Movie Review: THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK

THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK Director: Alan TaylorStarring: Alessandro Nivola, Michael Gandolfini, Leslie Odom Jr, Ray Liotta, Vera Farmiga, Billy Magnussen, Corey Stoll, John Magara, Michela Dr Rossi, Jon Bernthal Fans of The Sopranos have been begging series creator David Chase for more since the finale aired 14 years ago. He has written a story that should please fans as he opens this world up to a time decades before Tony Soprano would leave a lasting impression. In his film, The Many Saints of Newark, a young Tony Soprano always looked up to his uncle Dickie Moltisanti, played by Alessandro Nivola. The name Moltisanti meansRead More →

THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK Interviews – Entering the World of THE SOPRANOS The Many Saints of Newark is a knockout film taking us back to the world of The Sopranos from creator David Chase.

Highlights include: -Michael Gandolfini talking about playing Tony Soprano versus playing his dad, James Gandolfini -Ray Liotta fighting for roles despite the long career he’s had -Leslie Odom Jr describes not knowing the role he was even auditioning forRead More →

Movie Review: NO SUDDEN MOVE

NO SUDDEN MOVE Director: Steven SoderberghStarring: Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, David Harbour, Brendan Fraser, Kieran Culkin, Ray Liotta, Amy Siemetz, John Hamm, Noah Jupe I will forever be thankful Steven Soderbergh stepped back into filmmaking despite announcing his retirement years ago. Just months after the release of his last film, Let Them All Talk, he’s back with an all-star ensemble for No Sudden Move. It’s Detroit 1954 and Don Cheadle’s Curt Goynes is about to get wrapped up in some sketchy shit despite his recent release from jail. He’s a hitman with a reputation much like his partner in crime Ronald, played by BenicioRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK

THE MANY SAINTS OF NEWARK In my opinion, The Sopranos is one of the greatest television series of all time. It paved the way for the quality programming we’ve come to associate with HBO. James Gandolfini made audiences latch onto a classic anti-hero with Tony Soprano. That archetype of a character would go on to lead shows like Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Dexter and more. Fans should rejoice as creator David Chase has come back to the world of The Sopranos with a new movie, The Many Saints of Newark. This isn’t a follow up/sequel of a movie, but rather a look back at where itRead More →

Movie Rewind: FIELD OF DREAMS (1989)

Originally posted April 8, 2014 FIELD OF DREAMS (1989) Director: Phil Alden Robinson Starring: Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, Gaby Hoffmann, Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones, Timothy Busfield, Burt Lancaster, Frank Whaley In honor of baseball season, I wanted to look back at one of my favorite baseball movies. I asked my Facebook and Twitter followers for their opinions on this topic and A League of Their Own, The Sandlot, and Field of Dreams were, by far, the most common titles given. As much as I love those first two films, I feel like I have watched them quite frequently as they always seem to beRead More →

Movie Review: THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES

THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINESDirector: Derek CianfranceStarring: Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes, Ray Liotta, Dane DeHaan, Rose Byrne, Emory CohenAfter watching 2010’s Blue Valentine, I knew that director Derek Cianfrance was a director that needed extra attention. The raw emotional story told by him and stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams really struck a nerve with me. Cianfrance has re-teamed with Gosling for his third movie which is one hell of an undertaking. Luke (Gosling) is a tough, tattooed, stunt motorcycle rider. He drives around in small steel cages with two motorcyclists touring the small state fair circuit. His ex-girlfriend Romina (Mendes) pays him aRead More →

Movie Trailer: THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES

THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES Director: Derek Cianfrance Starring: Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Rose Byrne, Ray Liotta, Dane DeHaan, Eva Mendes If you saw Blue Valentine in 2010, you know the work of director Derek Cianfrance. He reunites with Ryan Gosling to bring you another intense character study. Gosling plays Luke Glanton, a motorcycle stunt rider that turns to bank robbery in effort to provide for his son and ex-girlfriend Romina (Mendes), who is the mother of his child. Luke’s actions come to the attention of rookie cop Avery (Cooper) and the even more corrupt Detective Deluca (Liotta). The film premiered at the Toronto FilmRead More →
