Directed by Todd Robinson, The Last Full Measure tells the true story of William Pitsenbarger, played by Jeremy Irvine, an Air Force medic who saved over sixty men in one of the harshest battles of the Vietnam War.
Offered the chance to escape on the last helicopter out of the combat zone, Pitsenbarger stayed behind to save and defend the lives of his fellow soldiers.
Twenty years later, Pitsenbarger’s comrade in arms, played by William Hurt, and father, played by Christopher Plummer, seek the help of investigator Scott Huffman, played by Sebastian Stan. Along with other surviving veterans of the battle, they finally procure him The Congressional Medal of Honor he deserved.
The movie also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Ed Harris.
The next four movie clips show you what the comrades in arms had to push through to give this war hero a much-deserved medal of honor.
Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Knives Out is a parody of the mastermind Agatha Christie. The movie looks like a modern-day murder mystery and everyone is a suspect. The story begins at the 85th birthday party of renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey, played by Christopher Plummer.
The movie is now streaming, or you can purchase the Blu-ray or DVD, and watch it whenever and wherever you want.
After his party, he is found dead at his estate, and the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, is enlisted to investigate his murder. But, it is unclear how he arrived at being the investigator, and that is a mystery in itself.
From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death. By watching the trailer, you can see Craig’s character heavily contrasts with his 007 in the James Bond movies.
From left to right. Richard (Don Johnson), Linda (Jamie Lee Curtis), Ransom (Chris Evans) Great Nana (K Callan), Marta (Ana de Armas), Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) Walt (Michael Shannon), Jacob (Jaeden Lieberher), Donna (Riki Lindholm), Joni (Toni Collette) and Meg (Katherine Langford).
The stellar cast includes Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, and Jaeden Martell.
The movie appears to be a witty and stylish whodunit. Johnson hopes to keep audiences guessing until the very end.
Johnson is best known for directing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. His other writing and directing credits include Brick and Looper.
The second trailer offers a better idea of what the movie is about and how it flows for the audience. It flows much better because it seems to be intense and funny.
The movie looks hilarious with overwhelming craziness. Daniel Craig plays a character so unlike his James Bond.
I am not sure what is happening in this next clip. We have two cops and an inspector.
The next clip shows how snappy the movie flows.
Daniel Craig and Jamie Lee Curtis are in a scene together. It is phenomenal.
Co-written and directed by Van Ling, Cliffs of Freedom is an epic story during the Greek War for Independence against the Ottoman Empire in 1821. Within the story is a turbulent romance between a young Greek village girl and a conflicted Turkish officer.
Twenty-year-old Anna Christina, played by Tania Raymonde, is smitten by Colonel Tariq, played by Jan Uddin, a rising star in the Turkish army. He doubts his fellow citizens’ brutal methods of governing the Greeks. He spared the life of Anna on a cliff-top when she was a child.
The romance that follows years later is tragic for her family and village. Joining the forces and swearing revenge against the Turks, Anna joins the Greek rebellion and unintentionally becomes the symbol of the Greek resistance movement. She inspires her fellow citizens and attracts the wrath of the Turks. They placed a bounty on her head.
She thought she had left her feelings for Tarig behind. She faces the man who still loves her and wants to keep her safe but now carries the burden of capturing her. Their encounters and skirmishes inevitably lead to a tragic confrontation during a pivotal battle between the Greeks and Turks. It changes the course of history.
The movie also stars Raza Jaffrey, Patti LuPone, Christopher Plummer and Billy Zane.
The Sizzle Reel shows a special screening of the movie. We meet the director, the actors, and those who know about this time in history.
Written and directed by Shana Feste, Boundaries follows single mom Laura, played by Vera Farmiga, along with her 14-year-old son Henry, played by Lewis MacDougall, is forced to drive Jack, played by Christopher Plummer, her estranged, care-free pot-dealing father across the country after he’s kicked out of yet another nursing home.
The movie is a road trip that veers off course when Jack decides to visit a couple of friends. Henry requests to see his ne’er-do-well dad Leonard, played by Bobby Cannavale.
Laura feels her life is appetite over a tin cup and she doesn’t know if she will hold it together. I am guessing the movie comes full circle and she sees her father for the man he really is.
The studio is calling this trailer a “soft” trailer. You be the judge.
The latest trailer explains the story better and is more clear about the father and daughter relationship contention.
Christopher Plummer is so good in the movie clip. He can play the deceitful grandfather brilliantly.
Here is a soulful movie clip with Vera Farmiga and, I believe, Bobby Cannavale.
Christopher Lloyd and Peter Fonda also star in the soul-searching movie about family.
Directed by Bharat Nalluri, The Man Who Invented Christmas follows the magical journey of Charles Dickens, played by Dan Stevens, which led to the development of one of the most classic characters in literature – Ebenezer Scrooge, played by Christopher Plummer. The classic story includes other well-known characters such as Tiny Tim.
Watching this trailer and being a writer, I find myself caught up in the irony of Dickens creating one of the most celebrated stories ever.
The movie is based on the book by Les Standiford, who is also a historian and has written several books on poignant times in history. Nalluri also directed Miss Pettigrew Lives for A Day, which did quite well at the box office.
The Man Who Invented Christmas entertains the story of how Charles Dickens mixed real-life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today.
I am delighted to see Outlander alumni, Scottish actor Bill Paterson, who plays Ned Gowan, Simon Callow, who played Duke of Sandringham, and Annette Badland, who played Mrs. Fritz.
I watched the movie with my daughter, and we completely enjoyed the movie. It’s a wonderful movie to watch during the holiday season because Dickens’ message come through loud and clear. Christmas is a time to be with friends and family while helping those who are less fortunate. The movie is available on Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming. My daughter and I watched it on Prime.
The trailers and clips did not do the movie justice. It is truly entertaining while learning about the life of Dickens.
I saw a great little clip where Dickens struggles to concentrate in a household of children. It such a fun movie to watch during the holidays.
This looks like a fun movie to see during the holiday season.
It is wonderful to see the process of such a great writer.
Great Featurette, the movie gets under Dickens’ skin.
