If it wasn’t clear before, I think we can officially name Timothée Chalamet as the best movie star of his generation. “A Complete Unknown” follows the early career of folk singer Bob Dylan (Timothée Chalamet), from his humble beginnings at open mics leading up to the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd… Continue reading ‘A Complete Unknown’ Review: Great Performances Elevate Bob Dylan Biopic Above Tropes

‘Dune: Part Two’ Review: An Improvement Upon the First on Every Level

The accounting departments of rival studios must be crazy good at their jobs, it’s the only excuse for recent blockbusters looking as cheap as they do with massive budgets while the “Dune” series looks far better with less costs. “Dune: Part Two” is the follow-up to the 2021 film, both based on Frank Herbert’s novel… Continue reading ‘Dune: Part Two’ Review: An Improvement Upon the First on Every Level

Proof that just because you have an Oscar to your name and an A-List cast to work with, doesn’t mean you’re capable of making a genuine good film. “Don’t Look Up” is the third “serious” film from director Adam McKay, and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as two scientists who discover a comet headed… Continue reading ‘Don’t Look Up’ Review: Adam McKay Misses the Mark Yet Again

There’s a running joke that the Marvel movies are just expensive commercials for future Marvel movies, but this is literally a commercial for future “Dune” movies… “Dune” is the second adaptation of the 1965 novel by Frank Herbert, following David Lynch’s 1984 film. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the film stars Timothée Chalamet as a young… Continue reading ‘Dune’ Review: It Looks Great, But Is That Enough?

Last year had “A Star Is Born” and now this year’s “remake of a film that gets redone every 25 years” is “Little Women.” “Little Women” is the eighth adaptation of the 1868 novel of the same name, this time written and directed by Greta Gerwig.

‘Call Me by Your Name’ is an Honest, Painful Look at First Love

David Palmer2 Comments

Michael Stuhlbarg has appeared in an Oscar-nominated film five of the past six years and in 2017 appeared in three (likely) Best Picture nominees. Hope he’s paying his agent enough… “Call Me by Your Name” tells the story of the romantic relationship that develops between a 17-year-old (Timothée Chalamet) and his father’s American assistant (Armie… Continue reading ‘Call Me by Your Name’ is an Honest, Painful Look at First Love

‘Lady Bird’ a Warm, Honest Dramedy

David Palmer2 Comments

Between Jordan Peele with “Get Out,” Aaron Sorkin with “Molly’s Game” and Greta Gerwig here, 2017 has been a great year for directorial debuts. “Lady Bird” stars Saoirse Ronan as a high school senior living in 2002 Sacramento. In her final year before going off to college, she deals with boys, popularity and her turbulent… Continue reading ‘Lady Bird’ a Warm, Honest Dramedy
