City of lies
Director: Brad Furman
Writers: Christian Contreras
Cast: Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, Shea Whigham, Toby Huss, Shameier Anderson, Rockmond Dunbar, Peter Green, Lawrence Mason, Kevin Chapman, Neil Brown Jr and Xander Berkeley
This film stinks strangely because not only was it delayed for three years, but it's also being filmed inmain rolesJohnny Depp ... as a police officer, no less. But you know what? Murder storyNotorious BIG really compelling, so even if the movie is a bit shaggy, it's hard not to find it interesting. DirectorBrad Furman surrounds Depp and his Oscar winnerForest Whitaker a supporting cast full of interesting character actors and a plot that Detective Depp uncoversRussell Pool unnerving to say the least. This movie certainly has its flaws, but it's pretty interesting in terms of video-on-demand rentals.
Nightmares
Director / Screenwriter: Anthony Scott Burns
Cast: Julia Sarah Stone, Landon Liboiron, Carly Ryski, Christopher Hetherington, Tedra Rogers
Screenwriter and directorAnthony Scott Burns shows great promise in this weird little sci-fi movie thatJulia Sarah Stone plays the role of a runaway teenager who takes part in a dream study that becomes a nightmarish descent into the depths of her mind and a frightening exploration of power. dreams. I have no idea what the budget was here, but it couldn't have been much, and Burns makes the most of it, creating gorgeous, dream-like visuals that make this film a good calling card for the director.
Spy Games
Director: Dominic Cook
Screenwriter: Tom O'Connor
Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel Brosnahan, Jesse Buckley, Merab Ninidze, Angus Wright
"Courier" is an old-fashioned spy film for a noble audience who can appreciateTinker Tailor Spy and other films that rely more on the brain than explosions.Benedict Cumberbatch playsGrevilla Wynna , a British businessman hired by his government to deliver messages to a Russian secret agent in the 1960s.Rachel Brosnahan andJessie Buckley is here nothing to work with but Cumberbatch gets down to business and I thinkMerab Ninidze was excellent as a Russian spy whom he had to trust. DirectorDominic Cook and screenwriterTom O'Connor well dramatize the special bond that the two shared under the most difficult of circumstances.
Enforcement
Directors / screenwriters: Frederic Louis Hwied and Anders Olholm
Cast: Jacob Lohmann, Simon Sears, Tarek Zayat
Perhaps I would never have seen this Danish crime film if I had not read the description of Variety, as stated in the introduction to this piece. AND "Attack on Precinct 13", and "Training Day » is an apt comparison, as the film follows two very different cops who are forced to spend the day as partners when anarchy erupts after a murder involving the police. They ended up in the Svalegorden ghetto, where young people seek revenge. The film is surprisingly timely given its release following calls for police acquittal after death.George Floyd . If you like intense international action thrillers, you should watchEnforcement .
Father
Director: Florian ZellerWriters: Florian Zeller and Christopher Hampton
Cast: Anthony Hopkins, Olivia Colman, Rufus Sewell, Imogen Poots, Olivia Williams, Mark Gatiss
This is one of several Best Picture nominees now available to watch from the comfort of your own home, following their exclusive theatrical release.Anthony Hopkins , the great lion of cinema, puts on a vivid performance as Anthony, an elderly gentleman who has trouble remembering. DirectorFlorian Zeller plays a clever game of revealing the structure of this film, which is based on his own play, but may also confuse some viewers. Personally, I felt like I was wasting so much mental energy trying to solve the mystery, so to speak, that it didn't connect me emotionally in the way I thought it would, and the way great dramas should have. It's really worth a look as Hopkins is really great andOlivia Colmangreat too, but I think this movie plays differently depending on your age. For older people, this may well seem like a horror movie from which there is no way out. Sounds fun, right?
Fortunately
Director / Screenwriter: Ben David Grabinsky
Cast: Joel McHale, Kerry Bishé, Paul Shear, Natalie Zee, John Daly, Natalie Morales, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Charlene Yee, Breckin Meyer, Shannon Woodward and Stephen Root
Can't say I liked the directorial debutBen David Grabinsky , which went crazy in the third act, but I liked its first hour well enough to include it on this list, as your experience here may differ. The plot is certainly interesting, because ittalks about married couple (Joel McHale andKerry Bishe ), which are stillare engaged these, like animals, several times a day, making them seem like space aliens to their friends. When the mystery man approaches in an attempt to "normalize" their marriage, he turns up dead and the couple elope for the weekend with a group of their friends, where their nightmare only gets worse. The hilarious cast makes this a fun movie to watch, and who knows, if you're married, you might become friends withHappily. more than my only ass.
Dangerous games
Directed by: Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff
Screenwriter: Jill Aubrey
Cast: Jill Aubrey, Bart Johnson
This film turned out to be an interesting little indie thriller in its surprising ending.Bart Johnson and screenwriterJill AubreyPlay as a couple trying to rekindle their marriage by spending the weekend in a remote smart home with the highest security. When a home invader breaks through their walls and taunts them, they band together to survive, though they will have to play an unhealthy game with their tormentor to do so. While I don't think Aubrey should have been in this movie herself, she deserves credit for this clever script that explores traditional gender roles, and she lends a certain credibility to the process that a more polished actress might not have been able to. replicate. If you're looking for a great indie thriller with tight running times, addHeld to your list.
