Movie Review: THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER

THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER Director: Taika WaititiStarring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, Christian Bale, Russell Crowe Taika Waititi is a jack of trades winning an Oscar for his film Jojo Rabbit to producing multiple TV series and now he’s back with his second Thor movie for Marvel. Thor: Love and Thunder is the best Thor movie date. Chris Hemsworth is once again back as Thor, god of thunder, and movie kicks off with a little catch up with what Thor’s been up to since Avengers Endgame. He’s been working closely with the Guardians of the Galaxy and getting back into God-like shape. He receivesRead More →

Movie Review: AVENGERS: ENDGAME

AVENGERS: ENDGAME Director: Anthony and Joe RussoStarring: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Brie Larson, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, Josh Brolin, Bradley Cooper, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle, Karen Gillan When we last left our Avengers at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, we saw many of them disappear as dust in the wind. The big bad Thanos (Brolin) got his hands on all six infinity stones, placed them on his gauntlet glove, and snapped his finger. Just like that it changed the course of the Marvel franchise. Avengers: Endgame picks up with the remaining survivors in mourning unable to shakeRead More →

Movie Review: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Brolin, Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Zoe Saldana, Paul Bettany Marvel fans have spent the last ten years and eighteen movies engrossed in a variety of superheroes and villains duking it in order to save Earth and other galactic empires. Some have proven more successful than others, yet Marvel fatigue never seems to set in even after all these years. They’re coming off one of my favorites and their biggest hit to date, Black Panther,Read More →

Movie Review: 12 STRONG

12 STRONG Director: Nicolai Fuglsig Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña, Navid Negahban, Trevante Rhodes, Austin Stowell, William Fichtner, Rob Riggle Chris Hemsworth has proven with a variety of comedic roles that he can successfully transition out of his work as Thor into other genres and stories. The catch is that he needs a good enough script to give him something to work with to differentiate himself from the beefcake image we associate with Thor. 12 Strong doesn’t live up to the challenge. It’s based on a true story following the tragic events of 9/11. Hemsworth plays Captain Mitch Nelson who has just movedRead More →

Movie Review: THOR: RAGNAROK

THOR: RAGNAROK Director: Taika Waititi Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, Idris Elba, Karl Urban Chris Hemsworth will forever be known as Thor, the god of thunder. Thor: Ragnarok is his third solo entry in the franchise on top of the two Avengers ensemble movies. He knows how to use his charm and mighty strength to get himself out of any situation. He manages to escape from the fire demon Surfur and learns his father Odin (Hopkins) is no longer on their home planet of Asgard. Brother Loki (Hiddleston) has banished him to New York City,Read More →

Movie Rewind: THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (2012)

Originally posted April 16, 2012 THE CABIN IN THE WOODS Director: Drew Goddard Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Jesse Williams, Kristin Connolly, Richard Jenkins, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Bradley Whitford, Amy Acker, Sigourney Weaver Like any low budget horror movie, The Cabin in the Woods follows five college aged students as they head to a deserted cabin in the woods for a little rest and relaxation. Naturally, someone knows someone who knows someone who owns the cabin. All of your favorite horror movie characters are represented: the jock (Hemsworth), the brain (Williams), the horny blonde girlfriend of the jock (Anna Hutchison), the smart brunette (Connelly), and theRead More →

Movie Review: GHOSTBUSTERS

GHOSTBUSTERS Director: Paul Feig Starring: Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Chris Hemsworth, Ed Begley Jr., Zach Woods, Charles Dance There’s a line in the classic Ray Parker, Jr. theme song that states, “I ain’t afraid of no ghosts.” I’m here to say that you shouldn’t be afraid of this movie. This new take on Ghostbusters will have you laughing from start to finish. Kristen Wiig plays Erin Gilbert, a nervous university professor who has put her days of tracking the paranormal behind her. She was firmly under the impression that her book, “Ghosts from the Past” was long forgotten until the headRead More →

Movie Review: THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR

THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR Director: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, Nick Frost, Sam Claflin, Alexandra Roach, Rob Brydon I feel like it’s a little redundant these days with the fairy tale genre to claim that there’s “one story you haven’t heard yet.” That’s precisely how The Huntsman: Winter’s War opens as we get a little insight thanks to some Liam Neeson narration. I don’t know if I’ve ever lamented my disdain when movies overly rely on narration to fill in plot points and unnecessarily describe exposition details. We were first introduced to Charlize Theron’s Evil Queen Ravenna in 2012’sRead More →

Movie Review: VACATION

VACATION Writers/Directors: John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein Starring: Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Skyler Gisondo, Steele Stebbins, Leslie Mann, Chris Hemsworth, Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo It’s been 18 years since the last Griswold family vacation in 1997’s Vegas Vacation. There’s a reason for that as that film was extremely disappointing and put a nail in that coffin. We are in a trend where franchises and series seem to be resurrected after decades away to appease the fans. I may have been in the minority in thinking that the idea of a new Griswold family vacation seemed promising. I liked the idea that it wouldRead More →

Movie Trailer: VACATION

VACATION Writer/Director: John Francis Daley, Jonathan M. Goldstein Starring: Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Leslie Mann, Chevy Case, Beverly D’Angelo, Chris Hemsworth           The last time we checked in with the Griswolds they were in Vegas playing Keno. Vegas Vacation did not live up to expectations and basically killed the franchise. I think enough time has passed and audience members are willing to give them another chance. I wouldn’t call this a reboot or remake as we are picking up with the same characters and actors that have come before. Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo are back as Clark and Ellen. PerRead More →
