Movie Review: SERENITY

SERENITY Writer/Director: Steven KnightStarring: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jason Clarke, Diane Lane, Djimon Hounsou, Jeremy Strong Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway have reunited after first starring in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. McConaughey plays Baker Dill who’s a devoted tuna fisherman. We learn that he has a son who he no longer sees on a regular basis and he’s making enemies of his customers. His ex-wife (Hathaway) arrives into town unexpectedly offering ten million dollars to kill her abusive husband (Clarke) and feed him to the sharks. If only that was the plot of this movie. Through its many twists, Serenity reveals itself to be something completelyRead More →

Movie Review: KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD

KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD Director: Guy Ritchie Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Aidan Gillen, Eric Bana Guy Ritchie’s adaption of the King Arthur lore has a different take on it compared to the one we’re used to seeing. We first meet Arthur as a baby being sent down the river for protection by his father, Uther (Bana). This all happens shortly before Uther slays the mystical sorcerer known as Mordred using his sword Excalibur. His uncle, Vortigern (Law), kills Uther in a vengeful power play to claim the throne due to his jealousy of Uther’s newfound heroic status. YearsRead More →

Movie Review: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN Director: David Yates Starring: Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou, Jim Broadbent, Christoph Waltz I like to throw Tarzan into the same category as say The Mummy and Hercules as age old figures that continually seem to have new adaptations coming to the big screen. We’ve seen Tarzan in animated form thanks to Disney and in live action movies and television shows. Frankly, I’ve never been all that drawn to the character originally created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, but here we are with another version to hit the big screen. True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård takes on the titleRead More →

Movie Review: FURIOUS 7

FURIOUS 7 Director: James Wan Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Dwayne Johnson, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Kurt Russell, Nathalie Emmanuel, Djimon Hounsou The Fast and the Furious franchise continues at full throttle for its seventh entry. The film picks up directly after the post-credit sequence that happened at the end of the sixth film. If you’re a die-hard fan, you will probably catch on that chronologically that event takes place after the events of the third film, not the sixth one. Hopefully I haven’t lost you yet. Jason Statham has joined the cast as the main villain Deckard Shaw whoRead More →

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Director: James Gunn Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace, Benecio Del Toro, Djimon Hounsou, Glenn Close, John C. Reilly Move over Avengers, because Marvel has a whole new set of heroes that are worth checking out and worth our money at the box office. This is the third Marvel release this summer after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Funnyman Chris Pratt suits up as Peter Quill, a.k.a Star-Lord, a pilot who was abducted into space as a kid on the same night his mother died. He now finds himselfRead More →
