Reel Talk:

To repeat what I have been saying for awhile now, movies with action actors like Dwayne Johnson, Sylvester Stallone, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are only designed to thrill and entertain us. Do not go to see their films expecting anything more like great performances or even good plots. So on that note, yes it was entertaining. It was very predictable and some of the dialog was un-necessary especially when you are in the middle of a mission to save someones life, but still action packed with some jaw dropping special effects which serve the purpose of entertainment. If you go into it with that mentality you will not be disappointed. A cool date movie but would be best if you catch it on a matinee.

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Ioan Gruffudd, Archie Panjabi, Paul Giamatti, Hugo Johnstone-Burt and Art Parkinson
Directed by: Brad Peyton
Rated: PG-13

Wanting to gain more knowledge about the pen and its attachment to this strange new world she hooks up with Athena
(Cassidy), the strange little girl who placed the pen into her possession and the two must find Frank Walker (Clooney) who was once a young boy genius that was ousted from the unique world of the future. He will have the answers to Casey's question and how they can save Tomorrowland from a soon pending destruction while the trio are now the target of a  massive hunt to prevent them from that mission.


Reel Talk:

A good family movie with some very good visual effects. My question is, why out of all these movies that are tagged with 3D effects that aren't really 3D worthy, this one didn't make the cut? It would have really been good in Imax 3D with the special array of colors and images. But outside the spectacular visual effects the movie was just alright and a little longer than it probably should have been that ended up with a corny ending.
But as I mentioned earlier this will make a good family movie for the children other than that you can wait for it to be released on cable.

Starring: George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Hugh Laurie, Raffey Cassidy and Tim McGraw

NEW "AMY" POSTER

A24 will open AMY in New York & Los Angeles on July 3, 2015

And Nationwide on July 10, 2015

From BAFTA award-winning director Asif Kapadia (SENNA), AMY tells the incredible story of six-time Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse – in her own words. Featuring extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks, this strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can.

A once-in-a-generation talent, Amy Winehouse was a musician that captured the world’s attention. A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense – she wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most unique and adored songs of the modern era.

Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel. Amy Winehouse died from alcohol poisoning in July 2011 at the age of 27.

Specialty Arm Acquires North American Rights

 

Fox Searchlight Pictures Presidents Stephen Gilula and Nancy Utley announced today that the company has acquired North American rights to YOUTH, starring Oscar winner Michael Caine, Oscar winner Rachel Weisz, Oscar winner Jane Fonda, Academy Award nominee Harvey Keitel and Paul Dano.  The film is written and directed by Paolo Sorrentino, director of Italy’s Oscar foreign language winner THE GREAT BEAUTY, and produced by Nicola Giuliano, Francesca Cima, Carlotta Calori for Indigo Film in collaboration with Medusa Film. YOUTH is coproduced by Fabio Conversi for Barbary Films, Jérôme Seydoux for Pathé, Stephen Woolley, Elizabeth Karlsen for Number 9, David Kosse for Film4, and Anne Walser for C-Films. YOUTH will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and is scheduled to be released in 2015.

 

“I’m delighted and proud that Fox Searchlight has acquired my new film: Youth. As a movie lover, I have always appreciated Fox Searchlight’s choices which have given us the opportunity to see beautiful and unforgettable films. This time, as the auteur, I am honored with the faith they have placed in me and the film," said Sorrentino.

 

“Paolo’s masterful film projects an extraordinary wisdom and grace.  Anchored by Michael Caine’s emotionally riveting performance and buoyed by an exceptional supporting cast, YOUTH is, simply put, a film about life and living told in the most cinematic of terms,” said Utley and Gilula.

 

“I am very happy that Fox Searchlight has picked up Youth. To secure a North American distribution with such a prestigious company, which always chooses and promotes its films with the utmost care, is a very important signal for Italian Cinema," said producer Giuliano.

From Paolo Sorrentino, the director of Italy’s Oscar foreign language winner THE GREAT BEAUTY comes YOUTH, about two longtime friends vacationing in the Swiss Alps. Oscar winning actor Michael Caine plays Fred, an acclaimed composer and conductor, who brings along his daughter (Rachel Weisz) and best friend Mick (Harvey Keitel), a renowned filmmaker.  While Mick scrambles to finish the screenplay for what he imagines will be his last important film, Fred has no intention of resuming his musical career.  The two men reflect on their past, each finding that some of the most important experiences can come later in life.

 

The deal was brokered by Fox Searchlight’s Senior Vice President of Acquisitions & Co-Productions Ray Strache and Executive Vice President of Business Affairs Megan O’Brien with Muriel Sauzay, Pathe’s Executive Vice President International Sales, who represented the film.

