Will Smith Finds “Honest Moments” With Ang Lee And “Bad Acting” On ‘Gemini Man’
The high frame rates (120fps) and Will Smith playing two versions of himself are the selling points for Gemini Man, but since the film is directed by Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, The Life of Pi), one can expect a deeper look beyond the seductive sheen.
Joaquin Phoenix’s Powerhouse Performance Fuels Cinematic Madness Of ‘Joker’
Joker is a character study of madness. Traditionally, these sorts of movies will show a person descending slowly from relative normalcy towards insanity. Joker, however, is focussed on one Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a man who is already a 9 or 10 on the crazy meter as the film opens.
Alex Neustaedter Talks ‘Low Tide’ Journey And Love For ‘Good Will Hunting’
Low Tide centers on several teenage boys (Keean Johnson, Alex Neustaedter, Daniel Zolghadri) who rob houses from out-of-towners on the Jersey Shore. When Alan’s (Johnson) younger brother Peter (Jaeden Martell) stumbles on a stash of gold coins during one of their excursions, all bets are off when greed and betrayal enter the picture. Alex Neustaedter had my attention several years back after his memorable performance in the Meg Ryan directed feature Ithaca, and in the interview he talked about that experience as well as his time on Low Tide.
Blu-ray Review: Nicolas Cage Chases Rainbows In New Thriller ‘A Score To Settle’
Before I launch into a review of Nicolas Cage’s latest film A Score To Settle, please remember that I am a pretty big Cage fan. Nothing he can do is absolutely wrong in my eyes, and even though it has its flaws, A Score To Settle is recommended (with a few caveats).
Goldie Hawn Voices New Sleep Story For Mindful ‘Moshi Twilight’ App
As a nanny to my loving niece, I have a huge (and obvious) emotional investment in her well being.

Adam Sandler Wheels And Deals With Kevin Garnett In ‘Uncut Gems’ Trailer
Does anyone have a more night and day career than Adam Sandler? This year he came out with Murder Mystery, a Netflix comedy that I’m assuming is in line with most of other Sandler’s features (btw I’m a Sandler fan). Today we see the trailer debut of Uncut Gems, the latest film that delivers the critically acclaimed version of “The Waterboy.” Check it out below!
‘Bluff City Law’ Review: Jimmy Smits Has A New And Worthy Fight On His Hands
I’m so old that I remember when Jimmy Smits was also carving out a movie career (anyone remember Old Gringo?) during is L.A. Law days. He’s seen his share of films, but television (The West Wing, NYPD Blue, Sons of Anarchy) has been his bread and butter. The Memphis based Bluff City Law has a ton of promise, and if you’re into character driven procedurals, give the pilot a sample taste!
