Movie Review: THE TOMORROW WAR

THE TOMORROW WAR Director: Chris McKayStarring: Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski, Sam Richardson, Edwin Hodge, Betty Gilpin, J.K. Simmons, Jasmine Mathews The big fourth of July tentpole movie won’t be opening in theaters this year but is a new Amazon Prime film with Chris Pratt. The Tomorrow War premieres on Amazon July 2. Early on we hear Chris Pratt’s character Dan Forester proclaim that he’s meant to do something special after learning he’s rejected for a new job. He’s a high school teacher and that neighborly guy next door wanting something more in life. What comes next is something he could never have imagined. Soldiers fromRead More →

Movie Review: ONWARD

ONWARD Director: Dan ScanlonStarring: Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer, Lena Waithe, John Ratzenberger  Tom Holland and Chris Pratt take a temporary leave from the Marvel Cinematic Universe to enter the world of Pixar in Onward. Holland voices the role of Ian. He’s an elf celebrating his 16th birthday. He’s looking to reinvent himself on this momentous day, but he can’t help but wish his dad was still alive to celebrate with him.

Movie Review: JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM

JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM Director: J.A. Bayona Starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rafe Spall, Jeff Goldblum, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, James Cromwell, Toby Jones, Ted Levine, BD Wong, Geraldine Chaplin, Isabella Sermon I didn’t think we could get much worse in the Jurassic franchise than the first sequel, The Lost World, in 1997. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom attempts to reach such lows. To be quite fair, it’s been years since I’ve watched The Lost World, so I can’t accurately assess which ranks as the worst in the franchise’s history. Since we were last on the island of Isla Nublar, the island is in roughRead 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: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 Writer/Director: James Gunn Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Kurt Russell, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan, Sean Gunn In 2014, Marvel took a chance at a fairly unknown series in their canon named Guardians of the Galaxy and unleashed it as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It felt fresh and exciting for the superhero genre and made star Chris Pratt a bona fide action star. Three years later, the sequel is here to make fans laugh all over again. Chris Pratt leads our group of Guardians as PeterRead More →

Movie Review: THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Director: Antoine Fuqua Starring: Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Peter Sarsgaard, Byung-hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Martin Sensmeier, Haley Bennett, Matt Bomer, Luke Grimes Within the same month I’ve seen two new westerns that have hit the big screen. The first was Hell or High Water, which is currently resting toward the top of my year end best list. Now comes the release of the remake of The Magnificent Seven, a movie that will not be on that list. It’s the late 1800s and the small town of Rose Creek is facing a bit of a dust up when industrialistRead More →

Movie Review: JURASSIC WORLD

JURASSIC WORLD Director: Colin Trevorrow Starring: Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, Vincent D’Onofrio, BD Wong, Jake Johnson, Irrfan Khan, Judy Greer The original 1993 Steven Spielberg film, Jurassic Park, is a classic that has scared audiences for two decades. No sequel could ever top that film, but holy moly, the fourth film in the franchise comes closer to replicating that mix of awe, wonder, and fright that neither The Lost World nor Jurassic Park III could accomplish before. Twenty-two years have passed and John Hammond’s idea of having a dinosaur amusement park has become a fully realized attraction. Isla Nublar isRead More →

Movie Trailer: JURASSIC WORLD

JURASSIC WORLD Director: Colin Trevorrow Starring: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong, Judy Greer, Ty Simpkins, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jake Johnson Hold on to your butts! John Hammond’s (the late Richard Attenborough) original idea for a dinosaur theme park is now open and fully functional. The beginning of the trailer sets up the grand fun that can be had as a visitor. Behind closed doors, it appears the park’s scientists are working on a genetically mutated hybrid dinosaur. It all goes to hell from there. I’m holding out hope that this will be better than The Lost World or Jurassic Park 3. We have aRead More →
