Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 (2017)

What is it that make the Guardians of the Galaxy films so fun and worth seeing?  It's the characters simple put, and the actors who play them.  Plus there is a theme in the movies that run throughout the series or franchise and that is that their more then superheros their family.  A dysfunctional family, but no less a family.  That's what makes this franchise so good.  The humor that is built into the films, and the actors who play them so well.  From Chris Pratt who plays Star Lord to   Dave Bautista who plays Drax the actors really bring a certain joy to their characters that they are playing.  Even Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper who do the voices for the characters of Groot and Rocket are entertaining and fun. I could go on about the direction, and the art direction, but why?  It's all good.  In fact its so good you take them for granted.  The writing is perfect James Gunn and Dan Abnett do an admirable job keeping it close ...

The Losers (2010)

Finally saw the film " The Losers " on HBO last night, and I have to say it was entertaining.  Where you think it is just another action-adventure film with explosions and firearms you won't be too off base, but the film the Losers has something else.  That something else is humor and some good acting also.  It's a simple revenge flick where "After being betrayed and left for dead, members of a CIA black ops team root out those who targeted them for assassination." That said about the plot the film has some pretty funny moments among its actors.  There is a real chemistry between the actors, and the banter back and forth is amusing.  It makes one like the characters and want to see more.  The one scene where the actor Chris Evans goes in to infiltrate a computer company is pretty funny, and the fight between Zoe Saldana as Aisha, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Clay is amusing to watch. I think this is what makes this film stand out from your typical act...
