Movie Review: THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN

THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN Director: Martin McDonaghStarring: Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon, Barry Keoghan Renowned playwright, screenwriter, and director Martin McDonagh’s latest The Banshees of Inisherin, tackles the downfall of a long-term friendship, but like any McDonagh story, it’s no easy lesson. The film reunites Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson who both starred in McDonagh’s film In Bruges from 2008. Farrell stars as Pádraic who has been friends with Gleeson’s character, Colm, for many years. It’s just another day when Padraic stops by Colm’s house before they had to the pub for a beer. This time Colm doesn’t answer the door but is seenRead More →

Movie Review: THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH Writer/Director: Joel CoenStarring: Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, Kathryn Hunter, Alex Hassel, Brendan Gleeson, Bertie Carvel, Corey Hawkins There is no shortage of Shakespeare adaptations out there, but Joel Coen has directed a sharp take on the Scottish play with The Tragedy of Macbeth. Denzel Washington leads the film as the title character, Macbeth. He’s visited by three witches, all played by the great Kathryn Hunter, who convince him he should be the king of Scotland. As they say, “Fair is foul and foul is fair” With the help of his wife, Lady Macbeth, he believes their prophecies and kills King DuncanRead More →

Movie Review: THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS

THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS Director: Joel and Ethan Coen Starring: Tim Blake Nelson, Liam Neeson, Tom Waits, Zoe Kazan, Tyne Daly, Brendan Gleeson The Coen brothers are known to be risk takers with every project they take on. They have turned their latest film, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, into a collection of six short films posing as chapters of a book about the American frontier. The stories range from a singing cowboy (Nelson) with a quick shot to an old and lonely gold digger (Waits) concluding with one about a stagecoach of strangers carrying two bounty hunters. Here’s my reviewRead More →

Movie Review: LIVE BY NIGHT

LIVE BY NIGHT Director: Ben Affleck Starring: Ben Affleck, Chris Messina, Zoe Saldana, Elle Fanning, Chris Cooper, Robert Glenister, Sienna Miller, Titus Welliver, Remo Girone, Brendan Gleeson Author Dennis Lehane has had many of his novels grace the big screen like Mystic River, Shutter Island, and the Ben Affleck-directed Gone Baby Gone. The Affleck/Lehane collaboration continues with Live By Night, which is set in the Prohibition Era. As we hear in the opening narration, Joe Coughlin (Affleck) left Boston to become a soldier and came home an outlaw. He’s lived the bank robber life for ten years until it catches up with him.

Movie Review: EDGE OF TOMORROW

EDGE OF TOMORROW Director: Doug Liman Starring: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Brendan Gleeson, Jonas Armstrong, Kick Gurry, Tony Way I think I would be pretty disgruntled if I was thrown into war with aliens only to die, get stuck in a time loop, and then have to relive those two days all over again. Tom Cruise stars as military officer William Cage who wakes up and finds himself on a training base not sure of how he got there. He is approached by Master Sergeant Farell (Paxton) who takes him to his new combat team. Cage, who has no experience or training, isRead More →
