Movie Review: DUNE

DUNE Director: Denis VilleneuveStarring: Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Stellan Skarsgård, Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, David Dastmalchian One of the most highly-anticipated films of the year is the latest adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic novel Dune. Writer/director Denis Villeneuve brings Herbert’s world to life in a breathtaking jaw-dropping fashion. The planet of Arrakis is beautiful when the sun is low. It’s rich commodity known as the spice is coveted by all. There are spice harvesters at night and sand worms to test nefarious wanderers.

Movie Review: BLADE RUNNER 2049

BLADE RUNNER 2049 Director: Denis Villeneuve Starring: Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Robin Wright, Jared Leto, Dave Bautista, Mackenzie Davis, Barkhad Abdi, Sylvia Hoeks The release of Blade Runner in 1982 was groundbreaking in the sci-fi genre. Director Ridley Scott and star Harrison Ford presented a dark and bleak story set in 2019 about an artificial intelligence species and the cops that were tasked to destroy them. Thirty years have passed since the events of the first movie, and the future is still grim in California in 2049. The bioengineered humans known as replicants have nearly been destroyed and the few remaining haveRead More →

Movie Review: ARRIVAL

ARRIVAL Director: Denis Villeneuve Starring: Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg, Tzi Ma In the last few years we have seen an increase in intelligent films about space exploration and the possibility that something else may be out there. Arrival is one to add to that list with its insightful probe on how we communicate with extra-terrestrials. Don’t worry; this feels more Close Encounters of the Third Kind than say the dreadful Independence Day Resurgence. This is the first of two high-profile films for Amy Adams this year. She also stars alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in Nocturnal Animals. Here she plays Dr. Louise Banks,Read More →

Movie Review: PRISONERS

PRISONERSDirector: Denis VilleneuveStarring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Jackman, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Paul Dano, Melissa Leo This twisty ethical child abduction mystery thriller will have people pretty divided. I can tell you that I was engrossed from the very first frame and did not check the watch in the entire two and a half hour run-time. No, this is not even my Jake Gyllenhaal bias showing through. Thanksgiving should be this joyful day spent with family and friends stuffing your face and having a peaceful time. For the Dover and Birch families, it will go down as the Thanksgiving they will never forget. AfterRead More →
