Movie Review: BELFAST

BELFAST Director: Kenneth BranaghStarring: Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Jude Hill, Ciarán Hinds, Judi Dench Kenneth Branagh’s work as a director ranges from Shakespeare to Marvel to Cinderella. Now he’s making his most personal film to date with Belfast. Branagh heads back to the place he was born with Belfast to showcase a tumultuous time in 1969. Up and coming young actor Jude Hill plays nine-year-old Buddy who loves to frolic in the streets, watch westerns on TV, and is enraptured every time he goes to the movie theater. That happy time is interrupted when chaos erupts in the streets in a battle between the CatholicsRead More →

Kenneth Branagh Interview with Ciarán Hinds, Jude Hill – BELFAST

Kenneth Branagh Interview with Ciarán Hinds, Jude Hill – BELFAST Kenneth Branagh’s new film Belfast is a deeply personal love letter to his childhood in Belfast. I talked with him and stars Ciarán Hinds and Jude Hill about making the film, growing up in Ireland, and the movies they saw going up that left a lasting impression. Belfast opens in theaters November 12 and is a huge Oscar contender. **I would love it if you clicked the thumbs up/like button on the video.

Movie Review: TENET

TENET Director: Christopher NolanStarring: John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Kenneth Branagh, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine The first big film to test movie audiences as to whether they will head back into movie theaters is Tenet, the latest from writer/director Christopher Nolan. John David Washington is at the center of this story and is referred to as “The Protagonist” He’s pulled out of a medically induced coma after a failed mission only to continue on his mission. It’s one that’s hard for him to conceive and understand as it involves the inversion of time. Simply put, he’s trying to prevent World War III which would beRead More →

Movie Trailer: TENET

TENET Director: Christopher NolanStarring: John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson While many of us are patiently waiting for movie theaters to open with safe precautions in hand, I can’t state yet when I’ll feel comfortable returning to a theater. That being said, one of the biggest movies to look forward to is Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. It’s been rumored that he has been using this stay-at-home time to put the finishing touches on his latest masterpiece in order to have it ready in theaters as soon as possible. I have already seen early teaser trailers, and I’m blown away.Read More →

Movie Review: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS Director: Kenneth Branagh Starring: Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Leslie Odom Jr, Daisy Ridley, Willem Dafoe, Derek Jacobi, Lucy Boynton, Sergei Polunin When you have an all-star cast consisting of Kenneth Branagh, Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Depp, Judi Dench, and Penelope Cruz, to name a few, it’s imperative to use them well. It’s a shame that the ensemble remake of Murder on the Orient Express fails to do so. Kenneth Branagh stars as detective Hercule Poirot who is in between cases after solving a mystery in Jerusalem. If you’re unfamiliar with the classic AgathaRead More →

Movie Review: DUNKIRK

DUNKIRK Writer/Director: Christopher Nolan Starring: Fionn Whitehead, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, Harry Styles, Jack Lowden Dunkirk is yet another example of how Christopher Nolan can masterfully tackle any genre. Over the past decade, we’ve seen him go through space and time continuums with Interstellar, a superhero saga with The Dark Knight Trilogy, and dive deep into our dreams and subconscious with Inception. All of his films tell vastly different stories, yet are unmistakably his movies. With Dunkirk, he turns to the harrowing World War II battle in France between the Allies and the Germans. The British and French armies have beenRead More →
