Movie Review: CRISIS

CRISIS Writer/Director: Nicholas JareckiStarring: Gary Oldman, Evangeline Lilly, Luke Evans, Lily-Rose Depp, Greg Kinnear, Kid Cudi, Michelle Rodriguez Writer/director Nicholas Jarecki tackles the opioid epidemic in his new film Crisis. He explores three different stories of how the opioid crisis has a damaging effect on those caught in its web of destruction.  Gary Oldman plays a university professor who is testing the outcomes of an experimental non-addictive pain killer on lab rats. The results have been disastrous, a far cry from what the pharmaceutical team would like to see as they want it pushed out on the market as fast as possible. We also haveRead More →

Movie Review: ANT-MAN AND THE WASP

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Director: Peyton Reed Starring: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Peña, Hannah John-Kamen, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, David Dastmalchian, T.I., Walton Goggins, Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer If you’re up to date on your Marvel Cinematic Universe, you may remember the topical and powerful nature of Black Panther and the serious, and somewhat depressing, nature of Avengers: Infinity War. We still don’t know who lived and died in that film. Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige has lightened things up for their third film in 2018. One of the notable heroes missing from Infinity War was Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man. We last saw him inRead More →

Movie Review: ANT-MAN

ANT-MAN Director: Peyton Reed Starring: Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Corey Stoll, Evangeline Lilly, Bobby Cannavale, Judy Greer, Michael Peña, David Dastmalchian, Tip “T.I.” Harris It’s time for another Marvel movie, thus concluding Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. You may have thought that Avengers: Age of Ultron would have been the conclusion, but they’ve snuck this little guy in there and tied him into the story lines of what came before in terms of the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D, and Hydra. Scott Lang (Rudd) is seen enjoying his last few hours in prison by getting a goodbye ritual. He is looking forward to getting his lifeRead More →

Movie Review: THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES Director: Peter Jackson Starring: Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Evangeline Lilly, Lee Pace, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Cate Blanchett, Aidan Turner When we last saw Bilbo Baggins (Freeman) and Thorin Oakenshield (Armitage) at the Lonely Mountain, they witnessed the escape of the dragon Smaug (Cumberbatch). Smaug unleashes his fury by destroying the small city of Lake-town where some of the other dwarves, along with elves Tauriel (Lilly) and Legolas (Bloom), are presiding. Have no fear as some of them are able to escape before the wooden island burns down. Thorin becomes highly protective overRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES Director: Peter Jackson Starring: Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellen, Lee Pace, Evangeline Lilly, Luke Evans, Richard Armitage, Cate Blanchett Fans have been a bit hesitant when it comes to The Hobbit movies. I can understand the frustration as Peter Jackson and his writing team of Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens took one book and turned it into three movies by adding characters and taking details from the appendices. So far, they are nowhere near as good as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but I feel like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was heading inRead More →

Movie Review: THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG Director: Peter Jackson Starring: Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Evangeline Lilly, Richard Armitage, Lee Pace, Cate Blanchett, Luke Evans, Ken Scott, Aidan Turner, Stephen Hunter It was around this time last year that we were introduced to Peter Jackson’s version of “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien.  The first film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, was hit with some hesitation and disapproval. The second part in this new trilogy, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, should hopefully bring some uptight fans back for more. Our fearless gang led by Gandalf the Wizard (McKellen), head dwarf Thorin Oakenshield (Armitage), twelveRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG Director: Peter Jackson Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Evangeline Lilly, Hugo Weaving, Richard Armitage, Luke Evans, Lee Pace, Orlando Bloom As we saw at the end of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the dragon Smaug (Cumberbatch) has awoken in the Lonely Mountain. The second part in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy continues on with Biblo (Freeman) and his adventure with Gandalf (McKellen) , Thorin Oakenshield (Armitage), and the rest of the dwarves to take on the Smaug (Cumberbatch) and reclaim The Lonely Moutain. This film will also see the return of Orlando Bloom as the Elven PrinceRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY Director: Peter Jackson Starring: Martin Freeman as Bilbo Ian McKellen as Gandalf Cate Blanchett as Galadriel Andy Serkis as Gollum Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield Evangeline Lilly as Tauriel The latest trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has been released today. I absolutely love The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and it currently holds a place in My Top 10 List. I am embarrassed to say that I have yet to read the Tolkien novel, so I am fairly clueless of the adventures of a young Bilbo Baggins. The movie has gone through some turbulent times on its wayRead More →
