Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Death on the Nile continues the mystery series from the books by Agatha Christie.
Detective Hercule Poirot investigates another murder. This time the murder of a young heiress aboard a cruise ship on the Nile River.
The stellar cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Emma Mackey, Annette Bening and Russell Brand.
Co-written and directed by Anthony Maras, Hotel Mumbai is based on true events that happened in 2008. Terrorists in Mumbai, India, sieged the famed Taj Hotel.
Among the dedicated hotel staff is the renowned chef Hemant Oberoi, played by Anupam Kher, and a waiter, played by Dev Patel. They both choose to risk their lives to protect their guests.
The movie shows how the world watches, and a desperate couple, played by Armie Hammer and Nazanin Boniadi, is forced to make unthinkable sacrifices to protect their newborn child. John Issacs also stars in the movie, but his character’s role in the story isn’t clear.
John Collee co-wrote the screenplay with Anthony Maras. Collee worked as a doctor in the UK and other countries around the world. Hotel Mumbai is Maras’ first feature movie. He’s produced and directed three shorts.
The movie trailer is intense, and I am impressed with the filming of the movie.
The featurette tells the true story of what happened at the hotel in 2008 when the terrorists arrived. The actors are interviewed and relate to when this happens in real life. There are real-life heroes in this story.
This movie is intense, with undercurrents of fear, distrust, and uncertainties. The fact that it is based on a true story makes it even better. The movie is a plot-driven story by the curiosity of their survival against constant intrusion.
Directed by Mimi Leder and written by her nephew, Daniel Stiepleman. On the Basis of Sex follows the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, played by Felicity Jones, and her struggles for equal rights. Her life as a wife and mother, whose husband, played by Armie Hammer, entirely supported her.
The first movie clip shows what is going on during the time of Ginsburg’s career and family life. It hits heartstrings because we know her daughter is telling the truth.
Watch all the movie clips and trailer because this is a dynamite movie.
The second clip shows us how Ginsburg started to formulate her process of getting equal rights for all sexes.
The movie follows Ginsburg, and we discover what she overcame to become a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
I am excited to see Leder directing a movie. I admire her work and hope to see more films directed by her.
The movie clip shows how strong and straightforward Ruth Bader Ginsburg confronted human rights.
This movie clip says it all.
The movie also stars Justin Theroux, Sam Waterston, and Kathy Bates.
After seeing a movie clip blocked by the studio, so I can’t show it to you, I am convinced Felicity Jones makes this movie strong. The trial or other issues in the film are just part of the story, but this is about Ginsburg. She is a fantastic person and is lucky Jones plays her in the movie.
Written and directed by Stanley Tucci, Final Portrait centers on world-renowned Swiss painter and sculptor Alberto Giacometti, played by Geoffrey Rush. The movie takes place in 1964, when James Lord, played by Armie Hammer, is on a short trip to Paris. Lord is an American writer and art lover. His friend, Giacometti, asks him to sit for a portrait. The process, Giacometti assures Lord, will take only a day. Flattered and captivated, Lord agrees.
The offbeat friendship twists and bends along through the eyes of the Lord. He learns about beauty, frustration, perceptiveness and the chaotic process of creating art. The story is about defining a genius and a friendship between two completely different men. Still, they bond in creativity.
Tucci is a well-known actor in such films as The Hunger Games movies, Julie & Julia, and Spotlight. He has directed memorable films like Big Night, The Imposter, and Blind Date. Hammer starred recently in Call Me By Your Name and has other credits like The Social Network and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
The trailer and clips reveal a great movie and an excellent character study of an artistic genius.
