Movie Review: F9

F9 Director: Justin LinStarring: Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Nathalie Emmanuel, John Cena, Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren, Sung Kang It’s been twenty years since The Fast and the Furious came out. Since then the franchise has re-ignited itself into a Hollywood juggernaut with no sign of slowing down, even after going to space. Yes, that is what happens in F9. One of the consistent themes of this franchise is that family is everything for Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto. F9 is a look at Dom’s backstory taking us back to when he was a kid as he and his brother Jakob workedRead More →

Movie Review: THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS

THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS Director: F. Gary Gray Starring: Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Kurt Russell, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Helen Mirren, Scott Eastwood Who would have thought that a street racing movie from 2001 starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker would still be going strong and onto its eighth movie in the franchise. It picks up with Dom (Diesel) and Letty (Rodriguez) vacationing in Havana where his cousin lives. It only makes sense in a movie like this that their vacation comes to an abrupt end when he attempts to help a stranded woman on the side of theRead More →

Movie Review: COLLATERAL BEAUTY

COLLATERAL BEAUTY Director: David Frankel Starring: Will Smith, Edward Norton, Kate Winslet, Michael Peña, Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley, Jacob Latimore, Naomie Harris, Ann Dowd Sometimes you need those movies that are a little bit schmaltzy to put you in just the right mood for Christmas. It can be a hard time for people who have lost a loved one whether it’s a child, parent, or significant other. This film is for that audience. You could consider Collateral Beauty a Christmas movie as the whole thing is set at that time, yet the script doesn’t directly refer to the holiday as much as you would expect.Read More →

Movie Review: THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY

THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEYDirector: Lasse HallströmStarring: Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal, Charlotte Le Bon Maybe it’s my love of cooking, eating, and anything related to food, but I am a sucker for a good foodie movie. We’ve got our second one this summer after Jon Favreau’s Chef which focused on the food truck movement. The Hundred-Foot Journey takes us to the French countryside. The Kadam family lost their family restaurant and everything else back in India due to a fire. After spending some unsuccessful time in England, they decide to take another journey and move to France. Papa (Puri) is bound and determined to get the restaurant business upRead More →

Movie Review: MONSTERS UNIVERSITY

MONSTERS UNIVERSITYDirector: Dan ScanlonStarring: Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Helen Mirren, Steve Buscemi, Sean Hayes, Dave Foley, John Krasinski, Aubrey Plaza, John Ratzenberger Pixar seems to be cranking out the sequels to their hits these days. I am relieved to say that Monsters University is no Cars 2. Truth be told, I have never seen Cars 2, but I heard disappointing things. Monsters University is their venture into prequel territory. A young Mike Wazowski is touring Monsters Inc. on a school trip and is beyond excited to one day become a scarer. One of the workers (Krasinski) leaves a lasting impression on him and tosses him his Monsters University baseball hat. YearsRead More →

Movie Review: HITCHCOCK

HITCHCOCK Director: Sacha Gervasi Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Michael Stuhlbarg, Danny Huston, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, James D’Arcy We take Hitchcock’s masterpiece Psycho as an important part of film history. Many regard it as his best movie. Many people probably do not know the trouble that the master of suspense had while making the movie, let alone even getting Paramount interested in distributing it. After the release of North By Northwest, Alfred Hitchcock (Hopkins) was looking for his next big movie. Numerous industry insiders questioned if he could deliver another successful movie. Was he getting too old to keep making hit movies? Hitchcock startedRead More →
