Movie Review: THE BEGUILED

THE BEGUILED Writer/Director: Sofia Coppola Starring: Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning, Oona Laurence Oscar winning writer and director Sofia Coppola is back and puts her stamp on a 1971 Clint Eastwood film of the same name. It’s 1864 and three years into the Civil War. Nicole Kidman stars as Miss Martha who runs a private all-girls home deep in an old seminary. It’s nestled within a secluded area in Virginia. She oversees six girls who live there as they’re getting their education by Edwina (Dunst), tending to the gardens, and doing other household chores.

Movie Review: 20th CENTURY WOMEN

20th CENTURY WOMEN Writer/Director: Mike Mills Starring: Annette Bening, Greta Gerwig, Elle Fanning, Lucas Jade Zumann, Billy Crudup 20th Century Women is another reminder why Annette Bening is one of the best actresses of her generation. She isn’t the kind of actress that cranks out a big blockbuster film every year. Each one she makes seems to be made for a particular reason. She’s one of the three women that make up the title. As Dorothea, she plays single mom to her son Jamie (Zumann). She had Jamie late in life at the age of 40 and shortly after that her husband, his father leftRead More →

Movie Review: LIVE BY NIGHT

LIVE BY NIGHT Director: Ben Affleck Starring: Ben Affleck, Chris Messina, Zoe Saldana, Elle Fanning, Chris Cooper, Robert Glenister, Sienna Miller, Titus Welliver, Remo Girone, Brendan Gleeson Author Dennis Lehane has had many of his novels grace the big screen like Mystic River, Shutter Island, and the Ben Affleck-directed Gone Baby Gone.

Movie Review: MALEFICENT

MALEFICENT Director: Robert Stromberg Starring: Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley, Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple, Lesley Manville, Sam Riley, Brenton Thwaites We all have an idea of who Maleficent is from the tale of Sleeping Beauty. Disney has taken one of the most diabolical villains and put a fresh twist on a character we all thought we knew. Maleficent (Jolie) is a powerful fairy who lives in the trees of a magical kingdom called The Moors that borders the human kingdom. She has two horns and gigantic wings enabling her to fly all over the kingdom, and her lively spirit fits right in with theRead More →
