Synopsis – Roman J. Israel, Esq., a driven, idealistic defense attorney, finds himself in a tumultuous series of events that lead to a crisis and the necessity for extreme action. My Take – As a cinephile, it’s amazing to realize how Denzel Washington, with a remarkable career spanning three decades, still remains one of our most iconic working actors today. With eight Oscar nominations (which includes … Continue reading Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017) Review!!!!
Synopsis – Steven, a charismatic surgeon, is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice after his life starts to fall apart, when the behavior of a teenage boy he has taken under his wing turns sinister. My Take – If an award for the most bizarre and interesting film would have been given out in 2015, Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos‘s film The Lobster would without a … Continue reading The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) Review!!!
Roman J. Israel, Esq. made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last month, and it’s okay. Despite another outstanding performance from Denzel Washington, the plot meanders and lacks immediacy. Apparently, Washington and writer-director Dan Gilroy were able to read the room and see that the film wasn’t landing quite the way they had hoped, so they’ve recut the movie a bit. According … Continue reading ‘Roman J. Israel, Esq’ Gets Recut Following TIFF Premiere!!!

Synopsis – The unexpected arrival of a wounded Union soldier at a girls’ school in Virginia during the American Civil War leads to jealousy and betrayal. My Take – Personally I believe, Sofia Coppola is one of, if not, the best female filmmaker working today.

Colin Farrell is heading back to television, albeit in a very different form.

Moreover, Farrell … Continue reading Colin Farrell to Lead Iran-Contra Amazon Limited Series for ‘The Lobster’ Director!!!

Awards season took another leap forward today as the 2017 Golden Globe nominations were announced. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association spread the love around, but the season’s three biggest contenders—La La Land, Moonlight, and Manchester by the Sea—all had big showings in the major categories, so not any surprises on that front. If anything got a boost from the Globes—and really they don’t have too … Continue reading Golden Globe Nominations: ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ Makes Strong Showing as ‘Silence’ Is Shut Out!! Check Out The Full List!!
Synopsis – The adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York’s secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school. My Take – Weren’t we all sad when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) drew its curtain and ended a franchise running for 10 years. Like me, I am quite sure many Potter fans felt that … Continue reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Review!!!
As a franchise, Harry Potter is somewhat unique. The series opened with two simply unbearable and weightless adventures courtesy of Christopher Columbus, who went for adorable and ended up with two atonal messes that even a big fan of the franchise (such as myself) cannot return to, to this very day. Then, out of nowhere, Alfonso Cuaron came in with Prisoner of Azkaban and created … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’: David Yates Feels “Committed” to Directing All 5 Films!!
In addition to being the author behind the worldwide Harry Potter phenomenon and the writer of the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, J.K. Rowling has been a celebrity advocate for human rights — that includes LGBTQ rights. While she previously told fans that there are, of course, gay characters in her magical world, we may see Albus Dumbledore himself as an openly gay wizard on the … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ Sequels Could Feature an Openly Gay Dumbledore!!
When news broke that Johnny Depp was set to “co-star” in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2, the sequel to this month’s wizarding world expansion Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, speculation immediately zeroed in on who Depp might play. Given that Gellert Grindelwald, former friend/crush of Albus Dumbledore, supposedly has a major role to play in this new Fantastic Beasts franchise, folks began wondering if Depp might be bringing … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts 2’: Johnny Depp Confirmed as Grindelwald; Setting Revealed!!
When Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was first announced, we expected to hear or see some references to the original Harry Potter films. The trailers even dropped the name Albus Dumbledore a number of times, as well as the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, who was referenced in The Deathly Hallows. With four more sequels on the way, we know that Grindelwald will be making a physical appearance, and … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequels Are Casting Albus Dumbledore!!!
While we still have a few weeks to go before the release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Warner Bros. is wasting no time in getting the sequel ready. Indeed, we learned last month that author/screenwriter J.K. Rowling is planning a five-film franchise in all, with director David Yates—who helmed the final four Harry Potter movies in addition to Fantastic Beasts—also returning to helm Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2. And … Continue reading Johnny Depp to Co-Star in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2’!!
Harry Potter fans got a long-distance return (well, except those lucky Londonites privy to West End tickets) to J.K. Rowling‘s world of witchcraft and wizardry with the Jack Thorne-scripted stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, but when Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them arrives in theaters next month, fans the world over will get to return to the wizarding world, just in a bit of a different … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Tracking for $75 Million Box Office Debut!!
In the latest TV spots for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the night is dark and full of terrors (i.e. magical creatures).

