Movie Review: IRRESISTIBLE

IRRESISTIBLE Writer/Director: Jon StewartStarring: Steve Carell, Chris Cooper, Rose Byrne, Mackenzie Davis, Will Sasso, Brent Sexton, Topher Grace, Natasha Lyonne Jon Stewart has made his second feature film as a writer/director after leaving The Daily Show with Irresistible. Stewart doesn’t leave politics behind though as the film is set in the real world of Trump defeating Hillary Clinton to become president but then spins this movie into a fictional story. It features Steve Carell as Gary Zimmer, a Democratic strategist looking for his next client. He gathers his team and heads to a small town in Wisconsin after seeing a viral video of a townRead More →

TV Review: MRS. AMERICA

MRS. AMERICA Creator: Dahvi WallerStarring: Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Uzo Aduba, Tracey Ullman, Elizabeth Banks, Margo Martindale, Sarah Paulson, Melanie Lynskey, Ari Graynor, John Slattery Cate Blanchett has played many real life figures in her career. Now she tackles the outspoken Phyllis Schlafly in Mrs. America. It’s the early 1970s and the Equal Rights Amendment is the hot button issue dividing women across the country. Schlafly is staunchly against the women’s right movement. Fighting with her as other local housewives are Sarah Paulson and Melanie Lynsky. The other side of the fight includes people like Shirley Chisholm who’s running for president. She’s played by Uzo AdubaRead More →

Movie Review: X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Director: Bryan Singer Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Oscar Isaac, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Evan Peters, Oliva Munn, Rose Byrne, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alexandra Shipp I thought it would be a slam-dunk no-brainer that the casting of Oscar Isaac in the latest and final film in the new X-Men trilogy would make it the best one yet. I now realize I was reaching a bit due to my love of the actor. In case you’re unfamiliar, he played the heroic Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the title character in Inside Llewyn Davis. Now he’s playing theRead More →

Movie Review: NEIGHBORS 2: SORORITY RISING

NEIGHBORS 2: SORORITY RISING Director: Nicholas Stoller Starring: Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne, Selena Gomez, Chloë Grace Moretz, Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Lisa Kudrow Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is that sequel that you didn’t really expect to happen after the first film ended. This film is proof it still isn’t necessary despite the huge box office draw of the first film. The last time we saw Kelly (Byrne) and Mac (Rogen) Radner they made peace with frat boy Teddy (Efron) and his clan of partygoers. Everyone seems to be moving on from their days of ruining each other’s lives. Teddy is at a crossroadsRead More →

Movie Review: SPY

SPY Writer/Director: Paul Feig Starring: Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Miranda Hart, Allison Janney Let’s cut to the chase. Melissa McCarthy is one of the funniest actresses working today and is starring in one of the funniest movies of the year. In Spy, she plays CIA agent Susan Cooper who is quite content sitting behind her desk monitoring dangerous situations for field agent Bradley Fine (Law). She has a severe crush on him, as he is completely dashing and debonair like any spy should be. He has been working on a mission to track down the location of some nuclearRead More →

Movie Review: ANNIE

ANNIE Director: Will Gluck Starring: Quvenzhané Wallis, Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Stephanie Kurtzuba, Tracie Thoms, Dorian Missick Many people grew up watching Annie whether it was on stage or the Carol Burnett movie from 1982. It has received a modern twist in the latest version of the classic musical. Annie (Wallis) is a foster girl from Harlem living with a group of other girls under the pseudo-strict guide of Miss Hannigan (Diaz). In this version, Miss Hannigan is a washed up pop singer who used to be a member of the ‘90s group C&C Music Factory. Annie is aRead More →
