Directed by the master of planetary disaster, Roland Emmerich brings us Moonfall. The perfect escapism we need today. A mysterious force knocks the Earth’s Moon from its orbit around and sends it hurtling on a collision course with us as we know it. 

The main characters in the movie tell us that the world is on the brink of destruction, with mere weeks of impact. 

Patrick Wilson portrays astronaut “Brian Harper” surrounded by a mysterious force in the sci-fi epic MOONFALL.
Halle Berry portrays former astronaut and NASA Deputy Director “Jacinda Fowler” conducting an emergency shuttle launch to save the world in the sci-fi epic MOONFALL.

Along comes NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler, played by Halle Berry. She’s convinced that she has the key to saving us all. Still, only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper, played by Patrick Wilson, and a conspiracy theorist, K.C. Houseman, played by John Bradley, believe her. 

John Bradley portrays Moon conspiracy theorist “K.C. Houseman” peering out the window of the Endeavour Space Shuttle in the sci-fi epic MOONFALL.

The cast impressed me, including Michael Peña, Charlie Plummer, Kelly Yu, Eme Ikwuakor, Carolina Bartczak and Donald Sutherland.

These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to discover that our Moon is not what we think it is.

It’s good to see Donald Sutherland in this clip.

“Lean on Pete” Trailer, Movie Clips, and Poster

based on a book, drama, , , ,

Written for the screen and directed by Andrew Haigh, Lean on Pete is based on the book of the same title by Willy Vlautin. The movie follows a teenage boy, played by Charlie Plummer, who makes friends with an aging quarter horse, named Lean on Pete while working at a racetrack. They hit the road together when the horse is intended for the slaughterhouse.

Together they take an epic journey across the modern frontier – an American odyssey. The boy and horse are profoundly bonded.  The movie studies themes of loneliness and finding a connection in unexpected places.

The movie includes a stellar cast with Steve Buscemi, Chole Sevigny, Travis Fimmel, and Steve Zahn.

I am curious, though, how each act plays out in the movie. It is clear that the journey is the second act.  The second act is the toughest to write and seems to be the bulk of the story.

This clip shows a buddy relationship and an old, worn out relationship.

This clip shows that something is going down and it is not good for the horse.

The movie trailer offers a clear understanding of what the movie is about.

“All the Money in the World” Christopher Plummer Interview with Ridley Scott And Trailers

drama, true stories, , , , , ,

Directed by Ridley Scott, All the Money in the World follows the kidnapping of 16-year-old John Paul Getty III, played by Charlie Plummer, and the desperate attempt by his devoted mother Gail, played by Michelle Williams to convince his billionaire grandfather, played by Kevin Spacey, to pay the ransom.

Getty Sr. refuses, and Gail attempts to sway him as her son’s captors become increasingly volatile and brutal. With her son’s life in the balance, Gail and Getty’s advisor, played by Mark Wahlberg, become unlikely allies in the race against time that ultimately reveals the true and lasting value of love over money.

Watching the movie’s trailer, the acting is superb and the story will drive the movie. I didn’t even recognize Spacey, which is awesome. It looks like he is truly playing a different role than is usual tough guy image.  Michelle Williams as the distraught mother is brilliant. I am sensing Mark Walberg is in a career-defining role.

Oscar nomination for Christopher Plummer with Ridley Scott.

The story is straight from the headlines and based on a true story. All the Money in the World looks like a winner.
