2016: A YEAR IN REVIEW

2016: A YEAR IN REVIEW 2016 was not the best year when it came to the selections at your local movie theater. The spring brought out it the usual duds, the summer season was wildly disappointing, and the fall had a few great films to try and redeem itself. Big blockbuster movies like X-Men: Apocalypse, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, and The Divergent Series: Allegiant were not greeted with the same sort of enthusiasm upon it’s release. All four were disappointing in some regard. We also saw reboots and revivals of franchises with Ghostbusters, Jason Bourne, Bridget Jones’s Baby,and Blair Witch; some of them wereRead More →

Movie Review: INFERNO

INFERNO Director: Ron Howard Starring: Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones, Irrfan Khan, Ben Foster, Omar Sy Tom Hanks returns for his third run as Robert Langdon, Harvard professor and “symbologist.” He’s studied the works of Da Vinci and the Illuminati and is now tasked with putting his knowledge of Dante’s Inferno to the test. Bertrand Zorbist (Foster) is a high-profile scientist and speaker who has given lectures warning of the impending doom on the world’s overpopulation problem. He believes humanity is at risk unless drastic measures are taken. “Human is the disease. Inferno is the cure” are his dying words before jumping to his death. HeRead More →

Movie Review: HELL OR HIGH WATER

HELL OR HIGH WATER Director: David Mackenzie Starring: Chris Pine, Ben Foster, Jeff Bridges, Gil Birmingham, Katy Mixon Bank robberies always make for a good movie opening. No matter how many I see, it always strikes me as just the right kind of jolt to kick a movie into gear. Ben Foster (Six Feet Under) and Chris Pine (Star Trek) play brothers Tanner and Toby Howard, respectively. Their targets are the Texas Midlands Bank snatching the front drawer cash from each one in the area. It makes for a simpler and quicker in and out versus hitting up the vaults. Tanner is the ex-con whoRead More →

Movie Review: THE FINEST HOURS

THE FINEST HOURS Director: Craig Gillespie Starring: Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Eric Bana, Holliday Grainger, Kyle Gallner, John Magaro Disney is no stranger at taking true stories and attempting to turn them into inspiring movies. They’ve done that with many underdog sports films (Remember the Titans, Miracle, McFarland, USA…) Their latest is focused on the 1952 Coast Guard mission that is considered to be one of the greatest and most daring rescues to date. The SS Pendleton was an oil tanker caught in the middle of a huge storm off the coast of Cape Cod. The gale force winds whipped through at 50-60Read More →

Movie Review: LONE SURVIVOR

LONE SURVIVOR Director: Peter Berg Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch, Eric Bana, Yousuf Azami Based on the book of the same name by Marcus Luttrell, Lone Survivor takes us front and center on the impact of Operation Red Wings, a reconnaissance and surveillance mission to track down and capture Taliban leader Ahmad Shah (Azami) in 2005. Marcus Luttrell (Wahlberg), Michael Murphy (Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Hirsch), and Matt Axelson (Foster) were the four Navy SEALs assigned to this covert mission in the mountains of Afghanistan. Their hideout is quickly compromised by the locals and their cover is blown. It is only aRead More →
