PAUL’S TOP 10 of 2019 2019 has been an exceptional year at the movies. We saw thought-provoking storytelling with movies like Us and JoJo Rabbit. Directors Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Sam Mendes all pushed the boundaries of filmmaking with their latest films. We saw the end to Marvel’s Infinity Saga with Avengers: Endgame and we said goodbye to the Skywalker Saga with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Literary adaptations like Little Women and Doctor Sleep proved you can venture outside the confines of the author’s original words and still make you latch on their characters and themes. On a personal front, I becameRead More →

THE IRISHMAN Director: Martin ScorseseStarring: Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Anna Paquin, Ray Romano, Harvey Keitel, Jesse Plemons, Bobby Cannavale Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran (De Niro) was a teamster who was taken under by the Bufalino crime family out of Pennsylvania. He could do their dirty work, which led to his working relationship with Jimmy Hoffa (Pacino) and this film charts the rise and unexpected fall between the two of them. The robust script by Steven Zaillian is based on the book “I Heard You Paint Houses” by Charles Brandt who interviewed Frank Sheeran and wrote this as his confessional to killing JimmyRead More →

THE IRISHMAN Director: Martin ScorseseStarring: Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel, Joe Pesci, Anna Paquin, Bobby Cannavale, Jesse Plemons Martin Scorsese became synonymous with gangster movies with films like Goodfellas and Casino under his belt. He returns to that environment with The Irishman, named after Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran. Steven Zaillian’s script is adapted from the book “I Heard You Paint Houses” by Charles Brandt. Brandt’s work is an epic look at Sheeran’s rise to power under Jimmy Hoffa and his eventual involvement in Hoffa’s death. It’s a FASCINATING story, which will no doubt be accurately brought to life by Scorsese and his trusted partnershipsRead More →
