A movie review by Mr. Matthew Phinney: Cinderella Man Universal (June 3, 2005) Cast: Philip Craig, Russell Crowe, Eric Fink, Paul Giamatti, Mark Simmons Director: Ron Howard Let’s get “Cinderella Man” underway. Round 1: Being a boxer, it’s often difficult to watch a boxing movie for the entertainment and not get sucked into how wonky […]
Walking into a critic’s screening creates an unusual juxtaposition of feelings in the pit of your stomach. On the one hand, you’re acutely aware that you’re getting to see a movie months before its release, and as the theater staff usher you off to a screen with a form of pseudo secrecy, it’s easy to […]
The trailer for the new Taran Killam helmed action comedy “Killing Gunther” looked like an opportunity to watch an action icon introduce some levity into his normal shtick, with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Gunther” featured heavily throughout the two-and-a-half-minute commercial. With witty one-liners, plentiful explosions, and Schwarzenegger’s smiling face abutting each shot of the rest of the […]
There are no spoilers in this review. If you are going into this movie thinking you’re going to get a sequel to one of the great action flicks of the ’80s, reminiscent of “Commando” or “Escape from New York,” you’re going to be disappointed–remember that the original Blade Runner was not that type of movie either. It was […]
By Matthew S. Phinney Sicario Lionsgate (2015) Cast: Benicio DelToro, Josh Brolin, Emily Blunt, Jon Bernthal Director: Denis Villeneuve I dig this movie. It’s got suspense, action, mysterious characters, and a healthy mix of blunt force awesome and calculated violence. It boasts a formidable cast of Benicio DelToro, Josh Brolin, Emily Blunt, Jon Bernthal, that […]
I approach movies differently if I intend to review them for an audience. When I’m invited to a critic’s screening, I bring a notebook and I approach the story as though I would any other: with intent and an analytical eye. “Spider-Man: Homecoming” wasn’t such a film. As I buckled in to watch the third […]
Sometimes it is a nice thing to be pleasantly surprised. CBS’ new drama series “SEAL Team” had its debut with the pilot episode Wednesday night and from the look of the first showing, they did it right. The good folks at CBS may have a long-term, viable hit on their hands if they can play […]
I will be the first to say that I am always ready to read anything pertaining to the OSS in World War II and love the genre. I’ve read many of W.E.B. Griffin’s books and they follow along a same general outline. The plot and character development take up the vast majority of the novel […]
Back in April of 2015, Netflix launched season one of the Marvel series “Daredevil,” and the internet collectively sighed, bracing ourselves for another ugly outing of the character we watched Ben Affleck butcher twelve years prior… but many of my nerd brethren nonetheless buckled in to see what this new extension of the Marvel Cinematic […]
Unless you’re a Special Operations soldier or avid reading buff of guerrilla warfare, chances are that you’ve never heard much of Russell W. Volckmann. But American Guerrilla, The Forgotten Heroics of Russell W. Volckmann should be required reading for prospective Special Operations troops as well as current operators (although I dislike that term). The book […]
Back in May around Memorial Day, we listed some of our favorite War Films that are guaranteed to entertain and keep your interest. We could have easily added a couple of more as the genre always has some worthy additions by Hollywood’s filmmakers. This year’s blockbuster “Dunkirk” could easily make its way into that list. […]
Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” is a masterpiece of a war film that is a must see for any fans of the genre. The battle and evacuation of Dunkirk have been very rarely touched by filmmakers and for that reason, this film is a fresh look at a part of World War II that is largely forgotten. […]
