What is the tolerance level for collateral damage during drone strikes? It’s been a topical subject for years, as the U.S. and other countries fight the war on terrorism from the air and not so much the ground. British screenwriter Guy Hibbert (Prime Suspect) wrote the script for Eye In The Sky in 2008. Years […]
Remember
There must be a day of reckoning and it can’t be left up to fate. That’s the premise of this extremely inventive geriatric revenge movie, which is the brainchild of casting director turned screenwriter Benjamin August. His ingenious script weaves together senior citizens, Holocaust survivors, onset Alzheimer’s and a trail of death into a drama/mystery/thriller. […]
The Beach Towns of Northern Miami
Vacation bliss has spread from South Beach, the old standby, to northern neighborhoods. Above 90th Street and Collins Avenue, it’s less traveled, adult friendly and minus what those locals call “the chaos of South Beach.” There are two distinct neighborhoods that are worth a visit: 1. Bal Harbour, home to the chic Bal Harbour Shops, […]
London Has Fallen
A good action/thriller movie keeps you tense, engaged and excited. A great action/thriller does all that and you still feel anxious long after you’ve left the theater. This sequel to the $161M-grossing Olympus Has Fallen, about a Secret Service agent who guards the president, is good but not great. Creighton Rothenberter and Katrin Benedikt […]
Eddie the Eagle
Somewhere in between the football tearjerker Rudy and the offbeat cult-classic Jamaican bobsled team bio Cool Runnings, there is room for this very disarming, true-life tale of a bumbling British ski jumper, Michael “Eddie” Edwards, who made it to the 1988 Calgary Olympics, against the odds, and experienced fame. Grab some popcorn and be prepared […]
Race
“On the track, there is no black and white, just fast and slow. For those 10 seconds you are free,” says Jesse Owens (Stephan James) in this very moving and inspiring bio/sports movie that captures the essence of this legendary athlete’s life, challenges and achievements. Race is a history lesson, personal profile and a crowd […]
Triple 9
Honor among thieves? Not with this bunch. These guys are playing a mean duplicitous game, and as they do, you can’t guess who will survive. That’s the mark of a solid, tense cop/crime/thriller. A good one will keep you speculating, until the last bullet leaves its chamber. Terrell Tompkins (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Russell Welch (Norman […]
Deadpool
“I’m super, but I’m not a super hero,” clarifies Deadpool, a petulant mutate. Yes he has mighty powers, but no pretense about being a nice guy. If there is ever an Avengers Hall of Fame, he’ll never get there; they wouldn’t even let him clean the latrines. If an Avenger ever makes it on to […]
Ride Along 2
Too soon. As the opening credits start to roll, you wonder why the producers didn’t’ give moviegoers a real break between Ride Along (2014) and Ride Along 2 (2016). Two years is not enough time to make audiences yearn for more, not enough time to take this franchise to the next level. Bad Boys […]
