Movie Review: THE NORTHMAN

THE NORTHMAN Director: Robert EggersStarring: Alexander Skarsgård, Anya-Taylor Joy, Ethan Hawke, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Willem Dafoe, Björk Director Robert Eggers made a name for himself with 2015’s horror film, The Witch. With just three films under his belt including his new film, The Northman, he’s showcased his distinct style for storytelling. Alexander Skarsgard leads the film as Amleth lives as a Viking berserker. They’re a violent tribe inspired by wolves and bears. As a young boy, he was anointed by his father (Hawke) to be on a path of greatness. It was not long after that when Young Amleth watched his father’s murder atRead More →

Movie Review: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN

THE LEGEND OF TARZAN Director: David Yates Starring: Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou, Jim Broadbent, Christoph Waltz I like to throw Tarzan into the same category as say The Mummy and Hercules as age old figures that continually seem to have new adaptations coming to the big screen. We’ve seen Tarzan in animated form thanks to Disney and in live action movies and television shows. Frankly, I’ve never been all that drawn to the character originally created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, but here we are with another version to hit the big screen. True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård takes on the titleRead More →

The Giver – My Review

THE GIVERDirector: Phillip NoyceStarring: Brenton Thwaites, Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgard, Katie Holmes, Odeya Rush, Cameron Monaghan, Taylor Swift There’s a great scene toward the end of The Giver where Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges get to have a bit of a verbal sparring match. I would have loved to have been an extra in that scene. It’s one of the more exciting scenes in the film, yet it comes far too late. Their community has become a vast, colorless world void of any feeling and emotion. Everything the citizens once knew has been erased from their memories.  There is strict order and rulesRead More →
