1917
Saving Private Ryan started like a splatter movie, but 1917 is pure elevated horror while opening on a pastoral field towards the end of World War I. The high concept of one continuous tracking shot allows director Sam Mendes to perfectly pace this suspenseful tale of brave soldiers sent on a mission to save 1,600 men from a… Continue reading 1917

Avengers: Infinity War
First off, Captain America’s cell number has a 678 area code. So I guess that’s pretty cool. That’s about the only new thing of interest we learn about any of our beloved superheroes in the long-awaited Avengers: Infinity War.

Doctor Strange
“The Avengers protect the world from physical danger. We save it from more mystical threats.” – Wong, a librarian. Doctor Strange is the perfect Marvel movie, perfectly cast with Benedict Cumberbatch as a physically injured surgeon who goes to Nepal searching to be healed and is taught magic instead.

Black Mass
From director Scott Cooper, who made the bucolic, bullet-fueled Out of the Furnace, Black Mass may indeed seem like just another biopic of a mobster, but it’s as much of an incremental breakdown of the social pecking order that tarred many an inner city during the mid-20th century with its juvenile sense of loyalty and… Continue reading Black Mass

In the… Continue reading 12 Years a Slave

For that reason, and to avoid any spoilers, I’m not going to discuss the storyline or its villains other than to… Continue reading Star Trek Into Darkness
