It takes place in what seems to be the near future however Miami now looks like Venice, Italy with its rising water. It’s rotten to the core with corruption after a war tore the city apart. Hugh Jackman’s character Nick Bannister runs a private company that allows clients to submerge themselves in a tank of water to recall memories and nostalgia. He mentions in the voice over narration that “The pastRead More →

LIFE Director: David Espinosa Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, Ariyon Bakare, Olga Dihovichnaya, Hiroyuki Sanada Space exploration movies feel like they’re all the rage right now. Unfortunately, they can’t all be as great as 2013’s Gravity. With Passengers last year and now Life, I’m wondering if they’ve run their course for the time being or if we can’t figure out a new story to tell. Maybe the ambiguous one word titles have something to do with it. Life boasts a fun crew with Jake Gyllenhaal and Rebecca Ferguson leading the team on an international space station. They’re returning from a mission to MarsRead More →

FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS Director: Stephen Frears Starring: Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, Simon Helberg, Rebecca Ferguson, Nina Arianda, John Kavanagh I would place a bet on Meryl Streep earning her 20th Oscar nomination with her role as Florence Foster Jenkins. Am I reaching too early? It’s doubtful given the nature of the role and the pedigree of those around her. Jenkins was a New York socialite who dreamed of being a well-known opera singer. Her husband, St. Clair Bayfield (Grant), was a British Shakespearean actor and they performed together at the Verdi Club. Despite her failing health, she thought it was the right time to get backRead More →
