KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE Director: Matthew Vaughn Starring: Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, Halle Berry, Jeff Bridges, Elton John, Pedro Pascal, Edward Holcroft Kingsman: The Secret Service felt like fresh take on the spy genre. It’s release in 2014 was a surprisingly big success, so naturally a sequel was greenlit. The death of his former mentor Harry (Firth) has been a huge blow for Eggsy (Egerton). He’s trying to work his way up as a member of the Kingsman secret spy organization only to be faced with another huge setback for the organization. This time it’s at the hands ofRead More →

MOTHER! Writer/Director: Darren Aronofsky Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer, Domhnall Gleeson, Brian Gleeson You won’t see another movie this year that will leave you scratching your head or digging your nails into your arm like you will during “mother!” Oscar winners Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem play a married couple living out in an old farmhouse in a secluded area. It’s worth noting that none of the characters are actually given names in the movie. The credits give them generic titles like “mother” and “him,” respectively. Bardem is a famous poet looking to find inspiration again. We come to learn thatRead More →

AMERICAN ASSASSIN Director: Michael Cuesta Starring: Dylan O’Brien, Michael Keaton, Taylor Kitsch, Sanaa Lathan, Shiva Negar Dylan O’Brien is best known for his teen friendly roles in the YA genre whether it’s MTV’s Teen Wolf or The Maze Runner franchise. It’s evident that with American Assassin he’s ready to shed that innocent side of him for grittier material. He plays Mitch Rapp, the lead character in a series of books from Vince Flynn. This book was his eleventh in the series but tells the origin story of Rapp. It’s a great starting off point for a potential new action series. It all started on aRead More →

IT Director: Andy Muschietti Starring: Bill Skarsgård, Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff This seems to be the year of highly anticipated Stephen King adaptions. His works are highly cherished by his fans, so there is always a concern that the film won’t be able to live up to the story us readers have envisioned for the years we have spent devouring his characters time and time again. The Dark Tower disappointed earlier this summer, but IT does not fall victim to that. Trust me. It’s my favorite book of all time. My hardcover isRead More →

THE STANLEY KUBRICK EXPERIENCE Stanley Kubrick is undeniably one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. His movies are not fluffy pieces of entertainment. His eye behind the camera leaves you with imagery that creates an unforgettable cinematic experience. They may be odd, puzzling, and unclear at times but with every movie you are left with pictures ingrained in your head. I will never forget seeing movies like A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, or even Eyes Wide Shut for the first time. Kubrick never takes the easy way out for his audience. The Heights Theater is presenting five of his best works throughout September andRead More →
