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. He usually knows exactly what he wants, does one or maybe two takes, and then moves on, so that a film that was casting earlier this year has already wrapped filming and the studio behind it, Warner Bros., is set to release it. That’s what happened with Eastwood’s latest film, Richard Jewell, which is a fact-based drama based on what … Continue reading ‘Richard Jewell’: Production Completes on Clint Eastwood’s Next; Set for December Release!!!

When I saw I, Tonya at the Toronto International Film Festival in September of 2017, I was as blown away by Margot Robbie and Allison Janney‘s performances as most critics, but I was also greatly impressed by the performances of Sebastian Stan and another young actor who I wasn’t familiar with by the name of Paul Walter Hauser.

The Ballad of Richard Jewell will mark … Continue reading ‘Ballad of Richard Jewell’: Disney Drops Clint Eastwood’s Film For WB To Pick Up!!

Well, this is surprising, folks!
