Ang Lee is a director with a respectable track record behind him, with the likes of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, and “Life of Pi”.  Now he’s back helming “Gemini Man” with a script co-penned by “Game of Thrones” co-showrunner David Benioff and starring Will Smith and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Smith stars as Henry Brogan, a […]

Let’s get this right out of the way at the start – “Joker” is a brilliantly executed film with a central performance that will without a doubt garner Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar nomination. That said, this is as far a cry from the Joker’s we’ve ever seen before as Heath Ledger was from Cesar Romero. […]

Watching the trailer for “Hustlers” gives an impression about a female-centric con-job style film with lots of stripping and quick pacing. Most of the marketing efforts has been around selling that kind of tone and it being the type of female-helmed cast not seen since Oceans 8. Well if there’s a con job, it’s that […]

Stuber is one of those contemporary action movies that you can take almost anyone to see.

“Marvel: Endgame” may have been the last of the main Avengers arc, but “Spider-Man: Far From Home” showcases that Marvel’s presence on the big screen is anything but fading.

“Yesterday“, starring Himesh Patel in his first theatrical role is an interesting entry into the wish-fulfillment family of films. Patel stars as Jack Malik, a bottom rung pub musician who plays Beatles covers to crowds of nearly a half dozen (and most of those his friends). One day he wakes up to find that the […]

Anytime James Gunn produces something, we’re always interested, and Brightburn sort of had us on board from the get-to. That’s not to give him too much credit, as the script was handled by two OTHER Gunns- Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn– and David Yarovesky handled directing duties. https://youtu.be/Z0391pRUFIY Advertised as a “What if Superman were evil” pitch (seriously, […]
