Movie Review: Classic And Entertaining Action Is On Full Display In JOHN WICK.


John Wick

Director: Chad Stahelski
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Ian McShane, and Willem Dafoe.
Rated R for strong and bloody violence throughout, language, and brief drug use.

No one had heard of this movie even a month ago. Somehow it crept up on us without too much attention or buzz, but I'm here to tell you that John Wick is a wildly entertaining action revenge flick. Nothing more, nothing less.

Movie Review: FURY Is One Of The Better War Dramas In Recent Years.


Fury

Director: David Ayer
Cast: Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman, Shia LeBeouf, Michael Peña, Jon Bernthal, and Jason Isaacs. 
Rated R for strong sequences of war violence, some grisly images, and language throughout.

"War never ends quietly." Director David Ayer really drives this fact home in his latest film, Fury. Ayer has been hit and miss with his directorial efforts, but he delivers arguably his best film to date with this story about an American tank crew who must push their way behind enemy lines in Nazi Germany at the end of World War II. Fury is an intense, yet compelling war drama that is able to feel fresh by showing audiences what it was like inside a tank during this pivotal time in history.

Movie Review: Director David Fincher Terrifies Yet Again With GONE GIRL.


Gone Girl

Director: David Fincher
Cast: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, Carrie Coon, Kim Dickens, and Tyler Perry.
Rated R for a scene of bloody violence, some strong sexual content/nudity, and language.

Director David Fincher (Se7en, Zodiac, Fight Club, The Social Network) gives life to Gillian Flynn's bestselling novel about a beloved woman who's gone missing and her husband who doesn't seem to be very concerned about it. Fincher is one of Hollywood's most respected directors today with an impressive resume, and with Gone Girl he delivers yet another shining thriller to his body of work.
