“Ford v Ferrari” Posters, Clips, Featurettes, and Trailers
Directed by James Mangold, Ford v Ferrari comes from a true story of the remarkable Shelby car from car designer Carroll Shelby, played by Matt Damon, and the fearless British-born driver Ken Miles, played by Christian Bale.
The movie is now available on Amazon, so that you can watch it in your living room.
The two men take on corporate interference, the laws of physics, and their demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford Motor Company and take on the dominating race cars of Enzo Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966.
Any racecar aficionado who followed racecar driving knows this story. It is an intense and fun story to see on the movie screen. The rest of the cast includes Jon Bernthal, Caitriona Balfe, Tracy Letts, Josh Lucas, Noah Jupe, Remo Girone, and Ray McKinnon. I am sure you recognize Balfe, the star of Starz’s popular series Outlander.
Letts, who plays Ford II, stars in quite a few movies as a supporting role, but in The Lovers, he stars with Debra Winger as a lost, married couple, which plays like a dry comedy.
The second trailer is different from the first but tells the same story. The characters are angry and are ready to fight each other.
The movie clip seems ridiculous and nonsensical. I am looking forward to seeing better scenes that make more sense.
The featurette shows an interview with Bale and Damon with cuts to the movie’s intensity.
The following movie clip is beautiful.
The following clip tells it all. Why did Ford back the Shelby car for the Le Mans?
The following featurette talks about the friendship between Miles and Shelby.
“Vice” Trailer, Movie Clips, Featurettes
It is absolutely uncanny how Christain Bale looks so much like Dick Cheney in Vice. Bale takes a role and literally becomes the character. This will garnish him another Oscar nomination.
Amy Adams stars as Cheney’s wife with Sam Rockwell as President Bush and Steve Carell as Donald Rumsfeld.
Directed by Adam McKay who is known for writing and directing comedies with Will Ferrell, who also is one of the producers of Vice, takes on this more serious parody movie about a businessman who grew more powerful as the Vice President to George W. Bush.
There are two movie clips. One shows Cheney as a young drunk and the other as a cunning politician. Each clip captured my attention and the acting is incredible. I only posted the cunning Cheney because the young drunk clip is not embedding to the site, right now, but you can click on the young drunk movie clip at the end of movie clip.
Here are two powerful featurettes describing Lynne Cheney and the influence of Dick Cheney’s realm. With that, it is unbelievable how much Christian Bale looks like the real Cheney.
I saw Vice this week and my first impression is joking and degrading of an ignorant, evil man, who is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of people. Not to mention, he changed laws that now influence news and social media. Cheney was sneaky and worked his way into power to destroy so many lives. Sure, the movie twists with liberal influence, but those liberals in office at the time are just as responsible for the evil doing.
Christian Bale is fantastic as Cheney. Hats off to the makeup and costume designers. Amy Adams is good, but I will be surprised if she wins the Oscar. I enjoyed the cameos by Naomi Watts and Alfred Molina. Adam McKay wrote a clever screenplay, and he might when an Oscar.
The movie is hitting the streets with Blu-ray and DVD combo packs as well as streaming. The movie is filled with shocking information about our government. It’s wild and crazy to think this actually happened. Cheney is truly evil.
The special features available are worth getting the Blu-ray or DVD including Deleted Scenes, Making of the Movie, and Gallery.
“Hostiles” Trailers, and Movie Clips
Directed by Scott Cooper, Hostiles follows a stellar cast down a turbulent, powerful and decisively impressive western. The Blu-ray/DVD is now available with behind-the-scenes interviews and featurettes.
The movie is set in 1892 and focuses on a legendary Army captain, played by Christian Bale, who is ordered to escort a dying Cheyenne war chief, played by Wes Studi, back to his tribe and family. The captain unwillingly agrees to his assignment.
The journey is distressing and death-defying as they trailer from Fort Berringer to the grasslands of Montana. They chance upon a young widow, played by Rosamund Pike. Her family was brutally murdered on the plains.
She joins the journey and they all work together to overcome the challenging landscape, hostile Comanche, and ruthless frontiersmen they run into along the way.
Watching the trailers and clips, the movie is pure grit and action.
