In what might be the best film of the year (not the most popular – that’s a toss up between Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Mad Max: Fury Road, and, for us, The Martian), Alejandro González Iñárritu one-ups his stellar Birdman with an equally compelling narrative which is, shockingly, a true one to boot. The Revenant has echoes of what other filmmakers might have done with their own surreal Western (Kubrick, Malick, and Refn to name but a few) and yet Iñárritu makes this his own, replete with stand-out visuals that say more than the characters ever could. The dialogue is kept brief, and the scenery/imagery tells us all we need to know. After…

G-S-T Review…Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues to take the world by storm, but that shouldn’t be news to anyone. It is Star Wars after all, but with J.J. Abrams at the helm, things looked really good from the get-go. The film isn’t perfect (pacing is sluggish at times, and villains, at this point, are under-cooked), but it is highly enjoyable, and that’s all thanks to solid writing, and the collage of themes and characters both old and new. Abrams, after proving his mettle revitalizing the Star Trek franchise, brings us a story that expands on everything that has come before and, more importantly, hits the right chord with fans. Episode VII,…

Sweet Trailer…’Eddie the Eagle’
20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for the Dexter Fletcher directed film Eddie the Eagle…and it looks awesome! Then again it’s from producer Matthew Vaughn and company, so anything with the “MARV” brand is a sure sign of quality. The film, about unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Taron Egerton), sets to show how a never say die attitude inspired his country and the world. The film also perfectly nails the look of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, and we can’t wait to see more. Enjoy the trailer and let us know what you think! Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about…

FourScore Match-Up #21: “The Life and Times of John Williams”
As I stated in our anniversary post (check it out here, it’s a really good read), 2015 has been a fantastic time to be a film fan. While the year didn’t quite hold as many game-changing blockbuster films as studios boasted (and fans or critics expected), most audiences were still plenty thrilled in theaters across the country. Mad Max: Fury Road and plenty more will be remembered for decades, but it just didn’t result in the “greatest Summer of all time” many wanted it to be. Regardless, in the entertainment world, if you end on a high note, people tend to forgive the missteps and mediocrity that came before. So…

Sweet Trailer…’X-Men: Apocalypse’
Well here’s a fine way to end the week. What is likely the last comic book trailer we’ll get this year, this 2 minute and 33 second teaser is the equivalent of Bryan Singer dropping the mic on 2015. The X-Men films have gotten better since Matthew Vaughn’s First Class and Singer’s return to Marvel with Days of Future Past. So, rounding out this prequelogy (pretty sure that’s not really a thing, but it sounds neat) is the impressive looking X-Men: Apocalypse. Due out next May, 2016 is going to be a comic book smack down of epic proportions, both on-screen and at the box office. Enjoy this first trailer…

Ho-Hum Trailer…’Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’
Yes, Dudes and Dudettes, major-league butt-kicking is back in town. The first trailer (and subsequent ones now that we think about it) for 2014’s Turtles didn’t give us the warm fuzzies. Worse than that, the trailers were actually better than the film and the plot. The only redeeming elements were Brian Tyler’s awesome score and that elevator scene. So it’s with a huge grain of salt that we prepare for this second at bat…and that title. Yikes! Good news is that Steve Jablonsky has stepped in for Tyler and we all know what he brings to his films. To a fault, we’re always hopeful, even if said film looks like…
