Movie Review: SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Director: Jon WattsStarring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jamie Foxx, Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Benedict Wong, Tony Revolori Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is back, and I’m here to say that Spider-Man: No Way Home is the best Spider-Man film to date. There’s no wasting time for director Jon Watts and his writing team of Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna. It picks up moments after the events of the second film Far From Home as Spider-Man’s real identity is revealed to be of the teenage Peter Parker. His life is forever changed as now all eyesRead More →

Movie Review: SOUL

SOUL Director: Pete Docter, Kemp PowersStarring: Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey, Phylicia Rashad, Angela Bassett, Graham Norton, Daveed Diggs, Questlove, Donnell Rawlings, Wes Studi Pixar has taken us to infinity and beyond and inside the mind of a young girl. Their new film Soul takes us deep within ourselves. Jamie Foxx lends his dynamic voice to Joe Gardner, a band teacher who finds himself stuck in a bit of a rut as his kids are unmotivated and lacking any enthusiasm for jazz. Joe gets the opportunity to play at a prestigious night club with the illustrious Dorothea Williams voiced by Angela Bassett. His night doesn’t goRead More →

JUST MERCY Director: Destin Daniel CrettonStarring: Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, Brie Larson, Rob Morgan, Tim Blake Nelson, Rafe Spall, O’Shea Jackson Jr. Just Mercy takes us back to Monroe County Alabama in 1987. Michael B. Jordan plays Bryan Stevenson a recent Harvard Law graduate who partners with Eva Ansley (Larson) to provide legal services for death row inmates. One of his new clients is Walter McMillian, played by Jamie Foxx, who was wrongfully sentenced for the murder of an 18 year old woman.

Movie Review: BABY DRIVER

BABY DRIVER Writer/Director: Edgar Wright Starring: Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Lily James, Jamie Foxx, Jon Bernthal, Flea, Eiza González At one point, writer and director Edgar Wright was attached to direct Marvel’s Ant-Man back in 2015. If his departure from that film meant more time for Baby Driver than it’s another example of a blessing in disguise. Wright’s latest is one of the coolest and most fun times you’ll have at the theater this year. Ansel Elgort, the teen heartthrob from The Fault in Our Stars, stars in the title role as Baby. He’s a driver working under Kevin Spacey’s Doc who isRead More →

Movie Review: ANNIE

ANNIE Director: Will Gluck Starring: Quvenzhané Wallis, Cameron Diaz, Jamie Foxx, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Stephanie Kurtzuba, Tracie Thoms, Dorian Missick Many people grew up watching Annie whether it was on stage or the Carol Burnett movie from 1982. It has received a modern twist in the latest version of the classic musical. Annie (Wallis) is a foster girl from Harlem living with a group of other girls under the pseudo-strict guide of Miss Hannigan (Diaz). In this version, Miss Hannigan is a washed up pop singer who used to be a member of the ‘90s group C&C Music Factory. Annie is aRead More →

Movie Review: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Director: Marc Webb Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Sally Field, Paul Giamatti, B.J. Novack, Campbell Scott, Denis Leary, Chris Cooper With the multitude of comic book movies released every year, the bar has been set pretty high with Marvel’s The Avengers and The Dark Knight trilogy. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is the sequel to the reboot and technically the fifth Spidey tale since the release of 2002’s Spider-Man. Have I confused you yet? When we last saw our web-slinging hero, Captain Stacy (Leary) admits to Peter Parker (Garfield) that there is a need for Spider-Man but pleadsRead More →

Movie Trailer: ANNIE

ANNIE Director: Will Gluck Starring: Quvenzhané Wallis, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Rose Byrne, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Bobby Cannavale One of the movies I remember watching as a child was the 1982 film adaptation of the musical Annie. It starred Aileen Quinn as the red haired title character, Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, the legendary Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan, plus Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters. Trepidation took over when it was announced that their would be a remake. There was already a television version a few years ago with Kathy Bates as Miss Hannigan. You really can’t top the 1982 film version, so why are weRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Director: Mark Webb Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Paul Giamatti, Dane DeHaan, Chris Cooper, Sally Field, Denis Leary The 2012 reboot The Amazing Spider-Man seemed a bit too soon to revitalize a franchise with a brand new cast. While I did not think the film was that strong overall, director Mark Webb and his cast did a decent job at setting the groundwork for some exciting new Spidey stories. The new teaser trailer has been released and naturally is long enough and filled with enough footage that it feels like your standard trailer. The new film brings in ChrisRead More →

Movie Review: DJANGO UNCHAINED

DJANGO UNCHAINED Writer/Director: Quentin Tarantino Starring: Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson I had a feeling after I saw the vintage studio logo and the opening credit sequence that I was going to love the latest cinematic achievement from Quentin Tarantino. The year is 1858, two years before the Civil War. A group of slaves is chained up walking through the woods with two of their masters, The Speck Brothers. Django (Foxx) is one of the many slaves in the chain. A mysterious cart and horse approaches them and Dr. King Schultz (Waltz) steps out claiming he is interested inRead More →
