Do you like noir? Then you’ll love this, it’s as simple as that.
Like those old movies from the 1970s and 1980s that your parents wouldn’t let you watch but you did anyway, this movie felt like that every step of the way. The music at the beginning doesn’t fit necessarily, but you won’t mind… it’s uneven, awkward, but so is the film. It’s a brutal story of revenge. It’s violence with a thin veneer of love.
This is an unforgettable story, and having Anthony Hopkins tell it makes it all the better. It’s the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, who, as a young British stockbroker at the time, couldn’t stand the atrocities he was seeing in Prague. Johnny Flynn plays the younger version of Winton and gives an amazing performance.

Adventure Racing is a global sport. It’s definitely not something I would be up for, even if I were perfectly fit, but if you don’t mind extreme heights and mud, this could be for you. Learning about what these individuals do, together with their teammates, of course, was a bit daunting. It’s a task just watching them!

I enjoyed the history of the film and getting down to what Jeff Harris is discovering. It starts as a story about a writer promoting and writing his next book and turns into a detective tale.

Hurry with Dune: Part Three! This is clearly going to be a trilogy and how you know this is exquisite. The opening line is, “Power over Spice is power overall.” Yes. It’s a vital import.
Io Capitano translates to “Me Captain,” and as you watch this young 16-year-old boy turn into a man in a short period of time, you’ll find the title fitting.

Now playing at a theater near you.
“Land of Bad” is an action-packed, tension filled movie about a military mission that goes wildly wrong. An elite group of Delta team operators are joined by a wet-behind-the-ears novice. Their mission into hostile territory will be a harrowing experience for the newbie. Even armed with the latest technology, the team has to face misfortune and a lethal enemy force.
Outside some skilled acting, I can only imagine my feelings towards this film as being a bit juvenile, somewhat frivolous and often preposterous. It is over the top in almost every scenario that it touches upon.
