Cillian Murphy is J. Robert Oppenheimer in OPPENHEIMER, written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan.
Christopher Nolan’s IMAX-shot Oppenheimer hits theaters July 21, and even though it’s July, maybe Oscar season has come early for this movie. Cillian Murphy has starred in several Nolan movies, and now he is front and center as J. Robert Oppenheimer. The Peaky Blinders star talked about being “blown away” by the entire experience.
Genre hopping is part of Nicky Whelan’s acting resume. She had a traumatic encounter with a shark in 2002’s Maneater and now she is soaked in water and dealing with alligators in The Flood. I also enjoyed the action thriller The Best Man, released earlier this year and really appreciated 2021’s underrated drama Last Night in Rozzie. She has a total salt of the earth personality, as you can see from her latest interview with CinemAddicts co-host Eric Holmes.
The life of Syd Barrett is spotlighted in filmmaker Roddy Bogawa’s latest documentary Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd. Co-directed by late cover designer Storm Thorgerson, the project was a labor of love that took over a decade to hit theaters. Thorgerson passed in 2013, and Bogawa talked to Deepest Dream about the documentary and friendship with Thorgerson.
On the latest episode of CinemAddicts, I reviewed the Netflix feature Bird Box Barcelona. The movie, directed by Alex Pastor and David Pastor, stars Mario Casas and Georgina Campbell. It’s a spoiler free review, since Netflix outlined plot points reviewers could not mention. I totally agree that detailing certain aspects of Bird Box Barcelona would partially ruin the experience. Below is my spoiler free review of Bird Box Barcelona!
Casper Van Dien’s signature role was in director Paul Verhoeven’s iconic Starship Troopers. In the ensuing years Van Dien has carved out a diversifed resume, and recently he was seen in the first rate indie Daughter. He co-stars with Nicky Whelan and Louis Mandylor in The Flood, an escapist fare that interviewer Eric Holmes desribed as “Assault on Precinct 13 with aligators.” Full interview with Casper Van Dien is in our post.
Are you a fan of Michael Mann’sHeat? Have you seen 13 Hours, TV’s The Unit, The Killing of Two Lovers, and The Integrity of Joseph Chambers? As a fan of Max Martini and Clayne Crawford’s work, I was on board with their latest movie The Channel. Director William Kaufman brings touches of Heat amidst an indie budget, and this ambitious feature absolutely nailed it. Crawford and Martini talked to Deepest Dream about their close friendship and how that fed into The Channel.
