... demons and drink. As he tries to manage the worsening seizures of Professor X, he also finds himself called to protect a young girl (Dafne Keen as Laura). LOGAN makes the leap to an R rating, signaling a very different tone to conclude the adventures. The action is intense, the story is rock solid and the addition of Dafne Keen's amazing performance sends "Logan" out with an incredible bang. It really is a ton of fun for diehard fans, but it's also so good on its own that you need not have watched any of the previous movies to really enjoy it. "Before I Fall". At first glance, you may think "Before I Fall" is a sappy movie just for teens. But it was an incredible surprise for me. As a father, it scared the hell out of me, broke my heart and left me feeling very hopeful. It stars Zoey Deutch as the central figure. Through her senior year in high school, she navigates a range of emotions from being ...

Derby, Auckland Cup Blows For Logan-gibbs

... for the Derby.". Romancer, a son of Redwood, has won two of his six starts, including the Listed Mufhasa Stakes at Ellerslie last December, and had his final two Derby lead-ups in the Karaka 3 YO Mile (fifth) and the Avondale Guineas (11 th). He was unsuited by the wet track in the Avondale feature. "Romancer can have a bit of a spell and hopefully we can get him up for the Queensland Derby," Logan said. "The owner of St Jean is looking for a new home for him to stand at stud.". St Jean had four starts for the Logan-Gibbs stable and won the Group 3 City of Auckland Cup (2400 m) at Ellerslie on New Year's Day, proving to his new trainers he would be a leading hope in the Auckland Cup. "It's a shame we can't get to the Auckland Cup with him because that was always going to be his race," Logan said. "He deserves his chance at stud. He's got good bloodlines and is a Group 3 winner.". St Jean, a son of Teofilio, began his career in Ireland then raced in Australia for Aaron Purcell , winning four races before crossing the Tasman and joining the ...

The History Of The Comic That Inspired Logan And Revolutionized The Marvel Brand

... to the story’s main action, all the various baddies of the Marvel Universe finally got their act together and joined up to take on the good guys on one fateful night. Evil won, nearly all of the heroes were killed, and the capos of the bad-guy uprising divided America up among themselves. What we eventually learn is that Logan got the rawest deal of all. When a squadron of nemeses came to the X-Men’s headquarters, Wolvie rushed to lethally take them all down in a horrific, decapitation-filled fight that stretched on and on until it seemed he had finally won. Only then was it revealed to him that Spider-Man foe and master of illusions Mysterio had made Logan think he was killing villains, when really, all the villains he saw were X-Men and their child wards. He had carried out a wholesale X-massacre. Traumatized beyond belief, Logan wandered to nearby rail tracks and tried to kill himself by letting a train run over his neck. His healing factor and adamantium skeleton kept him from losing his skull, but it gave him the masochistic pain he desired, and afterward, he vowed ...

Film Review

... Jackman is essentially an ex-X-Man. The year is 2029, and superhuman mutants are about to join tigers on the extinction list. As far as anyone knows, there have been no mutant births in a quarter-century, and those few who remain live in an abandoned smelting plant on the outskirts of El Paso. It’s the sort of industrial wasteland that instantly spells dystopia. Yet like all the elements of Francois Audouy’s production design, which include an Oklahoma City casino and a Great Plains farmhouse, the corroded edge-of-nowhere compound is evocative but not scene-stealing. Those remaining few mutants number precisely three. X-Men leader Charles (a superb Patrick Stewart) is now a nonagenarian whose legendary telepathic powers are not always within his control; as with many a mere mortal, his geriatric brain doesn’t function as it once did, ...

Logan Ryan, Duron Harmon To Let Patriots Match Contract Offers

... where he struggled in the first half of the season, but he began to turn a corner as the year progressed. He spent much of the season working as the Patriots’ No. 2 and No. 3 cornerback — depending the styles of the opposing receivers. Cornerback Eric Rowe often took the No. 2 corner spot if the opposing receiver was taller and more physical. But Ryan’s Super Bowl performance typified the defensive back’s progress, as he finished tied for the team-high with six tackles. He was also solid in coverage while working against Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel. Harmon played as New England’s third safety this season. While he was a rotational player, he still managed to get a major workload at 48 percent of snaps. His presence on the field as a coverage safety gave the Patriots a great deal of defensive flexibility, particularly when safety Patrick Chung played close ...

