Movie Review: THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS

THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS Director: Joel and Ethan Coen Starring: Tim Blake Nelson, Liam Neeson, Tom Waits, Zoe Kazan, Tyne Daly, Brendan Gleeson The Coen brothers are known to be risk takers with every project they take on. They have turned their latest film, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, into a collection of six short films posing as chapters of a book about the American frontier. The stories range from a singing cowboy (Nelson) with a quick shot to an old and lonely gold digger (Waits) concluding with one about a stagecoach of strangers carrying two bounty hunters. Here’s my reviewRead More →

Movie Review: WIDOWS

WIDOWS Director: Steve McQueen Starring: Viola Davis, Liam Neeson, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, Carrie Coon, Robert Duvall, Colin Farrell, Brian Tyree Henry, Daniel Kaluuya Viola Davis is back on the big screen and she is not to be messed with. She plays a mourning wife whose husband (Liam Neeson) is killed when a heist goes horribly wrong killing him and his crew. To make matters a bit more complicated, she is now threatened for the two million dollars that was promised as part of that heist. After going through her late husband’s belongings, she finds the blueprints of their next heist. She decidesRead More →

Movie Review: SILENCE

SILENCE Director: Martin Scorsese Starring: Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield, Liam Neeson, Ciarán Hinds, Tadanobu Asano, Issei Ogata, Yôsuke Kubozuka If you look back at the fifty year career of filmmaker Martin Scorsese, you will see a wide range of stories each filled with a passion and vigor for it’s subjects. He may be best known for his gritty crime dramas, but the ardent fans know he’s had a long history of studying Catholicism and faith. His latest film, Silence, will frequently be described as his passion project as he’s been working on it for nearly thirty years. He was first inspired after reading the 1966Read More →

Movie Review: RUN ALL NIGHT

RUN ALL NIGHT Director: Jaume Collet-Serra Starring: Liam Neeson, Ed Harris, Joel Kinnaman, Boyd Holbrook, Vincent D’Onofrio, Bruce McGill So let me get this straight. Liam Neeson is starring in an action flick with a completely unoriginal title. The star of Taken, Unknown, Non-Stop, A Walk Among the Tombstones and a plethora of sequels is back for Run All Night, another film that seems to fit in quite well with every other film he’s done recently. It’s like he’s created his own mini-genre. He plays Jimmy “The Gravedigger” Conlon, a hitman with a long list of victims. Detective Harding (D’Onofrio) has been following Jimmy’s supposedRead More →

Movie Review: A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST

A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST Writer/Director: Seth MacFarlane Starring: Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris, Liam Neeson Seth MacFarlane is a multi-talented performer who can write, act, sing, direct, and do voice over work. We have seen him do all of that with hilarious results in his television show Family Guy. His first full length film Ted had some pretty funny moments as well. He is pulling quadruple duty in A Million Ways to Die in the West as he produces, directs, writes, and stars in an attempted spoof of the Western genre. MacFarlane castRead More →

Movie Review: NON-STOP

NON-STOP Director: Jaume Collet-Serra Starring: Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, Michelle Dockery, Scoot McNairy, Corey Stoll, Lupita Nyong’o Just look at that movie poster. It’s got Liam Neeson flying through the air, gun in hand, and the oxygen masks have been deployed. You know all hell has broken loose on that flight. Let’s go back a bit. Federal Air Marshal Bill Marks (Neeson) is boarding a non-stop flight to London and comes in contact with numerous passengers on his way to board. He keeps a close eye on them giving them a full body mental scan as he encounters them in the bathroom or at theRead More →

Movie Review: THE LEGO MOVIE

THE LEGO MOVIE Director: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller Starring: Chris Pratt, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman, Will Ferrell, Alison Brie, Will Forte, Jonah Hill, Dave Franco Yes, it is true. The Lego Movie is AWESOME. Eyes may have rolled when it was first announced that there would be a movie based on Legos. The trailers looked pretty funny, so I had hope that it would actually exceed the low expectations that were originally set in place. Boy, did it ever. Emmet (Pratt) wakes up every day as excited as he can be. Everything is awesome in life. He is just your ordinaryRead More →

Movie Review: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Director: Christopher Nolan Starring: Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Matthew Modine All good things must come to end. Finding the proper send off to a beloved trilogy is tricky. The audience has spent the last two movies invested in classic characters and rich storytelling and you do not want to be let down by some lackluster finale. Audiences will not remember The Return of the Jedi or The Godfather Part III as the best in the series. However, I firmly believe The Lord of the Rings: The ReturnRead More →
