Top 5 – Joseph Gordon-Levitt Movies

It is incredible to think how long and prolific Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s career has been.  From being the adorable, baseball-loving orphan in Angels in the Outfield (1994), to ‘King of the Indies’ in the mid-2000’s, to one of Hollywood’s most diverse leading men, Levitt has proven he can do anything and can do anything well.  This weekend, Levitt stars in Snowden, the latest Oliver Stone film about N.S.A. informant Edward Snowden.  So, in honor of that, here’s a…

Review – Sully

Review – Sully

Sully tells the story of Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger (Tom Hanks), a pilot who became a national hero when he landed a plane in the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 people on the plane.  The film looks at the events that followed the landing, including an investigation questioning the events that happened. Director Clint Eastwood continues his recent trend of biopics, following Invictus (2009), J. Edgar (2011), The Jersey Boys (2014) and American Sniper (2014).  Sully is his best biopic yet,…

Review – The Light Between Oceans

Review – The Light Between Oceans

Derek Cianfrance really knows how to pull at the heartstrings.  His first two films, the relationship horror masterpiece Blue Valentine (2010) and the ambitious family drama The Place Beyond the Pines (2013), are some the most emotionally powerful movies I have ever scene.  His newest film, The Light Between Oceans, is just a powerful.  This is a sprawling, intimate, stirring movie, featuring a trio of spectacular performances. Taking place after World War I, former solider Tom (Michael Fassbender) takes a job…

Top 5 – Michael Fassbender Movies

Michael Fassbender is a cinematic treasure.  In such a short amount of time, he has become one of the most prolific and best actors working in Hollywood today.  He can make a big budget comic book movie and follow it up with an Oscar film or a small budget indie.  This weekend, Fassbender stars in The Snowman, a film I am incredibly excited for.  So in honor of that, here’s a look at my favorite…

Top 5 – Gene Wilder Movies

Tragedy struck again yesterday, when it was reported that the great Gene Wilder had passed away.  He was one of the finest comedic actors we ever had.  His combination of his dry, quick one-liners and gift for the art of acting made him a staple in the 70’s and an icon.  In honor of the great actor, here are my favorite Gene Wilder movies.     5 – HEAR NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL (Arthur Hiller,…

Review – Southside With You

Review – Southside With You

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama get the Linklater Before treatment in Southside With You, which focuses on the couple’s first date together when they were both colleagues at a Chicago law-firm. Did we actually need this movie?  Probably not, as I believe an account of what happened this night was already publicized at some point.  But, I am glad that we did.  Southside With You is a charming, smart, always interesting love story with…

Review – Don’t Breathe

Review – Don’t Breathe

Don’t Breathe should really be called Don’t Fuck with Stephen Lang.  This movie is an hour and a half of Lang kicking ass and taking names, as he plays a blind war veteran, known only as Blind Man, defending his house from three hooligans (Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zavatto) who break in trying to steal a large amount of money. The first half of the movie is incredibly intense.  The kids think they have it easy,…
