Movie Review: EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: THE STORY OF FIRE SAGA Director: David DobkinStarring: Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams, Dan Stevens, Pierce Brosnan, Demi Lovato, Graham Norton Will Ferrell’s latest comedy has him begging for the win in Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. Ferrell plays Lars who has dreamed of winning the Eurovision Song Contest since he was a child. He and his best friend Sigrid (Rachel McAdams) are a singing duo named Fire Saga who win a spot in the world-renowned competition after tragedy strikes Iceland’s prized songstress.

Movie Review: GAME NIGHT

GAME NIGHT Directors: John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein Starring: Jason Bateman, Rachel McAdams, Kyle Chandler, Sharon Horgan, Billy Magnussen, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Jesse Plemons, Danny Huston When I think of game night, I think of a rousing game of Settlers of Catan with friends where I inevitably never seem to get the right resources and lose to my husband. Cocktails may be flowing, but that wouldn’t make for a lively movie. Lucky for us, it never reaches the height of what occurs in Game Night. Serious gamers Max (Bateman) and Annie (McAdams) met at trivia night at their local bar and fell in loveRead More →

Movie Review: DOCTOR STRANGE

DOCTOR STRANGE Director: Scott Derrickson Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mads Mikkelsen, Michael Stuhlbarg, Benjamin Bratt, Benedict Wong Benedict Cumberbatch is no stranger at playing characters with super egos as that is how he interprets Sherlock Holmes. He brings a similar quality to Doctor Stephen Strange. He’s a neurosurgeon in the top of his field. He’s massively rich, a music savant, and probably smarter than his own good allows. His colleague Dr. Christine Palmer (McAdams) happens to be a former flame, and there is still a spark between them. On a stormy night he cruises along a curvy road headed toRead More →

Movie Review: ALOHA

ALOHA Writer/Director: Cameron Crowe Starring: Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray, Alec Baldwin, Danny McBride Hawaii provides a picturesque backdrop and cultural lesson in the latest film from writer/director Cameron Crowe (Say Anything, Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous). Bradley Cooper leads an A-list cast as Brian Gilcrest, a military contractor who arrives at an Air Force base in Honolulu. He is tasked with getting the blessing from local citizens to build a gate and launch a weapons satellite. Upon arrival on the base, it’s a reunion for Brian and his ex-girlfriend Tracy (McAdams) who haven’t seen each other in thirteen years. She has sinceRead More →

Movie Review: ABOUT TIME

ABOUT TIME Director: Richard Curtis Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, Lydia Wilson, Lindsay Duncan, Tom Hollander, Richard Griffiths It is safe to say that both Richard Curtis and Rachel McAdams are known for the rom-coms. He has written Love Actually, Notting Hill, and Four Weddings and a Funeral. She has made audiences weep in The Notebook, The Vow, and The Time Traveler’s Wife. Why has it taken this long for the two of them to work together? On his 21st birthday, Tim (Gleeson) learns an old family secret from his dad (Nighy) that the men in the family have the ability to travelRead More →

Movie Review: TO THE WONDER

TO THE WONDERDirector: Terrence MalickStarring: Ben Affleck, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdamsDirector Terrence Malick is known to be a reclusive, artistic, mysterious type of director. Over a span of his forty year career he has made six movies clearly taking time in between each artistic endeavor. It comes as somewhat of a surprise that his latest, To the Wonder, has been released just two years after his Oscar nominated The Tree of Life. This internal look into life, love, and happiness feels very much like a companion piece to The Tree of Life in tone, style, mystery, and artistry. Unlike some of his other films, the story isRead More →
