    The Good Liar Film Review

    ★★★ Director: #BillCondon Starring: #HelenMirren, #IanMcKellen, #JimCarter and #RussellTovey Film Review by: #BrianPenn In a streetwise age we might wonder how anyone could be fooled by a con artist. But trust can sometimes defeat the cynic that lies deep within us. The Good Liar is a tale of deceit, greed and chickens that ultimately come home to roost. Retired university lecturer Betty McLeish (Helen Mirren) has been recently widowed, but husband Alistair has left her finan

    Anna film review

    ★ Directed by: #LucBesson Written by: Luc Besson Starring: #SashaLuss #HelenMirren #LukeEvans #CillianMurphy Film Review by: #GeorgeWolf After films such as La Femme Nikita and Lucy, writer/director Luc Besson is no stranger to the "beautiful killing machine" genre, but it seems the sexual treachery of Red Sparrow and the ass-kickery of Atomic Blonde have inspired him to get back in that familiar saddle. His Anna is built on the same sexy Russian assassin blueprint, then add

    The Nutcracker and the Four Realms film review

    ★★ Directed by #LasseHallstrom #JoeJohnston Written by #AshleighPowell Starring #MackenzieFoy #HelenMirren #KeiraKnightly #MorganFreeman Film Review by #HopeMadden Let’s say your birthday falls in December and as a lovely gesture your family took you to The Nutcracker Suite every year to celebrate, and every year you remembered again that you had no idea what the hell the ballet was about. Suppose, then, that Disney decided to make it into a movie and you thought that maybe n

    Mission Caligula documentary

    ★★★★ Directed by: Alexander Tuschinski Written by: Alexander Tuschinski Starring: Alexander Tuschinski, Kelly Holland, Bonifacio Brass Documentary Film Review by: Chris Olson Electric with myth, legend, and hearsay, short documentary Mission: Caligula is the exciting story behind filmmaker Alexander Tuschinski’s devotion and ongoing plan to restore a version of the notorious seventies film Caligula. However, unlike most movie restoration projects, this is not for aesthetic

    The Leisure Seeker film review

    ★★ Directed by: Paolo Virzi Starring: Helen Mirren, Donald Sutherland Film Review by: George Wolf Pairing up Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland is a welcome idea with exciting potential. Much of that potential is left unexplored by The Leisure Seeker in favor of embarrassing schtick and cheap sentiment. The veteran actors star as Ella and John Spencer, a senior couple in Massachusetts who bust out their old RV and run from the concerned grasp of their kids for a bucket list t

    Winchester film review

    ★ Directed by The Spierig Brothers Starring Helen Mirren, Jason Clarke Film Review by Brian Degning The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, is considered by many people as the most haunted house in North America. It was the former residence of Sarah Winchester, widower of firearm magnate William Winchester and heir to the companies’ massive fortune. After her husband’s death, she used her wealth to continually build many elaborate rooms and extensions which s

    Eye in the Sky

    ★★★★ Directed by Gavin Hood Starring Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, Aaron Paul & Barkhad Abdi Film Review by Chris Olson If you wanted to find a silver lining to modern global terrorism (and I think we all do), it’s that it has given us all a lot to think about. Politically, culturally, and socially, one of the most defining aspects of our lives over the last 15 years has been the proliferation of extremism since 9/11. Like it or not, most eras in history are inherently linked t

    Trumbo

    ★★★★ Starring: Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, Louis CK Director: Jay Roach Film review by Colin Lomas America is in the throes of mass paranoia, hysterical rhetoric from politicians presaging the clandestine terrorists next door, the evil doers secretly undermining a fine country through their schools, their hospitals, their media; how every man, woman and child must stand against this insurgence for the good of all. Won’t someone think of the children!? Sound fami
