How To Get Away With Murder’s case-of-the-week format will work for some but those welcoming of the more complex journey of yester-series will find the current set-up lacklustre at best.
Supreme Court justices are probably the least known about relative to their immense significance, and RBG helps to humanize one of the nine most powerful people in America.
Arlin Golden had the opportunity to speak with directors Julie Cohen & Betsy West, who created the beautiful biopic of the “Notorious RBG”, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s latest film The Third Murder is a complex, rewarding legal thriller that is a notable departure from his usual humanist approach to character studies.
Molly’s Game is a prime showcase for one of Hollywood’s most versatile actresses, but the film as a whole doesn’t live up to Chastain’s fiery performance.
Diane Kruger carries In the Fade on her leather-clad shoulders and ensures that you’ll walk away from the film feeling absolutely rattled.
The Limehouse Golem finds ways to toy with you at every turn, making it entertaining viewing despite its seemingly conventional premise.
While I Am Jane Doe suffers from some questionable editing and music choices, it is a significant film that deserves global recognition.
Frank Vs. God delivers a solid thought provoking film about a man who loses everything and fights against the term “act of good”.
Based on the real-life case, Johnny Frank Garrett’s Last Word is unfortunately a waste of its material, with many overused horror tropes.
In Loving, Jeff Nichols’ historical drama about an interracial couple who helped change marriage laws in The United States, the characters are reflections of Nichols own lineage and it’s quite the different kind of biography.
The brave Rwandan women and the inspiring conclusion of The Uncondemned make it a heartbreaking, human, and empowering watch, and it reveals an important part of forgotten history.
Bridge of Spies is not what I would call a happy film. Gray snow envelopes the dilapidated East German cityscape and we find Tom Hanks’s character interacting with others primarily in poorly lit, often dank rooms. Nearly all of the characters are entirely self-interested with blinders positioned perfectly to block out the undesired effects their actions can have on others.
What inspired me to begin this series was actually the knowledge that Harper Lee, the author of To Kill A Mockingbird, was going to be releasing a new novel called Go Set a Watchmen. As I had remembered being fond of Lee’s writing, I was planning to read it. (I still have not, but am hoping to get to it after this).
Ted 2 is exactly what you think it is. Seth MacFarlane is an entertainer who infuses all of his work with the same pop-culture heavy and juvenile abundant humour, from his roots in Family Guy to this, his third cinematic effort. The first Ted was a cinematic surprise, over-performing at the box office to become (at the time) the highest grossing R-Rated comedy of all time.
