Movie Review: THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI

THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI Writer/Director: Martin McDonagh Starring: Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, John Hawkes, Peter Dinklage, Lucas Hedges, Abbbie Cornish, Zeljko Ivanek In Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Frances McDormand gives the best performance of her career since the old Marge Gunderson days in Fargo. She plays Mildred Hayes who is still grieving after the murder of her daughter, Angela.

In 1996 two expeditions attempt to make their way to the top of Mount Everest. Jason Clarke plays Rob Hall, an expedition leader based out of New Zealand who is bringing a group of amateur hikers up with his company Adventure Consultants.

Movie Review: THE SESSIONS

THE SESSIONS Director: Ben Lewin Starring: John Hawkes, Helen Hunt, William H. Macy, Moon Bloodgood, W. Earl Brown What is the difference between a sex surrogate and a prostitute?

The rest of the day is spent being carried around on a gurney by his attendant, Vera (Bloodgood). Whether it is clothes shopping, going to church, or visiting other friends, Vera is by his side bringing him where ever he needs to go. Mark suffers from polio and his body has becomeRead More →

You will also not see a movie focused on his whole presidency making you feel like you are back in history class seeing a badly narrated movie. Even though the assassination is included, Spielberg and screenwriter Tony Kushner focus their film on Lincoln’s (Day-Lewis) battle to pass the 13th amendment to abolish slavery. Lincoln was opposed to slavery and neededRead More →
