Written and directed by Garth Jennings, Buster, Meena, Rosita, Gunter, Johnny and Ash prepare for a bigger stage and a brighter spotlight as they leave the Moon Theater for the big city in SING 2.
This animation feature is on the dovetails of the creators of Despicable Me, Minions and The Secret Life of Pets.
The next chapter welcomes Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon back, alongside Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Nick Kroll and Tori Kelly.
Written and directed by Harmony Korine, The Beach Bum follows a crazy, over-the-top poetic burnout named Moondog, played by Matthew McConaughey. He is trying to write his “great American novel” and experience sexual relations in rapid succession.
The eclectic includes Isla Fisher, Snoop Dog, Jimmy Buffet, Martin Lawerence, and Zac Efron. Watch the movie trailer and get a feel for the movie.
The next five movie clips show the craziness of this movie. The clip with the dolphin boat captain is funny but the editing is rough. I am not quite sure what the message is in the movie. I am thinking he makes up for his estrangement from his daughter.
Written and directed by Steven Knight, Serenity follows Baker Dill, played by Matthew McConaughey, a fishing boat captain. Dill leads tours off a serene, tropical enclave called Plymouth Island.
I watched the movie last night on Prime. It is nothing like what we see in these clips and trailers, and the poster is not true to the story. I recommend this movie because it has a message that lingers with you long after the film ends.
The movies gradually become daringly original, sexy, stylized thriller as Dill’s quiet life is shattered. His former wife Karen, played by Anne Hathaway, tracks him down with a desperate plea for help. She begs Dill to save her – and their young son – from her new, violent husband, played by Jason Clarke, by taking him out to sea on a fishing excursion, only to throw him to the sharks and leave him for dead.
Karen’s appearance thrusts Dill back into a life he’d tried to forget, and as he struggles between right and wrong, his world is plunged into a new reality that may not be all that it seems.
The third trailer shows more of the movie and how it plays out for Dill.
These clips are intense, and this movie will have me on the edge of my chair. Such good acting in these two clips is all I can say right now until I see more. Here, we have two Oscar winners and a strong supporting cast. It is a suspenseful movie, which means it is plot-driven. That is even better. I love a good story.
The story thickens with three more intense and story-driven scenes. The whole time I am watching each scene, I think, “Dill is being taken advantage of.” He is vulnerable and surrounded by unscrupulous people. I am being kind when I say “unscrupulous.” McConaughey plays Dill as if he has no control over everything that happens; he is just being affected by the circumstances.
Directed by Yann Demange, White Boy Rick takes place in the 1980s in Detroit. During this time, the city’s crack epidemic was at its height with a War on Drugs.
Starring Matthew McConaughey as Rick’s dad, the movie is based on a true story of a blue-collar father and his teenage son, Rick Wershe Jr., played by Richie Merritt.
Rick became an undercover police informant and later a drug dealer before he was abandoned by his handlers and sentenced to life in prison.
The movie also boasts a talented cast including Bel Powley, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Brian Tyree Henry, Rory Cochrane, RJ Cyler, Jonathan Majors, Eddie Marsan, Bruce Dern, and Piper Laurie.
The movie clip is about what was going on in the drug work at the time. Not really a box office appeal but a lesson on the importance of doing the right thing and not breaking the law.
The movie clip is fantastic. It shows a well written and directed movie with some talented actors.
Demange is a French director who directed a darn good movie called ’71. Both movies are similar in storytelling with the same placement of the camera.
The second poster has a white background with the father and son image.
The movie trailer shows a wacky and crazy life on a dwindling spiral.
The movie is streaming now and available on Blu-ray/DVD. The story is tragic but great acting.
Directed by Nikolaj Arcel, I have not read many Stephen King’s books, so I am not familiar with The Dark Tower storyline or whether it follows the book at all.
Though, I am intrigued to see a young boy telling a story to a therapist of some sort. There are some talented people behind the camera and in front of the camera as well. Ron Howard is one of the producers.
The story follows a gunslinger, played by Idris Elba, and we are told there are other worlds than these, which is not that ambitious these days. Other worlds are quite common in the movie industry.
Still, it is an expansive story from one of the world’s most celebrated authors, and now it is headed to the big screen. So, the last Gunslinger, known as Roland Deschain, has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O’Dim, also known as the Man in Black, played by Matthew McConaughey, determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.
Also in the cast is Jackie Earle Haley, who is fondly known for playing Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise movies.
It really sounds like dark fantasy where kids tell the story late a night during a sleepover. I sure it will do well at the box office because King has a legion of fans.
Directed by Garth Jennings, Sing arrives with animated voices coming from Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton, and Tori Kelly. The movie is a musical comedy about finding the shining star that lives inside all of us.
Set in a world similar to humans but utterly inhabited by animals, Sing follows Buster Moon, played by McConaughey, a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist, with a touch of irony. But he loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one ultimate chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Featuring over 85 hit songs, the story focuses on five lead contestants emerge, including a mouse, played by MacFarlane, a timid teenage elephant, played by Tori Kelly, an overtaxed mother, played by Witherspoon, a young gangster gorilla, played by Egerton, and a punk-rock porcupine, played by Johansson. Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee, believing that this is their shot at changing the course of their life.
Here is a special message from Sing. This movie keeps getting cuter.
