Written and directed by John Krasinski, A Quiet Place Part II is ever so intense as its predecessor.
Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family, played by Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe, must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.
I watched the following three clips, and they had me jumping out of my seat. The creatures are darting here and there, freaking me out.
The feature introduces us to Cillian Murphy’s character, and he’s phenomenal.
Biography projects can be touchy because the screenwriter, Shia LaBeouf, takes a subjective look at his own traumatic experiences.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Alma Har’el, Honey Boy journeys the life of the young actor’s mean-spirited childhood, including his fledging adult years.
He struggles to reconcile with his father, played by LaBeouf, and deal with his mental health, fictionalizing his ascent to stardom and subsequent crash-landing into rehab and recovery.
Noah Jupe plays the young actor, with Lucas Hedges playing the older version of Otis Lort.
Har’el navigates the different stages in LaBeouf’s frenetic career. LaBeouf takes on the therapeutic challenge of playing a version of his father, an ex-rodeo clown and a felon.
Enter dancer-singer FKA Twigs makes her feature-film debut, playing neighbor and kindred spirit to the younger Otis while living in their garden-court motel home.
Har’el’s feature narrative debut is a one-of-a-kind collaboration between filmmaker and subject, exploring art as medicine and imagination as hope through the life and times of a talented, traumatized performer who dares to go in search of himself.
The trailer shows hardline misery, though Jupe is hardcore and shows committed acting skills.
Learning about LaBeouf’s traumatized childhood and knowing he worked for Disney studios in Even Stevens, what role did the studios play in helping him overcome, clearly, a bad upbringing?
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.
