DIYDeadpoolCostume
Cinefix’s Homemade Movies video series is back this week, with an extensive video that shows you how to make your very ownDeadpoolcostume. This will surely be one of the hottest costumes for cosplayers next year, after the comic book adaptation hits the big screen in February, and this 13-minute video shows how you can make one yourself. While they don’t give a price for how much it might cost to put this suit together, it looks like it could be made rather inexpensively.
The HappeningHonest Trailer
In honor ofM. Night Shyamalan’s new movieThe Visit, theScreen Junkiescrew is back with a new Honest Trailer, breaking down the filmmaker’s 2008 bombThe Happening. The narrator gleefully tears apart this dreadful “thriller,” poking fun at the title,Mark Wahlberg’s “Donnie Wahlberg-level performance” and the film’s “villain.”
