Movie Review: HOUSE OF GUCCI

HOUSE OF GUCCI Director: Ridley ScottStarring: Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek, Jack Huston Director Ridley Scott shows no sign of slowing down as House of Gucci is his second big film to be released in 2021 following The Last Duel. The name Gucci was synonymous with wealth, style, and power. Their fashion house couldn’t be stopped and was full of large personalities within the Gucci family. It was 1978 in Milan when Patrizia Reggiani (Gaga) met young Maurizio Gucci (Driver) at a masked party. It was love at first sight for her when he discloses he’s a Gucci.Read More →

Movie Review: THE IRISHMAN

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 →

Movie Trailer: THE IRISHMAN

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 →

ONCE UPON A TIME IN…HOLLYWOOD Director: Quentin TarantinoStarring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Tim Roth, Bruce Dern, Timothy Olyphant, Dakota Fanning, Al Pacino, Kurt Russell The first teaser for the “9th Film From Quentin Tarantino” is here.
