Movie Review: THE ADAM PROJECT

THE ADAM PROJECT Director: Shawn LevyStarring: Ryan Reynolds, Walker Scobell, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Catherine Keener, Zoe Saldana Time travel exists. You just don’t know it yet. That’s what we’re told at the beginning of Ryan Reynold’s new film The Adam Project. Newcomer Walker Scobell plays Young Adam who can’t seem to catch a break. He’s beaten up at school, bickers with his mom, and is still mourning the death of his dad. He’s at the prime age of 12 when life seems even more heightened. He and his dog go investigate a strange noise outside and encounter a strange man in his dad’s garage.Read More →

Movie Review: AVENGERS: ENDGAME

AVENGERS: ENDGAME Director: Anthony and Joe RussoStarring: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Brie Larson, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, Josh Brolin, Bradley Cooper, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle, Karen Gillan When we last left our Avengers at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, we saw many of them disappear as dust in the wind. The big bad Thanos (Brolin) got his hands on all six infinity stones, placed them on his gauntlet glove, and snapped his finger. Just like that it changed the course of the Marvel franchise. Avengers: Endgame picks up with the remaining survivors in mourning unable to shakeRead More →

Movie Review: AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Brolin, Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Zoe Saldana, Paul Bettany Marvel fans have spent the last ten years and eighteen movies engrossed in a variety of superheroes and villains duking it in order to save Earth and other galactic empires. Some have proven more successful than others, yet Marvel fatigue never seems to set in even after all these years. They’re coming off one of my favorites and their biggest hit to date, Black Panther,Read More →

Movie Review: THOR: RAGNAROK

THOR: RAGNAROK Director: Taika Waititi Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett, Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Hopkins, Jeff Goldblum, Tessa Thompson, Idris Elba, Karl Urban Chris Hemsworth will forever be known as Thor, the god of thunder. Thor: Ragnarok is his third solo entry in the franchise on top of the two Avengers ensemble movies. He knows how to use his charm and mighty strength to get himself out of any situation. He manages to escape from the fire demon Surfur and learns his father Odin (Hopkins) is no longer on their home planet of Asgard. Brother Loki (Hiddleston) has banished him to New York City,Read More →

Movie Review: SPOTLIGHT

SPOTLIGHT Director: Tom McCarthy Starring: Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel Adams, Brian D’Arcy James, Stanley Tucci, John Slattery, Billy Crudup It seems to be commonly thought that journalism is not what it used to be. Instead of simply covering the story, there’s a bias thrown in or you expect a certain political angle depending on what channel news you are watching. When you actually stick to the facts and let them speak for themselves, it can in turn be effective and powerful. Director Tom McCarthy takes that approach with the dynamic and moving Spotlight. In July 2001, the Boston Globe received a new editor whenRead More →

Movie Review: AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Director: Joss Whedon Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, James Spader, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Bettany Hulk, smash! And boy, does he ever in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The sequel to the biggest superhero movie of all time naturally has to be bigger than the first film. Expectations are sky high for writer/director Joss Whedon to bring back that magic and fun of the first one without suffering from sequel-itis. From the very first frame, we are catching our Avengers in the middle of an attack on a HydraRead More →

Movie Trailer: AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Director: Joss Whedon Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, James Spader, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen Is it May 1st yet? Fans are dying to feast their eyes on the latest Avengers movie. The Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps getting better with their Phase II movies, and I can just assume that Avengers: Age of Ultron will be the cream of the crop. All of our favorite characters are back plus the addition of siblings Scarlet Witch (Olsen) and Quicksilver (Taylor-Johnson). Plus, Emmy winner James Spader joins the cast as the voiceRead More →

Movie Review: FOXCATCHER

FOXCATCHER Director: Bennett Miller Starring: Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, Vanessa Redgrave, Sienna Miller, Anthony Michael Hall When you think about casting a wealthy, bizarre, and mentally disturbed wrestling coach, I don’t think Steve Carell’s name is at the top of the list. Leave it to director Bennett Miller to take on that challenge of putting Carell is a role completely different than anything we have seen from him before. He plays John du Pont, a member of the du Pont family, one of America’s wealthiest families. He was a noted ornithologist, author, and had a passion for wrestling. He took an interest inRead More →

A ROUNDTABLE INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR BENNETT MILLER

A ROUNDTABLE INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR BENNETT MILLER           On November 5, 2014, I had the opportunity to take part in a roundtable interview with Academy Award nominated director, Bennett Miller. His previous films, Capote and Moneyball both received critical acclaim, and I would not be surprised if his latest film, Foxcatcher, follows in their footsteps by garnering multiple Oscar nominations. The film is based on the bizarre true story of millionaire philanthropist John du Pont (Steve Carell) who invites gold medal wrestlers Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) and his brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo) to his lavish estate to train for the 1988Read More →

Movie Review: BEGIN AGAIN

BEGIN AGAIN Director: John Carney Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley, Adam Levine, Hailee Steinfeld, Catherine Keener, James Corden, Mos Def, Cee Lo Green I always enjoy a good movie inspired by music or when the music ends up being a driving factor of the story. It adds another dimension to the emotional arch I go through as a moviegoer. Greta (Knightley) is that kind of bashful singer/songwriter that writes great music and wants to be a performer but can’t muster up that “throw caution to the wind” type attitude needed to perform at an open mic night. Her buddy Steve (Corden) drags her up onstageRead More →
