From “The Help” and “The Tree of Life” to “Zero Dark Thirty” and “A Most Violent Year”, Jessica Chastain has consistently delivered fiery performances. You can add her latest effort in “Miss Sloane” to that list. Chastain dominates every scene she’s in (which is most of them) as a fast-talking, win at all cost, DC political […]
Say what you will about Mel Gibson – the guy can really tell a story on screen. “Hacksaw Ridge” is the first film Gibson has directed in a decade. As an actor, all of his recent comeback projects, including roles in “Edge of Darkness”, “The Beaver” and “The Expendables 3”, have been major failures. But […]
Less than two months after the release of “Sully”, Tom Hanks is already back on the big screen. He reprises his role as Professor Robert Langdon in “Inferno”, the third installment in director Ron Howard’s “Da Vinci Code” franchise. That film came-out a decade ago, and prequel “Angels & Demons” hit theaters in ‘09. Normally, […]
Natalie Portman doesn’t just play Jacqueline Kennedy in the biopic “Jackie”, she embodies her. The film is centered on the actions of the former First Lady on the days immediately following the assassination of her husband, President John F. Kennedy, on November 22, 1963 in Dallas. With such a specific focus, I had similar concerns […]
The making of “The Light Between Oceans” brought together two of the industry’s shining stars: Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander. Their chemistry on screen, as a loving husband and wife, sparked a real-life romance off-screen, as the two have been “a couple” since filming took place in 2014. But this isn’t PerezHilton.com – this is […]
Free Speech, internet shaming and the right to be “offended” are hot topics in society these days (and ones I’m not totally unfamiliar with). They’re also at the center of an informative and fascinating new documentary “Can We Take a Joke?” At only 75 minutes, director Ted Balaker (who previously tackled this topic in his […]
When Hollywood said – “We Need Another Reboot” – Who Did They Call? Ghostbusters! Paul Feig (of “Bridesmaids” and “Spy”) is the co-writer and director behind this female-led modern re-telling of the “Ghostbusters” story. And – I know the HATERS aren’t going to like hearing it – but this is a worthwhile fresh take on […]
2003’s “Finding Nemo” is a Pixar classic. Fans knows it inside and out – from the jarring opening scene to “Just Keep Swimming”. Now, 13 years later, director Andrew Stanton dives back under the sea to tell a new tale – “Finding Dory” – which is better that it could’ve been, but not nearly as […]
Two years ago, Emmy-winning “Breaking Bad” star (and “Trumbo” Oscar Nominee) Bryan Cranston took to The Great White Way to portray President Lyndon B. Johnson in “All the Way”. The play earned him a Tony Award, and less than two weeks after his win, HBO announced Cranston would reprise his role for the network’s movie […]
At just under two and a half hours, “Captain America: Civil War” is longer than any of the previous 12 films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And that should come as no surprise considering the gigantic cast of characters that have been brought together. And it’s this star-power, not the action or the story, that […]
