THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE Director: Michael ShowalterStarring: Jessica Chastain, Andrew Garfield, Vincent D’Onofrio, Cherry Jones, Sam Jaeger Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were larger than life personalities who spread their ministry to millions of people every day. The new film The Eyes of Tammy Faye shines a light on the rise and fall of the televangelists. Tammy Faye always had this fascination with Jesus in hopes of being saved. Jessica Chastain plays Tammy Faye throughout the decades the film covers. She would meet her husband Jim, played by Andrew Garfield, at Central Bible College in Minneapolis in1960. Tammy Faye was enamored with him. HeRead More →

DARK PHOENIX Writer/Director: Simon KinbergStarring: Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Jessica Chastain, Alexandra Shipp, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-Phee Jean Grey is a favorite among X-Men fans. She’s had quite the journey as we’ve seen in the comics and film series. Dark Phoenix acts as part origin story as it charts evolution as mutant into the fully fledged Dark Phoenix. Game of Thrones’ Sophie Turner returns to the role of Jean Grey after appearing in X-Men: Apocalypse. We learn as a young girl she accidentally caused the death of her parents in a car accident. Her powers of telepathy and telekinesisRead More →

IT: CHAPTER TWO Director: Andy MuschiettiStarring: Bill Skarsgård, Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Sophia Lillis, Jack Dylan Grazer, James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, James Ransone The new adaptation of It was a massive success at the box office breaking opening records for the horror genre. Unlike many horror sequels, IT: Chapter Two is not a cash grab. If you read the Stephen King opus or have seen the original Tim Curry version, you may remember that IT is told through the perspective of the Losers Club as children (as we saw in Part 1) and now, twenty-seven years later, as adults. The Losers Club reunitesRead More →

MISS SLOANE Director: John Madden Starring: Jessica Chastain, John Ligthgow, Sam Waterston, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Mark Strong, Alison Pill, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jake Lacy Lobbying is about foresight, making sure you surprise them, and they don’t surprise you. That’s the general rule of thumb for Miss Elizabeth Sloane, played with fierce determination by Jessica Chastain. She is forced to appear before a senate hearing, and you can tell it doesn’t look good for her. The movie then flashes back a few months to see how all of this unfolded. She is a tough, grab the bull by the horns type, and she’s known for her strong reputation.Read More →

THE HUNTSMAN: WINTER’S WAR Director: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, Nick Frost, Sam Claflin, Alexandra Roach, Rob Brydon I feel like it’s a little redundant these days with the fairy tale genre to claim that there’s “one story you haven’t heard yet.” That’s precisely how The Huntsman: Winter’s War opens as we get a little insight thanks to some Liam Neeson narration. I don’t know if I’ve ever lamented my disdain when movies overly rely on narration to fill in plot points and unnecessarily describe exposition details. We were first introduced to Charlize Theron’s Evil Queen Ravenna in 2012’sRead More →

THE MARTIAN Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Donald Glover, Sebastian Stan, Mackenzie Davis I love the fact that we are getting big space exploration movies back on the silver screen. We’ve seen films like Gravity and Interstellar open our minds to the depths of space, and now Ridley Scott is returning to his home turf with The Martian. I feel like he really excels in the sci-fi genre after films like Alien and Blade Runner. Frankly, we need something from him to help us forget about Exodus: Gods and Kings.Read More →

A MOST VIOLENT YEAR Writer/Director: J.C. Chandor Starring: Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, Albert Brooks, David Oyelowo, Alessandro Nivola, Elyes Gabel Oscar Isaac trades in Llewyn Davis’ pesky cat and guitar for a suitcase full of cash to play Abel Morales, the owner of Standard Heating Oil Co. He and his lawyer Andrew (Brooks) are one step closer to gaining a piece of property after signing a contract with a group of businessmen including Jerry Adler’s Josef. They still need to come up with the rest of the money that is needed to close the deal, but coming up with that money becomes a sticking pointRead More →
