Movie Review: FORD v FERRARI

FORD v FERRARI Director: James MangoldStarring: Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Caitriona Balfe, Josh Lucas, Jon Bernthal, Tracy Letts, Noah Jupe It’s 1966 and the Ford Motor Company is trailing behind Chevy and needs innovation to keep them ahead of the competition. One idea is to build an elite race car modeled after a Ferrari. After a business deal with Ferrari goes bad, this fuels the flames of building the car and racing against Ferrari at France’s Le Mans race. Helping them out is Matt Damon’s Carroll Shelby, a former Le Mans winner now turned car builder, and Christian Bale as Ken Miles, one of theRead More →

Movie Review: JASON BOURNE

JASON BOURNE Director: Paul Greengrass Starring: Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel, Julia Stiles, Alicia Vikander, Riz Ahmed It’s been nine years since Matt Damon donned the identity of Jason Bourne, and boy does it feel great to have him back in such a memorable role. Bourne has been lying low passing his days as a rough street boxer. Julia Stiles is also back as Nicky Parsons, Bourne’s contact regarding the Treadstone Project. She’s at her rope’s end and wants to expose the CIA for all of their secretive wrongdoings. She’s caught in Iceland transferring a massive amount of Black Ops files, which leadsRead More →

Movie Review: THE MARTIAN

THE MARTIAN Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastian, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Askel Hennie, Donald Glover, Kristen Wiig Last year, Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon starred in the science fiction epic Interstellar. They didn’t share any scenes together, but now they are back to familiar territory in The Martian playing Melissa Lewis and Mark Watley, two members of a space team stationed on Mars. Their crew, comprised of Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, and Askel Hennie, is caught in the middle of a huge sandstorm. Watley is struck by debris when he attempts to board theRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE MARTIAN

THE MARTIAN Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Donald Glover, Sebastian Stan, Mackenzie Davis I love the fact that we are getting big space exploration movies back on the silver screen. We’ve seen films like Gravity and Interstellar open our minds to the depths of space, and now Ridley Scott is returning to his home turf with The Martian. I feel like he really excels in the sci-fi genre after films like Alien and Blade Runner. Frankly, we need something from him to help us forget about Exodus: Gods and Kings.Read More →

Movie Review: THE MONUMENTS MEN

THE MONUMENTS MEN Director: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bob Balaban, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, Bill Murray, Jean Dujardin, Dimitri Leonidas, Cate Blanchett As we all know George Clooney is a man of many talents. He has won Oscars for acting (Syriana) and producing (Argo) and has been nominated for his writing and directing efforts (Good Night, and Good Luck). These are just some of the high caliber credits under his belt. Plus, he is pretty darn good to look at on any given day of the week. His latest project, The Monuments Men, has him wearing many hats again as he acts, directs, writes, andRead More →

Movie Review: PROMISED LAND

PROMISED LAND Director: Gus Van Sant Starring: Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Frances McDormand, Rosemarie DeWitt, Hal Holbrook I will be honest. I had never heard of the term “fracking” untilPromised Land came around. I am assuming that many people do not know what that term is. Fracking is the slang term for hydraulic fracturing which is the core debate in the latest Gus Van Sant/Matt Damon reunion. Steve Butler (Damon) and Sue Thomason (McDormand) work for Global, a natural gas company that is interested in buying farm land in order to drill for gas. Steve and Sue visit a small rural town in hopes toRead More →