While brief, the new videos (via ComicBook.com’s YouTube channel) offer … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’ TV Spots Are Full of Things That Go Bump in the Night!! Check Them Out!!
Warner Bros. has apparently gone all in on J.K. Rowling‘s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise. It was announced during the upcoming film’s live event earlier today that the magical adventure debuting this November will be but the first in a total of five feature films.

It’s a new age of magic for fans of J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world, and soon we’ll get to meet the new quartet of characters at the center of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a Harry Potter prequel story about the magizoologist Newt Scamander and his arrival in New York City in the 1920s. While there’s still a great deal of mystery surrounding the plot of this tale, … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Character Posters Introduce the Faces of a New Franchise!! Check It Out!!
If you want to get yourself psyched up for the upcoming Harry Potter spinoff, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, then you may want to take the week of October 13th off and head to your local IMAX theater.

It’s no secret that when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 closed out the Harry Potter film franchise, Warner Bros. was still considering different ways of keeping the brand alive. After all, the Harry Potter franchise as a whole grossed over $8 billion, and the ancillary revenue stream alone is worth keeping alive. We now know that Warner Bros.’ golden ticket was Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Was Originally Considered as a Documentary-Style Film!!
Warner Bros. has big plans for Justice League Dark, and now they’ve set a mighty talented filmmaker to take the helm of the DC title.

A couple weeks ago, it was reported that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2 was already planning to take the story in a new direction.

Check It Out!!
I am incredibly excited for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, as I imagine most other Harry Potter fans are as well. Warner Bros. was always going to continue the Potter franchise in some way after Deathly Hallows, so it’s great to know that the series remains in the hands of its creator—J.K. Rowling—and isn’t some simple cash-grab on which Rowling carries some meaningless “Executive Producer” title. Instead, when Warner … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequel Takes the Story in a “New Direction”; Script Already Written!!
Coming off a tremendous performance in Yorgos Lanthimos‘ pitch-black comedy The Lobster, Colin Farrell is gearing up for what sounds like another prestige project with Sofia Coppola‘s remake of the Clint Eastwood Civil War drama Beguiled.

After the negative reviews received for BvS:The Dawn of Justice earlier this year, there were rumors that Warner Bros was considering delaying the filming of the upcoming Justice League films.

DC’s Suicide Squad is just a bunch of “Heathens,” as witnessed by Twenty One Pilots. Featured on the film’s upcoming soundtrack, the band tours Belle Reve prison and pokes their heads in on the inmates in the music video for their new song. Also featured is new footage from the film. While they only consist of brief snippets — mostly recycled material — we do see more of … Continue reading ‘Suicide Squad’: Twenty One Pilots Music Video Tours Belle Reve Prison!! Check It Out!!
When it comes to Suicide Squad, I really like the color scheme they’ve used on these posters. It’s also interesting to see how they’re utilizing the Joker as a standalone presence on the advertising even though moviegoers who aren’t familiar with the property might be a little baffled by the smiling visage, and since this is such a radical take on the character they might not … Continue reading New Posters for ‘Suicide Squad’ and ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ Arrive!!

Magic Mike may have dancing hunks with abs of steel, but The Greatest Showman on Earth will have singing-and-dancing hunks with abs of steel.

Jackman has been attached since 2009, oddly enough, the same year that Efron joined him on the Oscars stage for … Continue reading Zac Efron to Get Musical with Hugh Jackman in P.T. Barnum Biopic!!

Synopsis – A psychic works with the FBI in order to hunt down a serial killer. My Take – There was time when a film starring Anthony Hopkings (Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal) would be on the must watch list. But alas like many other great actors its time to see this Oscar Winning actor stumble down to doing generic run of the mill kind … Continue reading Solace (2016) Review!!!
