1917 is effectively a feature length stunt. As the camera follows two young British World War I soldiers from their camp to the trenches to trudging across a field to a house in a field (etc. etc.) you realize that it seems to be one continuous, unbroken shot. The...
Hollywood continues to be stuck in a rut of throwing money at the tried and true. More sequels! More reboots! We are getting painstaking “live action” remakes that are technically dazzling, but lacking the magic that made the originals beloved (I’m talking to you, Disney, with your Lion King,...
Despite being a contemporary of the classic Twilight Zone television series, the journalism/true crime show Deadline (which aired 1959-1961) literally disappeared for over 50 years, forgotten in a New Jersey garage. Now all 39 episodes of the show have been unearthed and are available to see for the first...
It’s 1862 London, and the historically very-real scientist and self-proclaimed meteorologist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) desperately wants to rise higher than any other aeronautical explorer in a balloon to test his own atmospheric theories. The problem, he himself is not an aeronaut, nor does he have a balloon. The...
In the opening moments of Waves, the camera spins euphorically as it follows a day in the life of 18-year-old Tyler (Kelvin Harrison Jr.). He goes to school, he works out, he hangs with his friends, and—most memorably in the opening shot—drives down the sunny Florida highway with his...
SYNOPSIS: “Blinded by the Light” tells the story of Javed (Viveik Kalra) a British teen of Pakistani descent, growing up in the town of Luton, England, in 1987. Amidst the racial and economic turmoil of the times, he writes poetry as a means to escape the intolerance of his...
The Report is literally about a 7,000 page report, which you see in physical context at one point: Two seemingly foot-high stacks of paper sit to both sides of investigator Dan Jones (Adam Driver) as he presents his shocking findings on the CIA’s illegal post-9/11 torture methods to the...
A daredevil buddy movie in the vein of The Right Stuff, Ford v Ferrari mixes a ton of adrenaline with a whole lot of Don’t Try This at Home. It’s a bromance that pits American grease and grit against Italian style and bravado. Sure, no one can make a...
I have to admit, I thought the original Lion King was kind of terrifying. The way Scar orchestrates King Mufasa’s death is terrible and upsetting to watch, and there just seemed to be a whole lot of meanness for a so-called family movie. And let me clarify that I...
People who open their hearts to pets know that they are better people than us. Enzo the dog (gravelly-voiced Kevin Costner) pretty much knows this, too, if only he had opposable thumbs and a tongue that could work language. Now, I would never pretend that I don’t anthropomorphize my...
In the trailer for Harriet, there is a tease of a visually arresting climactic scene showing abolitionist Harriet Tubman (Cynthia Erivo) cocking a rifle and firmly ordering, “Ready?” to the Union soldiers she is commandeering. On signal, hundreds of slaves flee from the woods toward them on the river,...
For a movie with so much talent in front of and behind the camera, it is hard to not get frustrated when you see potential for an exciting sci-fi action movie just go straight down the toilet. You have director Ang Lee, who attempts to inject some gravitas and...
