Movie Review: ELVIS

ELVIS Director: Baz LuhrmannStarring: Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, Olivia DeJonge, Kelvin Harrison Jr, Helen Thomson, Richard Roxburgh, Kodi Smit-McPhee It takes an extravagant vision to capture the life and magic of Elvis Presley on screen. Director Baz Luhrmann embeds his flashy aura into Elvis Presley’s life to an eye-popping degree with Elvis. If you’ve seen Romeo + Juliet or Moulin Rouge, there’s no mistaking Luhrmann’s distinct vision within minutes of Elvis. The opening sequence practically mirrors that of Romeo+Juliet with a frenzied narration and Tom Hanks’ Colonel Tom Parker on his death bed recounting how he made Elvis famous and that there would be noRead More →

Movie Review: THE POWER OF THE DOG

THE POWER OF THE DOG Director: Jane CampionStarring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Sean Keenan, George Mason Benedict Cumberbatch has turned in memorable performances from Doctor Strange to Sherlock Holmes. You’ll see him in a whole new light as a rough cowboy in Jane Campion’s new film The Power of the Dog. Benedict Cumberbatch makes his character, Phil Burbank, someone who is not be messed with as he carries himself with a forceful bull-like presence. It’s Montana 1925 in a quaint little town. His brother, George, starts spending more time with local kitchen owner, Rose. As George and Rose fall in love,Read More →

Movie Review: DOLEMITE IS MY NAME

DOLEMITE IS MY NAME Director: Craig BrewerStarring: Eddie Murphy, Keegan-Michael Key, Wesley Snipes, Mike Epps, Snoop Dogg, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Tituss Burgess, Kodi Smit-McPhee  Eddie Murphy is back in prime form in the true story, Dolemite Is My Name. He plays Rudy Ray Moore who does it all. He sings, dances, performs stand up comedy, and works at a record story all while searching for his big break into showbiz after being rejected countless times. He hears stories and jokes from homeless people in his community and turns them into a character named Dolemite. His off-color, vulgar language gets some acclaim leading Rudy Ray to make aRead More →

Movie Review: X-MEN: APOCALYPSE

X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Director: Bryan Singer Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Oscar Isaac, Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Evan Peters, Oliva Munn, Rose Byrne, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Alexandra Shipp I thought it would be a slam-dunk no-brainer that the casting of Oscar Isaac in the latest and final film in the new X-Men trilogy would make it the best one yet. I now realize I was reaching a bit due to my love of the actor. In case you’re unfamiliar, he played the heroic Poe Dameron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the title character in Inside Llewyn Davis. Now he’s playing theRead More →

Movie Review: DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Director: Matt Reeves Starring: Andy Serkis, Toby Kebbell, Jason Clarke, Keri Russell, Gary Oldman, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Nick Thurston, Judy Greer 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes ended with the apes attacking the Golden Gate Bridge. The movie as a whole was rather dull and full of bad acting, but it culminated to a rather intriguing ending that left me wanting more. I was optimistic that this series still had some life left to it. Ten years have passed since those events and the Simian flu has wiped out a majority of the human population. There isRead More →