 

Fox Searchlight Pictures is a specialty film company that both finances and acquires motion pictures. It has its own marketing and distribution operations, and its films are distributed internationally by Twentieth Century Fox. Fox Searchlight Pictures is a unit of 21st Century Fox.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD

Plot:

During a post nuclear catastrophic era, Max (Hardy) who is a roaming nomad is taken captive by a group of blood harvesting speed junkies led by Immortan Joe (Byrne) an aged mad man who controls the people by controlling the food and water sources from the poor souls. Max is allowed an opportunity to escape when Furiosa (Theron) a fuel scout, hijacks a fuel tanker that is harboring a group of beautiful women that are concubines to the crazed leader who wants them back and so Max is able to climb aboard for an unwelcome ride. Eventually the two rebels realize that they must trust each other if they have any chance of surviving their cross desolated country journey while being chased by an army of savage unrelenting bandits. 


Reel Talk:

WOW!!! It has been 36 years since George Miller directed the first Mad Mad that graced the screens and 30 years since Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome closed out the third installment for the Mad Max trilogy series, all which were classics thanks to a young Mel Gibson. So with Miller back at the helm with having such a long hiatus, will he be able to bring anything to the 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road? Well lets just say he injected a dose of steroids into this one. From the start to the end it is an action packed thrill ride rolling at full throttle with some heavy special effects. Hardy who snarls more and speaks less as Mad Max than his veteran colleague Gibson who made the character an icon, compensates with his overshadowing action. Now you have to remember that movies like this is only designed to entertain and so this is exactly what it does. Charlize Theron was menacing as the one armed robotic heroine who was more madder than Max. Unlike the previous Mad Max films that give some incite to his life before becoming the nomad this one just starts with him on the road, no history about him whatsoever. Still Mad Max fans will not be disappointed, this is a very thrilling and entertaining movie that is worth the admission.

HOT PURSUIT

Plot:

Officer Cooper (Reese), who is a by the book policewoman that is trying to overcome a bad reputation that she received from an earlier incident, is given an assignment to help a FBI agent escort an informant drug dealer and his wife to Dallas for witness protection. But when they are ambushed and only Cooper and Daniella Riva (Vergara) the dealer's wife being the only survivors, are now fugitives on the run while they are being chased by crooked cops and criminals who are trying to to kill them before they reach the destination for Daniella to testify against the druglord that murdered her brother.


Reel Talk:

This film is being labeled the new age Thelma and Louise. It is a nice female buddy movie that strongly plays up the sex appeal of Sofia Vergara. You will get a few laughs out of it but then some of the repetitive jokes like the one about Witherspoon's character Cooper looking like a little boy or the one about Vergara's character Daniella's age constantly changing, becomes tiresome. A cool, enjoyable movie just not one that you have to run out to put on your must see list.

Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara, Matthew Del Negro, Richard T. Jones, John Carroll Lynch, Robert Kazinsky, Michael Mosley
Direct by: Anne Fletcher
Rated: PG-13

"CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR" SET TO BEGIN FILMING

MARVEL STUDIOS BEGINS PRODUCTION ON

MARVEL’S “CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR”

Principal Photography Begins in Atlanta

For May 6, 2016 Release

Marvel Studios has commenced principal photography at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, Georgia on “Captain America: Civil War,” the third installment of its Super Hero franchise.

Set for release in the United States on May 6, 2016, “Captain America: Civil War” is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Community”) from a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (“Captain America: The Winter Solider,” Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger”). The film returns Chris Evans (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron”) as the iconic Super Hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America along with Robert Downey Jr. (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Marvel’s “Iron Man 3”) as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Scarlett Johansson (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”) as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, Sebastian Stan (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Captain America: The First Avenger”) as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”) as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Paul Bettany (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Iron Man 3”) as The Vision, Jeremy Renner (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Marvel’s “The Avengers”) as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Don Cheadle (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Iron Man 3”) as Jim Rhodes/War Machine and Elizabeth Olsen (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Godzilla”) as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.

After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

"ZOOTOPIA" CAST CELEBRITY VOICES

VOICE CAST REVEALED

 

Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman Head to “Zootopia”

Walt Disney Animation Studios welcomes Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman to “Zootopia,” Disney’s 2016 animated feature set in a modern mammal metropolis. Goodwin (ABC’s “Once Upon a Time,” “Something Borrowed,” “Walk the Line”) will lend her voice to an optimistic bunny named Judy Hopps who’s new to Zootopia’s police department. Jason Bateman (“Horrible Bosses 2,” “This is Where I Leave You”) voices the scamming fox, Nick Wilde, who Judy reluctantly teams up with to crack her first case.

“We knew that ‘Zootopia’ would only succeed if we found the perfect actors to play our main characters,” said director Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”). “This rabbit- and fox-duo are in practically every scene in the film together. After meeting Ginnifer, we knew she embodied Hopps, the ultimate pure-of-heart, idealist bunny. You fall in love with her character instantly. And for Nick Wilde, our cynical con-artist fox, we only ever had one actor in mind, the incomparable Jason Bateman. Jason has a way of saying the most hilarious sarcastic things while always staying completely charming. We feel so fortunate to be working with both of them.”

The film opens nationwide March 4, 2016.

ABOUT THE MOVIE

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a comedy-adventure is directed by Byron Howard (“Tangled,” “Bolt”) and Rich Moore (“Wreck-It Ralph,” “The Simpsons”) and co-directed by Jared Bush (“Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero”).
