Richard Jewell (2019) Review!!!

Synopsis – American security guard Richard Jewell saves thousands of lives from an exploding bomb at the 1996 Olympics, but is vilified by journalists and the press who falsely reported that he was a terrorist. My Take – It sure is inspiring to see how actor/filmmaker Clint Eastwood even at the age of 89 is consistently delivering at least one film per year. While his … Continue reading Richard Jewell (2019) Review!!!

Clint Eastwood works very fast.

A Vigilante (2019) Review!!!

Synopsis – A vigilante helps victims escape their domestic abusers. My Take – I think we can all comfortably say that we are done with revenge fantasies, mainly as they often lean so far into overt escapism that they end up ignoring their story’s inherent human component. Somehow debutante director Sarah Daggar-Nickson feels she can do one better, by not delivering the moments of grim … Continue reading A Vigilante (2019) Review!!!

Third Person (2014) Review!!

Synopsis – Three interlocking love stories involving three couples in three cities: Rome, Paris, and New York. My Take – Paul Haggis, the director of Crash, has made a career out of making films that interweave numerous story lines. Here, Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, Adrien Brody, Moran Atias, Mila Kunis, Maria Bello and James Franco all comprise a wonderful ensemble that demands a range of … Continue reading Third Person (2014) Review!!
