Movie Review: SPIRIT UNTAMED

SPIRIT UNTAMED Director: Elaine Bogan, Ennio TorresanStarring: Isabela Merced, Jake Gyllenhaal, Julianne Moore, Mckenna Grace, Marsai Martin, Andre Braugher, Walton Goggins You may remember the 2002 animated film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.

TV Review: LISEY’S STORY

LISEY’S STORY Director: Pablo LarraínStarring: Julianne Moore, Clive Owen, Joan Allen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Dane DeHaan, Ron Cephas Jones As a massive Stephen King fan, I know how possessive we can be over the adaptations of his work. Luckily, King wrote all eight episodes of the new limited series Lisey’s Story. He views his book “Lisey’s Story” as one of the most personal ones he’s ever written given the fact he wrote it after a near-death experience. He thought he had died and watched his wife pack up his belongings. That ignited the spark for this story with Clive Owen playing Scott Landon, a celebratedRead More →

“LISEY’S STORY” – Cast Interviews

“LISEY’S STORY” – Cast Interviews The latest Stephen King page to screen adaptation is Lisey’s Story coming to AppleTV+ June 4. It stars Julianne Moore who I have long admired, so it was a complete thrill getting the chance to talk to the Oscar winner. I sat down with Moore, Ron Cephas Jones, Joan Allen, Dane DeHaan, and executive producer J.J. Abrams to talk about the joy of having Stephen King adapting the screenplays, having the author on set, and sitting in the mindset of a disturbed stalker. **click SUBSCRIBE for more reviews and interviews** Here’s my interviewRead More →

Movie Trailer: DEAR EVAN HANSEN

DEAR EVAN HANSEN 2021 is the year of stage to screen adaptations of beloved musicals. Trailers for In the Heights and West Side Story have dropped, and now, here comes Dear Evan Hansen with original Broadway star and Tony winner Ben Platt. Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) directs with a screenplay by Steven Levenson (Fosse/Verdon) Levenson also penned the musical’s book. The musical became a worldwide phenomenon as it tackles teen mental health issues and suicide with an honest and approachable method. The music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul is more than a bunch of catchy ear worms, as the songsRead More →

Movie Review: THE GLORIAS

THE GLORIAS Director: Julie TaymorStarring: Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Bette Midler, Lorraine Toussaint, Janelle Monáe, Timothy Hutton, Enid Graham We first saw the work of Gloria Steinem featured in the Hulu series Mrs. America and now we’re getting more of it in The Glorias.

Movie Review: GLORIA BELL

GLORIA BELL Directors: Sebastián LelioFeaturing: Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Michael Cera, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Brad Garrett, Holland Taylor, Alanna Ubach Julianne Moore is one of the greatest actresses working today.

Movie Review: WONDERSTRUCK

WONDERSTRUCK Director: Todd Haynes Starring: Oakes Fegley, Millicent Simmonds, Julianne Moore, Jaden Michael, Tom Noonan, Michelle Williams, Cory Michael Smith, Damian Young Director Todd Haynes’ previous films have tackled some heavy adult subjects involving identity and sexuality in the 1950s (Carol, Far From Heaven), rock icons (I’m Not There, Velvet Goldmine, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story), and a remake of a Joan Crawford classic (Mildred Pierce). With Wonderstruck, he has made his first film catered to all audiences. That’s not to say it’s a straight up kids movie, but one that parents and their children will no doubt be moved and inspired by, much likeRead More →

Movie Review: KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE

KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE Director: Matthew Vaughn Starring: Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Julianne Moore, Channing Tatum, Halle Berry, Jeff Bridges, Elton John, Pedro Pascal, Edward Holcroft Kingsman: The Secret Service felt like fresh take on the spy genre. It’s release in 2014 was a surprisingly big success, so naturally a sequel was greenlit. The death of his former mentor Harry (Firth) has been a huge blow for Eggsy (Egerton). He’s trying to work his way up as a member of the Kingsman secret spy organization only to be faced with another huge setback for the organization. This time it’s at the hands ofRead More →
