Directed by Roland Emmerich, Midway focuses on the historic Battle of Midway as a critical part of the Pacific Theater during World War II. The movie shows the clash between the American fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy, which marked a pivotal turning point during WWII. The film is streaming on Amazon. 

Wes Tooke wrote the story based on the real-life events of heroic feats. The leaders and soldiers used their wits, instincts, courage, and bravery to overcome the odds and defeat the Japanese.

The movie’s huge cast is stellar.

Some of the top brass in the movie are Lieutenant Commander Wade McClusky, played by
Luke Evans, Edwin Layton, played by Patrick Wilson, Admiral William “Bull” Halsey, played by Dennis Quad, and Admiral Chester Nimitz, played by Woody Harrelson. The rest of the cast includes Aaron Eckhart, Nick Jonas, Etsushi Toyokawa, Tadanobu Asano, Luke Kleintank, Jun Kunimura, Darren Criss, Keean Johnson, Alexander Ludwig, and Mandy Moore.

Emmerich directing credits are rich with grandiose movies like The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day. Tooke writing credits include episodic TV shows like Colony and Jean-Claude Van Johnson.

The next trailer tells more about the story. Historically, the story is impressive. Doolittle and his crew perform an unbelievable mission.

“MA” Trailer, Clips, Interviews & Poster

horror, teenagers, , , , , , ,

Directed by Tate Taylor, who brought us The Help, brings us a completely different genre – a horror movie. Ma follows Sue Ann, played by Octavia Spencer, as she appears friendly and welcomes all the teenagers to her house to party in the basement.

All fun and games don’t appear to be all that fun. Everybody’s welcome at Ma’s. But good luck getting home safe.

Sue Ann is a loner who keeps to herself in her quiet Ohio town. One day, she is asked by Maggie, played by Diana Slivers, a new teenager in town to buy some booze for her and her friends. Sue Ann takes advantage of unsuspecting teens and some younger friends.  

She offers the kids the chance to avoid drinking and driving by hanging out in the basement of her home. But there are some house rules: One of the kids has to stay sober. Don’t curse. Never go upstairs. And call her “Ma.”

But as Ma’s hospitality starts to curdle into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare, and Ma’s place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on earth.

In the movie trailer, we see her hit and run a person that looks like a man or boy. Thinking about The Help where the unsuspecting housewife eats a pie made of shit from Spencer’s character, Taylor is not going to hold any bunches in this movie.

Ma also stars Juliette Lewis, Luke Evans, Missi Pyle, McKaley Miller, Corey Fogelmanis,, Gianni Paolo, and Dante Brown. 

The screenplay is by Scotty Landes, who wrote the episodic Workaholics.

The movie clips show how evil or conniving Ma is with the kids. The interviews are spoilers, and we find out the mother, Lewis, confronts Ma. They confront each other and fight with some sort of explosion at the end.

The interviews with Taylor reveal his long-term relationship with Spencer. They were roommates for seven years. Slivers and Lewis’s interview sheds light on how the movie covers current social topics like bullying, social media, and underage drinking.
