TV Review: HAWKEYE

HAWKEYE Creator: Jonathan IglaStarring: Jeremy Renner, Hailee Steinfeld, Vera Farmiga, Linda Cardellini, Tony Dalton, Florence Pugh Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye was one of the original Avengers, but he was always treated as a supporting character in many of the Marvel movies. Now he’s getting his own stand-alone story in the new series Hawkeye, which will be streaming on Disney+. It seems like Clint Barton/Hawkeye wants to hang up the bow and arrow and live a quiet life with his family following the tragic events of the Blip. He wants this to be the “Best Christmas Ever” with his kids as they plan out their Christmas traditions.Read More →

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 →

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 Review: ANNABELLE COMES HOME

ANNABELLE COMES HOME Writer/Director: Gary DaubermanStarring: Mckenna Grace, Madison Iseman, Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Katie Sarife, Michael Cimino At this point, I don’t think anyone stepping into the theater to see Annabelle Comes Home is coming in fresh without a clue as to what they’re getting into. It’s the third in the Annabelle franchise and seventh in “The Conjuring Universe” For those needing a quick recap, Ed (Wilson) and Lorraine (Warren) are a pair of real life paranormal investigators. They happen to collect artifacts from their hauntings. The Annabelle doll is thought to be the most evil and malevolent doll in their possession. Like theRead More →

Movie Review: THE CONJURING 2

THE CONJURING 2 Director: James Wan Starring: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Frances O’Connor, Madison Wolfe, Franka Potente, Lauren Esposito I love a good scary movie and director James Wan is no stranger at delivering a thrilling scare to his audiences. He directed the first film as well as Saw and Insidious to name a few. He is back along with stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga for another look into the case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren. After the Warrens’ work on the Amityville horror house, they had vowed to take a break. Lorraine is a clairvoyant and their work was thrust into theRead More →

Movie Review: THE JUDGE

THE JUDGE Director: David Dobkin Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Billy Bob Thornton, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jeremy Strong, Dax Shepard, Leighton Meester, David Krumholtz, Ken Howard Tony Stark vs. Tom Hagen. Robert Downey Jr. vs Robert Duvall. They lead an all-star cast in the family legal drama, The Judge. Hank Palmer is that hotshot big city lawyer that never loses a case. As you’ve seen in the trailer, he’s so cocky he pees on his assistant (Krumholtz). Just before they are about to hear a verdict, he gets the dreaded phone call informing him that his mother has passed away. He drives backRead More →

Movie Review: THE CONJURING

THE CONJURINGDirector: James WanStarring: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor, Joey King If you are familiar with the Amityville Horror case in Long Island, the names Ed and Lorraine Warren may ring a bell. Ed (Wilson) was a noted author and demonologist and his wife, Lorraine (Farmiga) is a clairvoyant and medium. The Amityville case was just one of thousands of cases they investigated involving spirits, possessions, and hauntings. The Conjuring focuses on the Warren’s work and one particular case that occurred in Harrisville, Rhode Island.   At this point in the career, the Warrens are still very active in their cases but they areRead More →
