Been very disappointed this month with movies I thought I was going to love and really looked forward to. First, “Blink Twice”, now “The Front Room”, which was a waste of a lot of great talent on both the directing and acting sides.
On Your Screen
Reviews of the latest movies.
The Nepo baby syndrome is in full effect for the Hollywood critics covering “Blink Twice.” Everyone is just trying to be nice because Zoe Kravitz is Lenny Kravitz’s kid. Her debut film, while shot well, was so awful and bad that I almost walked out and got my money back. Read on for my full review.
I loved this awesome “horroredy” about strange goings on in the basement of an AirBnB. You might never do AirBnB in the same way again.
I am a lifelong Elvis fan and have enjoyed the film stylings of Baz Luhrmann for years, so I really wanted to love this film. But it was both a hit and a miss for me.
From Reservoir Dogs to Pulp Fiction through Jackie Brown to Death Car, I have always been a big Quentin Tarantino fan.Quentin’s love for everything cinematic literally bursts through his films making them more than a mere movie outing. The Hateful 8 delivers the same punchy dialogue and cartoonish violence we have come to expect from a Tarantino film. It’s a definite must-see.
On June 5th at 8:30 (EST) Twentieth Century Fox, is hosting a special event for their upcoming film, THE FAULT IN OUR STARS. “The Night Before Our Stars” will feature an advanced screening and a live stream interview with the stars allowing fans to be the first to see the film. TGATP is so there!
So lovely and spiritual that I was teary eyed, Disney’s new film “Bears” is a heartwarming and fun must-see for the whole family! See it the first week to honor Earth Day and a proceed of the profits will go to the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s National Park system.
While I loved “Ender’s Game”, I I found out after writing this positive review that the author of the film is a hate filled wingnut, who has expressed both racist anti-Obama views and anti-Gay sentiments. It’s an interesting dilemma that has never occurred for me. I loved this film and its story but the messenger is odious! So I guess this is another case, like that of John Mayer, where great positive artistic works are created by a total idiot.
