Movie Review: CRY MACHO

CRY MACHO Director: Clint EastwoodStarring: Clint Eastwood, Eduardo Minnett, Dwight Yoakam, Natalia Traven Clint Eastwood may be in his nineties, but he’s not slowing down as a director and actor. His latest film Cry Macho finds him back in the saddle as an aging cowboy. Eastwood’s character, Mike Milo, was once a prized rodeo star winning many titles and ribbons, but alcohol and accidents got the best of him. It’s now 1979 and his friend, Howard (Dwight Yoakam), asks Mike to head down to Mexico to rescue his son and bring him back to Texas. Mike agrees and convinces Howard’s son Raphael “Rafo” (Eduardo Minnett)Read More →

Movie Review: SULLY

SULLY Director: Clint Eastwood Starring: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney, Mike O’Malley, Jamey Sheridan, Anna Gunn I think many Americans can remember the story of the Miracle on the Hudson. When I heard it was getting the big screen treatment, I wasn’t surprised as it was only a matter of time before the rights were snatched up. I debated if it was even a story worth retelling. Was that the cynical side of me or can Hollywood be a bit predictable? I sighed a bit of relief once I realized the film wasn’t going to be a direct recreation of the situation in yourRead More →

Movie Review: AMERICAN SNIPER

AMERICAN SNIPER Director: Clint Eastwood Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Kyle Gallner, Sam Jaeger, Jonathan Groff Chris Kyle (Cooper) was told by his father at a very young age that he had a gift with guns. At that time, it was a simple shotgun for hunting pheasant and other wild game. His father also taught Chris how to protect himself and survive. These life lessons stuck with him into adulthood. Life as a cowboy in Texas isn’t giving Chris the satisfaction he needs in life so he joins the Navy SEALs. The attacks on September 11, 2001 cemented his need and mission to do whateverRead More →

Movie Review: JERSEY BOYS

JERSEY BOYS Director: Clint Eastwood Starring: John Lloyd Young, Vincent Piazza, Michael Lomenda, Erich Bergen, Johnny Cannizzaro, Christopher Walken, Joseph Russo Every year we get a new movie musical adapted from a hit Broadway show. As a music theater lover, it can be great seeing an exciting Broadway musical brought to life in a different medium. It gets people who may have seen the movie to go back and get tickets for the staged version or vice versa. We’ve seen big Hollywood actors take on this genre like Meryl Streep (Mamma Mia) or Hugh Jackman (Les Miserables) and sometimes we get actors from the originalRead More →

Movie Rewind: PLAY MISTY FOR ME (1971)

PLAY MISTY FOR ME (1971) Director: Clint Eastwood Starring: Clint Eastwood, Jessica Walter, Donna Mills, Irene Harvey “It was funny, I was calling you from that phonebox over there and he was telling me you’d left and I was staring at your car – isn’t that funny.” Last summer I spent a week in small town Minnesota visiting my fiancé while he was performing in “Gilligan’s Island” for the local townies. I found a weird joy about feeling secluded in a dark rustic cabin. Call me crazy, I know, but I was relishing in being away from work. I love thrillers and horror movies, soRead More →
