Movie Review: KING RICHARD

KING RICHARD Director: Reinaldo Marcus GreenStarring: Will Smith, Aunjanue Ellis, Saniyya Sidney, Demi Singleton, Tony Goldwyn, Jon Bernthal Will Smith gives the best performance of his career in King Richard. He stars as Richard Williams, the father of Venus (Sidney) and Serena (Singleton) Williams. He had a 78-page plan for his daughters to become the greatest tennis players of all time. This was all written up before they were even born. Richard, his wife Oracene (Ellis) and their five girls lived in a small house in Compton until Venus was allowed to practice at a world-renown training facility. The strength and power of family isRead More →

Movie Review: THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK

THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK Director: Alan TaylorStarring: Alessandro Nivola, Michael Gandolfini, Leslie Odom Jr, Ray Liotta, Vera Farmiga, Billy Magnussen, Corey Stoll, John Magara, Michela Dr Rossi, Jon Bernthal Fans of The Sopranos have been begging series creator David Chase for more since the finale aired 14 years ago. He has written a story that should please fans as he opens this world up to a time decades before Tony Soprano would leave a lasting impression. In his film, The Many Saints of Newark, a young Tony Soprano always looked up to his uncle Dickie Moltisanti, played by Alessandro Nivola. The name Moltisanti meansRead More →

Movie Review: FORD v FERRARI

FORD v FERRARI Director: James MangoldStarring: Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Caitriona Balfe, Josh Lucas, Jon Bernthal, Tracy Letts, Noah Jupe It’s 1966 and the Ford Motor Company is trailing behind Chevy and needs innovation to keep them ahead of the competition. One idea is to build an elite race car modeled after a Ferrari. After a business deal with Ferrari goes bad, this fuels the flames of building the car and racing against Ferrari at France’s Le Mans race. Helping them out is Matt Damon’s Carroll Shelby, a former Le Mans winner now turned car builder, and Christian Bale as Ken Miles, one of theRead More →

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: THE ACCOUNTANT

THE ACCOUNTANT Director: Gavin O’Connor Starring: Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey Tambor, John Lithgow, Jean Smart, Cynthia Addai-Robinson Ben Affleck is no stranger to the action genre. He’s currently in between Batman projects so he still has the body to take anybody down that gets in his path. The Accountant is slightly different than some of his other genre films. When Christian Wolff was a kid, he showed signs attributed to autism. He was a genius with numbers and had OCD type behavior. It was a time when kids didn’t live in a sensory-friendly world. Even his dad refused to acknowledgeRead More →

Movie Review: ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL

ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL Director: Alfonso Gomez-Rejon Starring: Thomas Mann, RJ Cyler, Olivia Cooke, Nick Offerman, Connie Britton, Molly Shannon, Jon Bernthal I always love it when a movie reaches you deep down to the core. Maybe it reminds you of your teen years or the central character is your teenage self projected on the big screen. Greg (Mann) is the “me” of the title and acts as the film’s narrator. He opens up by saying that his senior year was the worst year of his life. He spends most of his lunch hour hanging out with his best friend Earl (Cyler)Read More →

Movie Review: FURY

FURY Writer/Director: David Ayer Starring: Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman, Shia LaBeouf, Michael Peña, Jon Bernthal, Jim Parrack, Jason Isaacs It’s easy to think of Brad Pitt as your average A-list movie star. I have always been on the Pitt train as he continually produces and stars in exceptional films. Many of them recently have gone on toward Best Picture nominations like 12 Years a Slave, Moneyball, The Tree of Life, Inglourious Basterds to name a few. I have a feeling Fury will be another hit for him. He plays Wardaddy, a forceful and dutiful American soldier that leads a team of four other men inRead More →

Movie Review: GRUDGE MATCH

GRUDGE MATCH Director: Peter Segal Starring: Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Hart, Alan Arkin, Kim Basinger, Jon Bernthal So let me get this straight. Instead of watching Rocky or Raging Bull, I decided to watch Grudge Match which is basically Rocky Balboa vs. Jake LaMotta with Grumpy Old Men thrown in there for some very forced laughs. In their glory days, Henry “Razor” Sharp (Stallone) and Billy “The Kid” McDonnen (De Niro) were two of the biggest boxers who battled each other for the prize title. Razor won one of the battles and Kid won the other battle. Before they could fight in theRead More →