Old Man Logan Takes On Future Hulk As New Creative Team Announced

... He's willing to share the glory-or at least claims he is. Not everything is always initially as seems when it comes to the Maestro. What can you tell us about the return of the Hulk Gang if they were all wiped out by Logan. Reading over the original Old Man Logan (SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT READ THE ORIGINAL), you'll see that Logan left one of the Hulk Gang, Billy Bob , alive. Or at least left him in a position where we can reasonably assume he's still alive. So, we've already got him, living with the knowledge of what Logan has done to his family. But, The Hulk Gang ran the WHOLE of California, beyond their HQ in Sacramento. What if there were more in…San Diego? Lake City. Without getting into more spoiler territory, there's a reason there are other Hulks out there who might not have been present at the time that Logan killed Wasteland Bruce Banner and brood. It's a fine line to walk, but I think that we've managed to bring the Hulk ...

Logan

... Logan and his cohorts go on the run. The set-up for this last chapter is meticulous. What it seems to lack is an engaging visual style. Deadpool was a great success not only because of a superb script and a very sardonic Ryan Reynolds performance, but also because its first-time director Tim Miller, an animator and visual effects expert, played with the footage. He gave Deadpool an optically appealing look. Mangold’s script and direction are too focused on drawn-out, talky scenes. During these times your eyes often linger on interior sets that look like a sound stage and are not realistic. Something doesn’t feel authentic. It’s a while before that changes, but this character-driven film does find its way. Cinematographer John Mathieson (X-Men: The First Class, The Man from U. N. C. L. E.) lights scenes well, but his camerawork seems stiff, which ...

Eagles' Howie Roseman On Bennie Logan

... that you are trying to work in is going to effect someone else. It's just the nature of this game. You only have so many resources," Roseman said. "You are able to do whatever you want, it's just a matter of what that means.". Logan likely will become a free agent on March 7, when negotiations can begin, and he would be free to officially sign with another team on March 9. He was a third-round draft pick by the Eagles in 2013. Logan is one of the top defensive tackles headed for the free-agent market, but now that Kansas City Chiefs will cut loose defensive tackle Dontari Poe , Logan's price might drop. Chiefs' head coach Andy Reid gave the usual response on Poe on Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine : "We love him and would love to have him back.". What Eagles need to accomplish at NFL Combine. The six-year, $102 million deal the Eagles gave to Fletcher Cox last offseason is standing in the way of bringing Logan back. Cox will count $9.4 million against the cap in 2017, which makes a big-money deal unlikely for Logan because the Eagles would be investing a ton of money in defensive tackles. ...

Get Out Attacks The Rainbow

... me a while to work out what this road trip reminded me of, but I got there eventually. It’s Little Miss Mutant Sunshine. Like Millie Bobby Brown, in “Stranger Things,” Dafne Keen seems both haunted and haunting, her reticence blended with a fierce glare; there are echoes, too, of the young Lukas Haas, in “Witness” (1985). But her character, when roused to vengeance, grows even more savage than Logan, and you have to wonder how easy it is for Keen’s parents to watch their daughter launch herself at grown men, tear at their flesh with murderous paws, and, in one case, sever a head. “Logan” is R-rated, and the director, James Mangold, stages bout after bout of frenzied barbarity. At one point, Charles and Laura sit in a hotel room, engrossed in a showing of “Shane” on TV. Plainly, Mangold wants to establish a parallel: Jackman, like Alan Ladd, is standing up for justice and protecting a child. But look at the final shoot-out in the older film, as Shane enters the rich brown shadows of the ...

Logan' To Sink Claws Into $65m-plus U.s. Debut

... th Century Fox movie, returning Hugh Jackman in the title role, is projected to gross $65 million or more in North America this weekend, and as much as $100 million overseas, where it is opening in numerous markets, including China. Logan is the first Wolverine movie to be rated R and is getting the widest release in history for an R-rated title domestically, where it will play in 4,071 theaters. (Fox is the same studio behind the blockbuster R-rated Deadpool.). Directed by James Mangold, Logan is the third Wolverine movie and the tenth title in the X-Men franchise. The story follows the adventure that ensues when Logan, who is caring for an ailing Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), encounters a mysterious young girl named Laura (Dafne Keen) in need of their help. Logan, a critical darling, made its premiere at the Berlin ...

No Easy Solutions If Bennie Logan Departs

... comparable price. It's difficult to project the contract numbers for Logan, but the bidding could get steep. The defensive tackle market is light, 19 teams have more than $30 million in cap space to spend, and Logan is in his prime years. The Eagles could have saved themselves the grief by extending Logan last offseason, but Roseman committed nearly $250 million to Cox, Lane Johnson, Vinny Curry, and Zach Ertz. The numbers are likely to change, but the Eagles have $34.25 million of their salary cap devoted to their top four defensive linemen (Cox, Curry, Connor Barwin, and Brandon Graham) in 2017. The importance of the line in defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's scheme cannot be overstated, but Cox's $102.6 million contract could hamstring the Eagles in some ways. He earned his second straight Pro Bowl nod, but his 2016 season ...
