Movie Review: LOVE & MERCY

LOVE & MERCY Director: Bill Pohlad Starring: Paul Dano, John Cusack, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Giamatti, Jake Abel, Kenny Wormald, Bill Camp If you love movies that delve into your favorite singers or musical groups, you’ll want to check out Love & Mercy starring Paul Dano and John Cusack who both play Brian Wilson, the lead singer of The Beach Boys. The movie goes back and forth between two different time periods in his life. Dano plays Wilson in the 1960s as he was coming off a successful tour with the group.

Movie Trailer: SALINGER

SALINGERDirector: Shane SalernoStarring: Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, John Cusack, John Guare, Tom Wolfe, Danny DeVito When I saw Blue Jasmine last week, I was fascinated by a new documentary coming out from Shane Salerno. Salerno digs deep into the life of reclusive author J.D. Salinger.

Movie Review: LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER

LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLERDirector: Lee DanielsStarring: Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo, Lenny Kravitz, Cuba Gooding, Jr. Terrence Howard Director Lee Daniels has lined up one hell of an ensemble for his latest movie. The movie is a who’s who of Oscar winners and heavy hitters. Do not let the trailer fool you; the story is more about the butler’s family than all the presidents the butler worked for.

When he is old enough to leave that volatile environment, he gets taken inRead More →

Movie Rewind: THE PAPERBOY

THE PAPERBOY (2012) Director: Lee Daniels Starring: Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, John Cusack It is the summer of 1969 and it is one hell of a scorcher out there. “God must have been sweating it was so hot”, proclaims Anita Chester (Gray). Sherriff Call killed so many of the African-Americans in this small Florida town that even the white people were afraid of him. That is until the day he wound up dead. She introduces all of the key players in this tale of sweat, murder, and the wrongful imprisonment of the man accused of the murder of Sherriff Call. At the time,Read More →
