TV Review: THE CROWN Season 4

THE CROWN Season 4 Creator: Peter MorganStarring: Olivia Colman, Gillian Anderson, Emma Corrin, Helena Bonham Carter, Josh O’Connor, Tobias Menzies The hit Netflix drama about The Royal Family continues to show its strength as it tackles the early 1980s in its fourth season. We see how they and the people of Great Britain were forever changed under the rule of Margaret Thatcher (Anderson), the country’s first female Prime Minister. At the same time, Queen Elizabeth (Colman) and Prince Phillip (Menzies) are focused on the line of succession at the throne. Their eldest, Prince Charles (O’Connor), is unmarried, and despite the strong feelings he has forRead More →

Movie Review: HILLBILLY ELEGY

HILLBILLY ELEGY Director: Ron HowardStarring: Gabriel Basso, Amy Adams, Glenn Close, Haley Bennett, Freida Pinto, Owen Asztalos Amy Adams and Glenn Close are a dream team together. Both are phenomenal actresses, but I wish their new film Hillbilly Elegy lived up to their potential. It is based on the memoir from J.D. Vance played as an adult by Gabriel Basso. J.D. grew up in the Appalachia region but has tried to overcome the hardships his family faced and is now attending Yale Law School. Just as he’s set for an all-important job interview, he learns his mother, Bev, played by Amy Adams has suffered aRead More →

Movie Review: THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7

THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7 Writer/Director: Aaron SorkinStarring: Eddie Redmayne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mark Rylance, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jeremy Strong, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Frank Langella, John Carroll Lynch Aaron Sorkin is best known for high-powered courtroom dramas and politically charged stories like A Few Good Men, The West Wing, and The Newsroom. His latest, The Trial of the Chicago 7, is now streaming on Netflix and couldn’t come at a better time. A legal battle between peaceful protestors and an aggressive Chicago police force is what is at stake. No, it’s not 2020 but rather the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The peaceful protestorsRead More →

Movie Review: THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME

THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME Director: Antonio CamposStarring: Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgård, Eliza Scanlen, Sebastian Stan, Jason Clarke, Riley Keough, Mia Wasikowska, Haley Bennett One of the best aspects of having a new movie streaming on Netflix is the ability to rewatch a head-scratcher and dissect it whenever you want. You may feel a need to do that with The Devil All the Time. It’s a multi-generational ensemble film featuring Tom Holland at its center. He stars as Arvin Russell who grew up an orphan after the tragic deaths of his parents. His dad (Bill Skarsgaard) was a WWII vet whose PTSD and reformedRead More →

Movie Review: I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS

I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS Writer/Director: Charlie KaufmanStarring: Jesse Plemons, Jessie Buckley, Toni Collette, David Thewlis, Guy Boyd  Charlie Kaufman seems to confound moviegoers with each of his movies making us question what’s real, what’s fictional, and what it all means in the end. These Kaufmanisms are on full display in his latest, I’m Thinking of Ending Things. The phrase “I’m thinking of ending things” is mentioned multiple times in voiceover from Jessie’s Buckley’s character. She’s credited as Young Woman but is also referred to as Lucy and Louisa. She’s on a road trip to meet her boyfriend’s parents despite the fact she’s thinking of ending thisRead More →
