LOVE, SIMON Director: Greg Berlanti Starring: Nick Robinson, Katherine Langford, Jennifer Garner, Josh Duhamel, Alexandra Shipp, Logan Miller, Keiynan Lonsdale, Miles Heizer, Joey Pollari, Clark Moore, Tony Hale, Natasha Rothwell It’s a little shocking to think that it took until 2018 to finally have a teen movie whose lead character is gay. We have seen plenty of gay characters on television and in movies before, but they’re usually the sassy sidekicks offering moral support to the female protagonist. Love, Simon finally breaks that convention in telling Simon’s story. Nick Robinson (Jurassic World) plays the titular character who explains to the audience in his opening narrationRead More →

DRAFT DAY Director: Ivan Reitman Starring: Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner, Denis Leary, Frank Langella, Josh Pence, Chadwick Boseman, Terry Crews, Ellen Burstyn, Arian Foster, Tom Welling 2014 seems to be the year of Kevin Costner. It’s only April and he has already been featured in three releases, though I must admit I didn’t see either Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit or 3 Days to Kill. I am happy to witness this Costner resurgence – he seemed to have taken a break from acting – since his performance in last year’s Man of Steel was one of that film’s better aspects. We have seen him in numerousRead More →

DALLAS BUYERS CLUBDirector: Jean-Marc Vallée Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Jared Leo, Denis O’Hare, Steve Zahn, Dallas Roberts Dallas Buyers Club has already gotten huge buzz as it is also “The Movie Where Matthew McConaughey Lost a Lot of Weight”. Pictures of a very gaunt McConaughey and Jared Leto in drag surfaced while filming and it made all the headlines.

He takes matters into his own hands by taking alternative non-approved drugs and smuggling them from all over the country. Word spreadsRead More →
