SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Director: Ron Howard Starring: Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton, Paul Bettany, Joonas Suotamo, Phoebe Waller-Bridge Ever since Disney aquired Lucas Film and gained the rights to Star Wars, they’ve promised new movies every calendar year with the new trilogy (The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and 2019’s Episode IX) and standalone features (Rogue One) in between those movies. The latest is Solo: A Star Wars Story, which gives the backstory to fan favorite character Han Solo, previously played by Harrison Ford. Young Han is now under the capable hands of Alden Ehrenreich, primarily known forRead More →

Movie Trailer: SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY

SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Director: Ron Howard Starring: Alden Ehrenreich, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, Thandie Newton The road to Solo has been plagued with enough behind the scenes drama to fill the galaxy. Solo: A Star Wars Story is the next “stand alone” Star Wars film, much like 2016’s Rogue One. We see the return of some familiar faces like Han Solo, this time played by Hail Caesar’s Alden Ehrenreich, Lando Calrissian (Glover), and Chewbecca as this film goes back to the early days of our favorite rascally pilot. The film was originally set to be directed by Christopher Miller and PhilRead More →

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. She has driven by three billboards outside the town border countless times before but only now does the light bulb go off. They are old, rickety, and haven’t been touched in years with various panels hanging off. She pays $5,000 for theRead More →

Movie Review: WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES Director: Matt Reeves Starring: Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Karin Konoval, Amiah Miller, Toby Kebbell, Judy Greer War of the Planet of the Apes marks the end of the newest Apes trilogy that started with 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes starring James Franco. It is beneficial to have seen all three as there is a linear through line despite the changing cast members who play the humans. It’s been fifteen years since humans created a virus strong enough to kill off a majority of the human species, but in turn, give apes a super-intelligenceRead More →

Movie Review: TRIPLE 9

TRIPLE 9 Director: John Hillcoat Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Norman Reedus, Aaron Paul, Teresa Palmer, Gal Gadot, Clifton Collins, Jr, Michael Kenneth Williams A thrilling bank heist can be the perfect way to start a film. It’s an easy choice, but when it’s done well, it never gets old. The Dark Knight and Dog Day Afternoon utilize this very concept perfectly. Triple 9 kicks things into high gear from the get go with a group of five men (Paul, Reedus, Mackie, Ejiofor, and Collins) pulling off the heist, each one having their own role in the job, asRead More →

Movie Review: THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2

THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2 Director: Francis Lawrence Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Donald Sutherland, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Sam Claflin It’s all come down to this for Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) who was given the title of the Mockingjay. She is seen as the face of the Panem’s rebellion against President Snow (Sutherland) and the Capitol. When we last saw our heroine, she was being strangled by her friend, Peeta (Hutcherson). He is now currently being held in solitary confinement to regain his memory after being brainwashed by Snow. This along with other personal losses along theRead More →

Movie Review: THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1

THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 Director: Francis Lawrence Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Donald Sutherland, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Jeffrey Wright, Sam Claflin, Stanely Tucci, Natalie Dormer Leave it to the studios to split up the finale of another young adult book into two films. We’ve seen this before with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. The real question is whether there is enough material in Suzanne Collins’ book Mockingjay to warrant the split. Having read the series, I can safely say there isn’t enough to fill four hours worth ofRead More →

Movie Review: THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE

THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE Director: Francis Lawrence Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Stanley Tucci, Lenny Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Lynn Cohen, Donald Sutherland I have seen enough of these movies adapted from young adult books to know that the majority of them are crap. I love that The Hunger Games series has set a high bar which others in a post-Harry Potter era will have to compete with when it comes to gaining a wide audience base outside of screaming teen girls. The second film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, kicks itRead More →

Movie Review: NOW YOU SEE ME

NOW YOU SEE ME Director: Louis Leterrier Starring: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Caine, Mélanie Laurent Magic comes in a variety of forms each appealing to a different kind of crowd. J. Daniel Atlas (Eisenberg) is your fast-talking brainiac who performs your standard set of card tricks. Merritt McKinley (Harrelson) pulls out unsuspecting people from a crowd and gets them to divulge life secrets as a mentalist. Jack Wilder (Franco) makes his living by doing sleight of hand tricks. He may end off ripping people off and stealing their money in the process. Henley Leeves (Fisher) pullsRead More →
