Movie Review: THE NORTHMAN

THE NORTHMAN Director: Robert EggersStarring: Alexander Skarsgård, Anya-Taylor Joy, Ethan Hawke, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Willem Dafoe, Björk Director Robert Eggers made a name for himself with 2015’s horror film, The Witch. With just three films under his belt including his new film, The Northman, he’s showcased his distinct style for storytelling. Alexander Skarsgard leads the film as Amleth lives as a Viking berserker. They’re a violent tribe inspired by wolves and bears. As a young boy, he was anointed by his father (Hawke) to be on a path of greatness. It was not long after that when Young Amleth watched his father’s murder atRead More →

Movie Review: THE PROM

THE PROM Director: Ryan MurphyStarring: Jo Ellen Pellman, Ariana Debose, Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Andrew Rannells, James Corden, Keegan-Michael Key, Kerry Washington I saw the Broadway musical The Prom in its closing weekend, and the energy from the crowd and its actors was massive. We knew we were watching something special. The movie musical adaption is now streaming on Netflix. For Emma, all she is wants to do is go to the prom with her girlfriend Alyssa. Newcomer Jo Ellen Pellman and Ariana DeBose play the couple in question, but the PTA led by Alyssa’s mother, played by Kerry Washington, decides to shut down theRead More →

Movie Review: BOMBSHELL

BOMBSHELL Director: Jay RoachStarring: Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, John Lithgow, Connie Britton, Mark Duplass, Malcolm McDowell, Allison Janney, Kate McKinnon The women at Fox News had their own to story to tell. Their story was about their boss, Roger Ailes (Lithgow), and the history of sexual misconduct under him and fellow anchors at Fox. As Megyn Kelly (Theron) is battling presidential candidate Donald Trump about his rhetoric toward women, Gretchen Carlson (Kidman) is debating about suing Fox and/or Ailes. She’s warned about going up against someone as powerful as him, but she pulls the trigger. After she’s let go, word spreads as moreRead More →

Movie Trailer: BOMBSHELL

BOMBSHELL Director: Jay RoachStarring: Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, John Lithgow, Kate McKinnon, Alanna Ubach, Allison Janney, Connie Britton, Mark Duplass, Ashley Greene, Richard Kind You may already have strong feelings about Fox News depending on where you fall in the political landscape. What you may or may not know about is the toxic workplace that it became for many of the women who worked under Roger Ailes (Lithgow). There were many big names that came out of there like Megyn Kelly (Theron), Gretchen Carlson (Kidman), Kayla Pospisil (Robbie) and more. Bombshell tells the story of these women along with many others who finallyRead More →

Movie Review: THE GOLDFINCH

THE GOLDFINCH Director: John CrowleyStarring: Oakes Fegley, Ansel Elgort, Finn Wolfhard, Nicole Kidman, Jeffrey Wright, Luke Wilson, Sarah Paulson, Aneurin Barnard If you’ve read Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, you are familiar with the sweeping gut punch she lays out in her story about Theo Decker. Too bad the film adaptation is missing all of that. When Theo was a kid, his mother took him to an art museum that forever changed their lives. A terrorist explosion took the lives of Theo’s mother and many others. He survived but has been plagued with guilt since that fateful event. The only thing keeping him connectedRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE GOLDFINCH

THE GOLDFINCH Director: John CrowleyStarring: Ansel Elgort, Oakes Fegley, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Paulson, Finn Wolfhard, Willa Fitzgerald, Luke Wilson, Jeffrey Wright, Denis O’Hare The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt has been passed around from book club to book club. My mother-in-law absolutely loved it and couldn’t put it down. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2014. The film adaptation is now here with a wonderful cast including: Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars), Oakes Fegley (Wonderstruck), Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story) and Nicole “rip my heart out” Kidman. Per the Warner Bros. website “Theodore “Theo” Decker was 13 years oldRead More →

Movie Review: DESTROYER

DESTROYER Director: Karyn KusamaStarring: Nicole Kidman, Sebastian Stan, Tatiana Maslany, Toby Kebbell, Scoot McNairy, Bradley Whitford If you feel like you’ve seen every side of Nicole Kidman, guess again. In Destroyer, she plays LA Detective Erin Bell, who has seen her better days. Her life is practically in shambles due to the devotion and lengths she’s gone through in her work. The body of a John Doe is found shot to death and the tattoos on his body indicate that a former gang member from her past is back on the scene. Here’s my review.
