Movie Review: ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD

ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Michelle Williams, Charlie Plummer, Christopher Plummer, Mark Wahlberg, Romain Duris, Timothy Hutton All the Money in the World is a prime example of a movie that works two-fold due to the scandals presented both on screen and off. The on screen story kicks off in 1973 with 16-year old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) strolling the streets of Italy being propositioned by call girls. Out of nowhere, a van pulls up next to him with masked figures jumping out and grabbing the boy before he can scream for help. John Paul is being usedRead More →

Movie Review: PATRIOTS DAY

PATRIOTS DAY Director: Peter Berg Starring: Mark Wahlberg, John Goodman, Kevin Bacon, Michelle Monaghan, J.K. Simmons, Themo Melikidze, Alex Wolff, Melissa Benoist, Khandi Alexander, Jimmy O. Yang, Jake Picking There are three things that you can do on Patriots Day. You can watch the marathon, run in the marathon, or go cheer on the Boston Red Sox. It’s practically a holy day of observation for Bostonians to honor their city and community. That was all tested on April 15, 2013 when two brothers set off pressure cooker bombs near the finish line. The tragic event rocked the nation, and now director Peter Berg reteams withRead More →

Movie Review: TED 2

TED 2 Director: Seth MacFarlane Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Seth MacFarlane, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Giovanni Ribisi, Morgan Freeman, Patrick Warburton, Michael Dorn, Sam J. Jones, John Slattery, John Carroll Lynch Seth MacFarlane’s 2012 film about a raunchy but cute teddy bear named Ted did so well that it has naturally spawned a sequel. People had raved like it was the best comedy that had graced the silver screen in decades. While I enjoyed it, I wasn’t glowing that strongly about it like others. Ted 2 picks up with Ted (voiced by MacFarlane) who has now gotten married to his sweetheart Tami-Lynn (Bartha). A year hasRead More →

Movie Review: TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION Director: Michael Bay Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Titus Welliver, T.J. Miller I should have known that when I heard the line “My face is the warrant” from Titus Welliver that I was in for a certain kind of cinematic “treat”. I actually went into Transformers: Age of Extinction with a little bit of hope that it could actually be good. The trailers looked awful, but I had faith in Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci that they wouldn’t have signed on for a crappy movie. One would assume they saw the first three movies andRead More →

Movie Review: LONE SURVIVOR

LONE SURVIVOR Director: Peter Berg Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch, Eric Bana, Yousuf Azami Based on the book of the same name by Marcus Luttrell, Lone Survivor takes us front and center on the impact of Operation Red Wings, a reconnaissance and surveillance mission to track down and capture Taliban leader Ahmad Shah (Azami) in 2005. Marcus Luttrell (Wahlberg), Michael Murphy (Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Hirsch), and Matt Axelson (Foster) were the four Navy SEALs assigned to this covert mission in the mountains of Afghanistan. Their hideout is quickly compromised by the locals and their cover is blown. It is only aRead More →
