Movie Review: A QUIET PLACE PART II

A QUIET PLACE PART II Writer/Director: John KrasinskiStarring: Emily Blunt, Noah Jupe, Millicent Simmonds, Cillian Murphy, Djimon Hounsou Funnyman John Krasinski shocked audiences with A Quiet Place, now he and wife Emily Blunt are back for another adrenaline ride with A Quiet Place Part II. Emily Blunt’s Evelyn Abbott knows their family compound is no longer safe from the alien creatures that hunt by sound. Despite having just given birth, she along with her baby, son Marcus (Jupe) and daughter Regan (Simmonds) venture out hoping to find new shelter and supplies. Their journey leads them to a family friend’s underground bunker, but it’s Regan whoRead More →

Movie Review: DUNKIRK

DUNKIRK Writer/Director: Christopher Nolan Starring: Fionn Whitehead, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, Harry Styles, Jack Lowden Dunkirk is yet another example of how Christopher Nolan can masterfully tackle any genre. Over the past decade, we’ve seen him go through space and time continuums with Interstellar, a superhero saga with The Dark Knight Trilogy, and dive deep into our dreams and subconscious with Inception. All of his films tell vastly different stories, yet are unmistakably his movies. With Dunkirk, he turns to the harrowing World War II battle in France between the Allies and the Germans. The British and French armies have beenRead More →

BluRay Review: FREE FIRE

FREE FIRE Director: Ben Wheatley Starring: Cillian Murphy, Brie Larson, Armie Hammer, Sam Riley, Jack Reynor, Sharlto Copley, Babou Cesasy Director Ben Wheatley, best known for High-Rise and Sightseers, is back with a taught shoot out style film set in the late 1970s. I mention the decade as those slick 70s suits provide for some slick padding from the hundreds of bullets that fly across the screen in Free Fire’s 90 minute runtime. The set up up includes Cillian Murphy’s Chris who’s partnered with Brie Larson and Armie Hammer and a few others for a gun trade in an old abandoned warehouse. They meet upRead More →

Movie Review: TRANSCENDENCE

TRANSCENDENCE Director: Wally Pfister Starring: Johnny Depp, Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy When rumblings started coming out that Wally Pfister would be making his directorial debut, I got pretty excited. He is an Academy Award-winning cinematographer for his work on Christopher Nolan’s Inception , and I think his work on Nolan’s Batman trilogy is exquisite, especially the IMAX sequences. As the technology continues to grow, there is an ever growing debate on whether films should be shot using digital cameras or on film. His continues to champion the use of 35mm film over digital, but has acknowledged he would considerRead More →

Movie Review: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Director: Christopher Nolan Starring: Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Matthew Modine All good things must come to end. Finding the proper send off to a beloved trilogy is tricky. The audience has spent the last two movies invested in classic characters and rich storytelling and you do not want to be let down by some lackluster finale. Audiences will not remember The Return of the Jedi or The Godfather Part III as the best in the series. However, I firmly believe The Lord of the Rings: The ReturnRead More →
