HOUSE OF GUCCI Director: Ridley ScottStarring: Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek, Jack Huston Director Ridley Scott shows no sign of slowing down as House of Gucci is his second big film to be released in 2021 following The Last Duel. The name Gucci was synonymous with wealth, style, and power. Their fashion house couldn’t be stopped and was full of large personalities within the Gucci family. It was 1978 in Milan when Patrizia Reggiani (Gaga) met young Maurizio Gucci (Driver) at a masked party. It was love at first sight for her when he discloses he’s a Gucci.Read More →

ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Michelle Williams, Charlie Plummer, Christopher Plummer, Mark Wahlberg, Romain Duris, Timothy Hutton All the Money in the World is a prime example of a movie that works two-fold due to the scandals presented both on screen and off. The on screen story kicks off in 1973 with 16-year old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) strolling the streets of Italy being propositioned by call girls. Out of nowhere, a van pulls up next to him with masked figures jumping out and grabbing the boy before he can scream for help. John Paul is being usedRead More →

BLADE RUNNER 2049 Director: Denis Villeneuve Starring: Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Robin Wright, Jared Leto, Dave Bautista, Mackenzie Davis, Barkhad Abdi, Sylvia Hoeks The release of Blade Runner in 1982 was groundbreaking in the sci-fi genre. Director Ridley Scott and star Harrison Ford presented a dark and bleak story set in 2019 about an artificial intelligence species and the cops that were tasked to destroy them. Thirty years have passed since the events of the first movie, and the future is still grim in California in 2049. The bioengineered humans known as replicants have nearly been destroyed and the few remaining haveRead More →

2015: A YEAR IN REVIEW It’s that time of the year again when critics post their best and worst of the year lists. The beginning of 2015 was a big doozy to the point where I thought it was going to be a bad year at the movies. It was one lousy movie after another (Get Hard, Chappie). The summer hit and the year seemed to be turning around especially after long running franchises were brought back to life to thunderous applause (Jurassic World, Mad Max Fury Road). The year ended with some wonderful smaller films packing a punch (Spotlight, Carol) and big studio filmsRead More →

THE MARTIAN Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastian, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Askel Hennie, Donald Glover, Kristen Wiig Last year, Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon starred in the science fiction epic Interstellar.

Their crew, comprised of Sebastian Stan, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, and Askel Hennie, is caught in the middle of a huge sandstorm. Watley is struck by debris when he attempts to board theRead More →

FALL MOVIE PREVIEW 2015 EDITION This fall season may be one of the best in recent years. It’s chock-full of exceptionally buzzy movies that I’m super excited about. We have films from big directors (Spielberg, Abrams, Mendes, Scott), promising teen/children’s movies (The Good Dinosaur, Goosebumps, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2), and of course plenty of movies looking for Oscar gold. ‘Tis the season! I had a hard time narrowing down my top ten, but here they are: 10. THE DANISH GIRL Director: Tom Hooper Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander, Matthias Schoenaerts, Ben Whishaw Eddie Redmayne reteams with his Les Miserables director Tom Hooper andRead More →

THE MARTIAN Director: Ridley Scott Starring: Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Donald Glover, Sebastian Stan, Mackenzie Davis I love the fact that we are getting big space exploration movies back on the silver screen. We’ve seen films like Gravity and Interstellar open our minds to the depths of space, and now Ridley Scott is returning to his home turf with The Martian. I feel like he really excels in the sci-fi genre after films like Alien and Blade Runner. Frankly, we need something from him to help us forget about Exodus: Gods and Kings.Read More →
