Movie Review: MASS

MASS Director: Fran KranzStarring: Martha Plimpton, Jason Isaacs, Ann Down, Reed Birney Four of the best performances I’ve seen all year are in the intimate new film, Mass. You may know Fran Kranz as an actor having appeared in The Cabin in the Woods and The Village. He’s making his film debut as a writer and director with Mass. It centers on two couples Gail and Jay (Martha Plimpton and Jason Isaacs) and Richard and Linda (Reed Birney and Ann Dowd) They come together in the basement room of a church for the first time in years hoping for forgiveness, understanding, and closure. They willRead More →

Movie Review: THE DARK TOWER

THE DARK TOWER Director: Nikolaj Arcel Starring: Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Dennis Haysbert, Fran Kranz, Jackie Earle Haley It was hard for me to not go into The Dark Tower with a little bit of bias. I consider myself a lifelong and devoted fan of Stephen King, yet this eight book series isn’t as deep in my DNA like some of his other works. I’m currently in the middle of reading the series for the first time. It’s an immensely rich universe that asks a lot out of its readers, but the end product is so rewarding. I say this all as aRead More →

Movie Rewind: THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (2012)

Originally posted April 16, 2012 THE CABIN IN THE WOODS Director: Drew Goddard Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Jesse Williams, Kristin Connolly, Richard Jenkins, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Bradley Whitford, Amy Acker, Sigourney Weaver Like any low budget horror movie, The Cabin in the Woods follows five college aged students as they head to a deserted cabin in the woods for a little rest and relaxation. Naturally, someone knows someone who knows someone who owns the cabin. All of your favorite horror movie characters are represented: the jock (Hemsworth), the brain (Williams), the horny blonde girlfriend of the jock (Anna Hutchison), the smart brunette (Connelly), and theRead More →

Movie Rewind: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (2013)

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING Director: Joss Whedon Starring: Alexis Denisof, Amy Acker, Fran Kranz, Jillian Morgese, Reed Diamond, Clark Gregg, Nathan Fillion Buffy. Angel. The Avengers. Shakespeare? Of course! I do not think many people expected a Shakespeare adaptation as Whedon’s follow-up to Marvel’s The Avengers. Maybe the die-hard Whedonites who track his every move were aware of his love of Shakespeare. Preparations are in order for a masquerade that evening at the house of Leonato (Gregg). Upon the arrival of Benedick (Denisof), Beatrice (Acker) seems to be the only one less than enthused by his visit. A sharp throw of words between the twoRead More →