Judas and the Black Messiah
Director: Shaka KingWriters: Shaka King, Will Burson, Keith Lucas, Kenny Lucas
Cast: Daniel Kaluuya, LaKate Stanfield, Jesse Plemons, Dominic Fishback, Ashton Sanders, Algie Smith, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Lil Rel Howery, Jermaine Fowler and Martin Sheen
I'm not surprised this movie was nominated for Best Picture over MoviesMa Rainey "Black Bottom" and "One night in Miami , because it's a cinematic crime drama that Hollywood loves much more than films that take place in the same place through the plays. I've always been drawn to great scripts, so I preferred both of these films."Judas and the Black Messiah" which, in my opinion, were not up to the level of the screenplay, even though the screenplay is currently nominated for an Oscar. I still think thatShaka King declares itself as the top director to watch here, and thatJudas is only the last step inDaniele Caluya andLaKate Stanfield.outstanding belts, but the story itself never reached me. Maybe you will feel differently, but no matter what, you still have to watch this movie before the Oscars. If you don't have HBO Max and are still uncomfortable going back to theaters, now is the time to rent a movie on VOD.
Last call
Director: Paolo Pilladi
Writers: Paolo Pilladi, Greg Lingo, Michael Bogan, Billy Reilly
Cast: Jeremy Piven, Taryn Manning, Zach McGowan, Jamie Kennedy, Chris Curson, Peter Patricios, Jack McGee, Bruce Dern, Cathy Moriarty, Cheri Oteri and Jason James Richter
Look, I've always had a weakness forJeremy Piven . FromJudgment Night andHeat beforePCU andEntourage There's something about this guy that I like. Here he plays a real estate developer who returns to his old neighborhood in Philadelphia and must decide what to do with his family bar while he flicks feathers among the locals in an attempt to get signatures for a new casino - the last thing this blue-collar town of drunks needs. . There's a certain sweetness to this humble little indie despite its constant vulgarity, and I, for one, loved this "guy movie" that deserves some decent attention.
The devil is in the details
Director / Screenwriter: John Lee Hancock
Cast: Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, Jared Leto, Chris Bauer, Michael Hyatt, Terry Kinney, Natalie Morales, Glenn Morshower and Jason James Richter
This is another HBO Max movie, and it's much smarter to just subscribe to this streaming service for a month, watch this movie, and have 29 more days to enjoy everything else the service has to offer, than just rent this movie. on VOD, but who am I to tell you what to do? I just have to recommend movies and shut up. This serial killer thriller isn't great, but its ending is a real blabbermouth. It's not exactly what haunted me, but I also can't say that I just forgot about it.Denzel Washington andRami Malek play a pair of Californian detectives who investigate a string of murders and settle the cases of creepy loner Albert Sparma (Jared Leto) as the prime suspect, though as with any good murder mystery, looks can be deceiving. As long as you keep your expectations in check and don't mind the film's leisurely pace, this movie can be a pleasant surprise.
No one
Director: Ilya Naishuller
Screenwriter: Derek Kolstad
Cast: Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, Alexei Serebryakov, Gage Munroe, Michael Ironside, Billy MacLellan, Colin Salmon & RZA
I didn't like this movie the first time, but on the second viewing, I forgave its plot flaws and just had fun.Bob Odenkirk looks an unlikely action hero, but he enjoys playing a former badass who, if you will, decides to reactivate after a home invasion that leaves him embarrassed and emasculated in front of his family.Ilya Naishuller ( Hardcore Henry ) is a truly gifted action director, and there are at least two scenes here that are absolutely crushing, but the final battle leaves a lot to be desired. Film directed by screenwriterJohn Wick Derek Kolstad.and while Odenkirk does his best, Keanu is here and deserves a lot of respect. No one only hints at the same rich mythology that keeps the franchise alive.John Wick for as long as she is. I'm going to watch the sequel because I think the movies are aboutVika only got better when they tried to outdo themselves, and a better villain could go a long way next time.No one not yet a reliable tenant for Friday/Saturday, just be prepared to forget it the next day.
Land of nomads
Director / Screenwriter: Chloe Zhao
Cast: Frances McDormand, David Strathairn, Linda May, Charlene Swankee, Bob Wells, Tay Strathairn
What else needs to be said about this? This movie will most likely win the Best Picture Oscar and even though it wasn't my personal favorite of the year, I still thought it was great.Frances McDormand plays Fern, a woman in her 60s who has lost her husband and home during the Great Recession and decides to travel the American West as a modern day nomad living in a van. McDormand is here again incredible, and the writer and directorChloe Zhao gives this drama the same noble sensibility as her latest film"Rider".. The film feels even more authentic thanks to the supporting cast, which mostly consists of non-professional actors, including many performers who in real life live like true nomads.Country of nomads is a beautiful poetry drama, so if you don't have Hulu, be sure to watch it on video-on-demand before the Oscars on April 25th.
Wrong Turn: Legacy
Director: Mike P. Nelson
Screenwriter: Alan McElroy
Cast: Charlotte Vega, Adyne Bradley, Emma Dumont, Dylan McTee, Daisy Head, Bill Sage and Matthew Modine
To be honest, I never originally planned to watch the reboot."Wrong Turn" , as he found the original to be forgettable and didn't watch any of the low-budget sequels. But the trailer that Saban Films cut for this film hooked me, so I, like everyone else, put my money in and walked away pleasantly surprised. ScreenwriterAlan McElroy concocts several gruesome murders in this film, which are brought to life with bloody glee by the directorMike P. Nelson and I liked the way the movie was built aroundMatthew Modina, investigating the disappearance of his daughter.Bill Sage also became an interesting villain for things like this, which were bloody fun in the woods.
