Movie Review: THE TENDER BAR

THE TENDER BAR Director: George ClooneyStarring: Ben Affleck, Daniel Ranieri, Tye Sheridan, Lily Rabe, Christopher Lloyd, Briana Middleton George Clooney takes a big 180 as a director from going into space last year with the ambitious The Midnight Sky to a Long Island pub for the true story The Tender Bar. It’s 1973, and a young JR and his mom are forced to move into his grandpa’s house after his father left the family for a job in radio. JR’s only connection to his father is hearing his voice on the radio. Grandpa’s house is a revolving door of cousins, laughter, and Uncle Charlie. UncleRead More →

Movie Review: MONEY MONSTER

MONEY MONSTER Director: Jodie Foster Starring: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jack O’Connell, Dominic West, Giancarlo Esposito George. Julia. Jodie. All three Oscar winners are teaming up for a sharp edge of your seat thriller that feels all too realistic. George Clooney plays Lee Gates, a Jim Cramer type host of a cable show called Money Monster. He’s a showy kind of host who’s not afraid to veer off the script to be the hotshot star. The show is devoted to the New York Stock Exchange, and he’s considered the “Wizard of Wall Street.” He recently predicted the stock of a company named IBIS to skyrocket,Read More →

MY DEFINITIVE RANKING OF BATMAN ON THE BIG SCREEN

MY DEFINITIVE RANKING OF BATMAN ON THE BIG SCREEN Batman is making another return to the big screen this weekend with Zach Snyder’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. This is the second film in DC Comics’ larger Justice League universe. The Caped Crusader is my all-time favorite superhero. I even donned the cape and cowl for Halloween one year when I was a kid. I thought I would take a look back at the many iterations we’ve seen of the character. We’ve seen a variety of Oscar winners, villains, styles, themes, bat logos, and nipples in the eight movies that have come before. Let’sRead More →

HAIL, CAESAR! Director: Joel and Ethan Coen Starring: George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes, Channing Tatum, Frances McDormand, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill, David Krumholtz, Fred Melamed, Wayne Knight Joel and Ethan Coen are back with a tribute to the golden days of Hollywood. Eddie Mannix (Brolin) is the studio fixer for Capitol Pictures Studios. Their current film Hail, Caesar: A Tale of the Christ is the studio’s biggest film to date. He doesn’t want to offend anyone in its depiction of Christ so he’s brought on some advisors to get their opinion on the matter. I’ll have more on that laterRead More →

Movie Review: TOMORROWLAND

TOMORROWLAND Director: Brad Bird Starring: Britt Robertson, George Clooney, Raffey Cassidy, Hugh Laurie, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key, Tim McGraw George Clooney is starring in a big summer film geared toward a younger audience. Wait a minute; did I travel back in time to 1997 with the release of Batman & Robin? No, thank goodness I haven’t. This time he’s heading into the future with writer/director Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol). As a young boy, Frank Walker (then played by Thomas Robinson) was determined to keep his dreams alive of being an inventor. He created a jet pack, but never worked out all ofRead More →

Movie Review: THE MONUMENTS MEN

THE MONUMENTS MEN Director: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bob Balaban, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, Bill Murray, Jean Dujardin, Dimitri Leonidas, Cate Blanchett As we all know George Clooney is a man of many talents. He has won Oscars for acting (Syriana) and producing (Argo) and has been nominated for his writing and directing efforts (Good Night, and Good Luck). These are just some of the high caliber credits under his belt. Plus, he is pretty darn good to look at on any given day of the week. His latest project, The Monuments Men, has him wearing many hats again as he acts, directs, writes, andRead More →

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER–The 2013 Full Uncensored Directors and Writers Roundtable Earlier this month, I posted “The Actors Roundtable” from The Hollywood Reporter and now two more have been released in this series, “The Directors Roundtable” and “The Writers Roundtable”.
