened and half-senile Patrick Stewart, is destitute, having been declared a WMD in a post-mutant world, and reliant on his former X-Man to supervise trips to the toilet – something you wouldn’t have banked on seeing when you saw Bryan Singer’s original movie back in 2000.
