Unlike the other trilogy ender "The Return of the King," this film does not feature a million epilogues that so clearly reveal a reluctance to leave the world and its characters. "The Battle of Five Armies" almost runs away rather quickly. And in many ways it is fitting. The trilogy as a whole has its moments that resemble the grandeur of the original film while never really reaching that level. That it ends on a nostalgic note seems to grasp for what could have been with these films. It was a fun ride, if somewhat of a disappointing one.
"Star Wars Episode VII" plot spoilers are among the news items most in demand from film fans everywhere. There have been plenty of rumors to go around for months including the fates of Luke and the main characters in the new film. Over the last few weeks, Han Solo's fate has also become a big topic of discussion, but shockingly no one has really mentioned where Princess Leia fits into this new galaxy far, far away.
Overall, "Unbroken" is a well-intentioned and refined picture that will move audiences to tears. It celebrates the human spirit of Louis Zamperini, but unfortunately lacks any original or masterful storytelling.
You have to love the rumor mill. Everyone wants to know what is going on with the upcoming "Star Wars" movies. This inevitably leads to a tremendous amount of speculation and new sources. So what has the latest new rumor revealed?
The National Board of Review has picked "A Most Violent Year" as the "Best Film of 2014." J.C. Chandor's crime drama, which tells the story of some thuggish New Jersey-New York oil cartels, was seen as an underdog in the category, which is decided by the more than one hundred members of the New York-based board.
And here come the rumors. Over the last few weeks, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has been a hot topic of debate. The teaser trailer debuted around the world, generating a plethora of new conversations. Is the new lightsaber brilliant or silly? Why is John Boyega's storm trooper lost in the dessert? Is that dessert planet Tatooine? What planet is Oscar Isaac on in his X-wing? Where are the storm troopers headed? Is the CGI shot of the Millennium Falcon really a step in the right direction or is this film slated to be over-reliant on CGI like the prequels?
"Wild" represents a bold piece of filmmaking from Vallee dominated by Witherspoon's fantastic turn. Many viewers may be turned off by the film's somewhat didactic finish but few will deny the transcendent qualities inherent in the experience.d
Overall this "Boheme" showed just how powerful this opera and production could still be despite its regular presentation. Yoncheva and DeMuro are two stars in the making while the remaining cast members all bring brilliant artistic qualities to make this a complete performance.
From the wildly popular "Madagascar" series, DreamWorks released the spin-off title "Penguins of Madagascar" on Wednesday in time for the holiday weekend, and reviews are surprisingly positive.
Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones dazzle with brilliant performances in James Marsh's new masterful and emotional film 'The Theory of Everything,' based on the life of acclaimed physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking. which is receiving Oscar buzz, and all the attention it is getting is undoubtedly well-deserved.
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" will certainly appeal to fans of the novel. But the film as a whole feels overlong and lacking in pace. The film leaves all the big emotional and climactic gestures for its second part, making this overture feel unnecessary and frustrating.
Overall the film is an uplifting movie. Many will label it as a LGBTQ feature but it is more of a coming of age story that demonstrates the difficulties of being a teenager and finding true love. Rather than having a bleak picture, Ribeiro brings forth the positives of teenage years
"Interstellar" may not be the Nolan film everyone wanted, but it is a solid film nonetheless. In a world where blockbusters are simply recycling other films ad nauseum, Nolan aspires to something new. He aspires, like the characters in the film, to push our limits and allow us to see things from a new perspective. The end result is a mixed bag, but it is certainly far better than most things on offer.
"Nightcrawler" pushes realism over the edge to exaggeration. But this is clearly Gilroy's intention. Only through extreme circumstances can he make his thesis on the corruption of storytelling in the media sing to the fullest. It is a tremendous comment, especially in the modern world where anything can technically be news if spun the right way, and surely one that will haunt viewers.
The official trailer for "Fast and Furious 7" was released Saturday and features the first looks at the franchise installment that still includes the late Paul Walker.
