Movie Review: THE BATMAN

THE BATMAN Director: Matt ReevesStarring: Robert Pattinson, Paul Dano, Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright, Peter Sarsgaard, John Turturro, Max Carver, Charlie Carver, Barry Keoghan Within the last fifteen years, we’ve seen Christian Bale and Ben Affleck down the cape and cowl as the Caped Crusader. Now we’re getting a new adaptation with Robert Pattinson joining their ranks in The Batman, and it’s unlike any Batman movie that’s come before. Director Matt Reeves quickly lays out the grisly tone by introducing the audiences to The Riddler who’s killed the mayor on Halloween night. Paul Dano inhabits the Riddler modeling him after serial killersRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE BATMAN

THE BATMAN Director: Matt ReevesStarring: Robert Pattinson, Colin Farrell, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, Jeffrey Wright Today is #DCFanDome where DC unveils all sorts of fun footage, concept art, trailers, and more for many of their anticipated releases. During last year’s event, we got the first teaser of director Matt Reeves (The Planet of the Apes trilogy) take on Batman. Robert Pattinson steps into the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, as Reeves take a noir approach to telling Batman’s early days. He’s drawing inspiration from the graphic novel Batman: Year One We’re now getting the first full trailer and it looks fantastic. MattRead More →

Movie Review: BLACK PANTHER

BLACK PANTHER Director: Ryan Coogler Starring: Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, Sterling K. Brown, Angela Bassett, Daniel Kaluuya, Forest Whitaker We were first introduced to Black Panther, played exceptionally well by Chadwick Boseman, in Captain America: Civil War. Marvel has now given the character his own standalone film to build on his backstory and legacy. As we saw in the previous movie, T’Challa/Black Panther’s father was killed at the United Nations explosion. T’Challa is now the rightful heir to the throne taking his place as the new king of the African nation, Wakanda. He’s inRead More →

Movie Review: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Writer/Director: Rian Johnson Starring: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, Billie Lourd, Benecio del Toro, Gwendoline Christie Where do I even begin with the task of writing about Star Wars: The Last Jedi when I’ve just returned home from taking it all in for the first time? Repeat viewings will offer a bit of a different analysis. I’m still in a bit of awe filled with just about every emotion one could have from a Star Wars movie. I’d go so far as to say that 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 Trailer: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Director: Rian Johnson Starring: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Laura Dern, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Benicio Del Toro The time has finally come to feast your eyes on the very first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It feels very delayed compared to how early we saw a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The Last Jedi, aka Episode VIII, will pick up where The Force Awakens ended, and I assume will prominently feature Mark Hamill and his return as Luke Skywalker. Is he the title character or isRead More →

Movie Review: STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Director: J.J. Abrams Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendolyn Christie, Andy Serkis, Lupita Nyong’o, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew Where do you even begin when talking about a movie that is probably the biggest, most highly anticipated film of what? The last year? The last decade? It’s a film shrouded in extreme secrecy and comes with huge expectations. The Star Wars prequels left fans disappointed. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is back to the Star Wars we know and love. Jedi Master Luke Skywalker (Hamill) has gone missing, and everyone, especiallyRead More →

Movie Trailer: STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

Abrams Starring: John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Andy Serkis, Gwendoline Christie, Max Von Sydow           I can’t really think of a better person to take over the Star Wars empire than J.J. Abrams. He always felt like the right choice to me. I’ve been following the rumors, casting notices, and set photos, and it all seemed right to me.  After watching this teaser trailer for Episode VII a couple of times now, I think fans should rest assured that this willRead More →

Movie Review: DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Director: Matt Reeves Starring: Andy Serkis, Toby Kebbell, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, Gary Oldman, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Nick Thurston, Judy Greer 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes ended with the apes attacking the Golden Gate Bridge. The movie as a whole was rather dull and full of bad acting, but it culminated to a rather intriguing ending that left me wanting more. I was optimistic that this series still had some life left to it. Ten years have passed since those events and the Simian flu has wiped out a majority of the human population. There isRead More →
