Growing up a film and television fan in the wonderful state of Massachusetts, he grew a strong attachment to personal dramas. Teaming up his fandom for the world of entertainment along with his love of writing was just an all too natural fit for Matt. He can be often found at the local cineplex, eating at the local restaurants or playing basketball at any basketball court across Mass.
The Sundance film festival always produces great films, but some films seem to get lost along the way. After all of the big films are purchased by distributors, some movies struggle to even find distribution, which leads to a long delay before hitting mainstream audiences. A key example of this is Imperial Dreams, which is finally being released by Netflix after premiering at Sundance all the way back in 2014. The film follows Bambi, a former gangster who has been released from prison. Bambi tries desperately to stay away from the crime life while taking care of his son in the projects.…
Out of all the success stories this Oscar Season, Lion might be the most surprising. After not being talked about very much leading up to the nominations announcement, the film garnered an impressive six nominations, including Best Picture. After receiving such acclaim, Lion has finally expanded to nationwide audiences. The film is based on the remarkable true story of Saroo, an Indian boy who gets lost one night and later is adopted by an Australian family. After two decades, he desires to search for the family he has been away from. Lion will have a lot of passionate fans, but I am simply not one…
James Franco is one of the most fascinating actors, as he constantly is wavering between mainstream and indie cinema. For better or worse, he is someone who will continue to challenge himself and take daunting roles. I Am Michael may be his most challenging role yet. Premiering all the way back at 2015’s Sundance Film Festival, this film follows the true story of Michael Glatze, a gay man who rediscovers his faith in the Christian Church. As he gets deeper into his faith, he begins to question exactly who he is. I Am Michael has been sitting on the shelf for two years…
With Oscar season here, its no surprise that a slew of biopics has hit theaters. With there being so many, this slate has brought a few notable success stories (Hidden Figures and Sully), along with a few failures (Snowden). Perhaps the most anticipated of them all is Jackie. The film follows Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who in the wake of her husband’s death tries to plan his funeral and find herself in a new world. Jackie may not be among one of the year’s best films, but its certainly one of the most unique biopics in quite some time. Through its bold style and commanding lead performance, Jackie offers…
Apocalypse Now is one of the most accomplished war films to hit theaters. Between Francis Ford Coppola’s masterful direction and Marlon Brando’s potent performance, its a classic film that continues to live on forty years after its release. To some surprise though, it appears that an Apocalypse Now video game could be on its way. Under Coppola’s American Zoetrope productions, the brand has hit Kickstarter looking for 900,000 thousand dollars in funding for the game. Here is the official announcement as well as a small description: Your mission begins in Saigon, where Willard is holed up in a dingy hotel. Audio and visual…
Michael Fassbender is one of Hollywood’s most known and acclaimed actors working today. From bold performances in arthouse flicks like Shame to solid work in blockbusters in X-Men: Days of Future Past, Fassbender always makes a presence in each role he takes. Even the best actors though have their fair share of misfires, with Fassbender’s last project Assassin’s Creed falling on its face at the box office and with critics. He know tries to redeem himself with Trespass Against Us, a crime drama that follows Chad Cutler, who tries to raise a family under the influence of his criminal father. Boasting a great cast and an intriguing premise, Trespass…
The McConaissance continues to flourish, as star Matthew McConaughey has had a slew of fantastic performances over the past few years. From winning an Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club to starring in the Christopher Nolan film Interstellar, McConaughey’s career has taken an impressive 180 from being the star of romantic comedies. McConaughey continues to stretch himself as an actor with Gold, as he turns in his handsome persona to play a fat, washed-up man. The film follows Kenny Wells, who teams up with a eager geologist to search for gold. Their search, as well as the result of it, leads to more trouble than they bargained…
The Marvel brand is soaring higher than ever, with their success in film making them a known force. It looks like that brand is going to continue to grow, as they are now dipping more substantially into the gaming market. In a multi-game partnership with Square Enix, Marvel has announced that this first game in the partnership will be an Avengers game. This partnership is a very exciting deal, as we have seen less and less Marvel games over recent years. Aside from the Lego series and a few other phone games, the brand hasn’t been explored as much in gaming. Check…
