- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsRoy ScheiderRobert ShawRichard DreyfussWhen a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Cape Cod, it's up to a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.Still views great after all these years. That's some bad hat, Harry. Never knew that came from here.
- DirectorPaul ShoulbergStarsZachary SpicerWrenn SchmidtDanny GloverDaniel loved his job as a small town priest more than anything. Then he met Jane. God help him.This got me wanting to see anything with John C. McGinley (Dr Cox from Scrubs).
- DirectorJohn CurranStarsEdward NortonMilla JovovichRobert De NiroA convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman's path.
- DirectorIsaac FlorentineStarsAntonio BanderasKarl UrbanPaz VegaA fast-talking lawyer transforms his body and takes a vow of silence, not to be broken until he finds out who killed his wife and daughter and has his revenge.Made me want to read meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
- DirectorBette GordonStarsJulia StilesJohn C. McGinleyTracie ThomsA psychiatrist faces his past, present and future when he finds himself involved in the treatment of a young man recently released from prison for a murder committed when the boy was just 11 years old.The ending was lame, and John C. McGinty had much too small a role.
- DirectorWalt BeckerStarsTim AllenMartin LawrenceJohn TravoltaA group of suburban biker wannabes looking for adventure hit the open road, but get more than they bargained for when they encounter a New Mexico gang called the Del Fuegos.I actually enjoyed it. Thought it was funny. "Men were building pyramids back in your day." Black raven flies into John Travolta's face. Good times.
- DirectorAndrew HaighStarsCharlotte RamplingTom CourtenayGeraldine JamesA married couple preparing to celebrate their wedding anniversary receives shattering news that promises to forever change the course of their lives.It took me a long time to get through this one. Lots of scenes of the wife just looking perplexed; not knowing exactly what she's thinking...the dude puttering around smoking where he's not supposed to, etc. I didn't even know what the catastrophic event in his past was clearly until I read it on imdb
- DirectorZak HilditchStarsThomas JaneMolly ParkerDylan SchmidA simple yet proud farmer in the year 1922 conspires to murder his wife for financial gain, convincing his teenage son to assist. But their actions have unintended consequences.
- DirectorJoel EdgertonStarsJason BatemanRebecca HallJoel EdgertonA married couple, Simon and Robyn, run into Gordo, an old classmate. Things take a turn when Gordo begins to drop in unannounced at their house and inundates them with mysterious gifts.
- DirectorTom McCarthyStarsMark RuffaloMichael KeatonRachel McAdamsThe true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.
- DirectorCraig GillespieStarsMargot RobbieSebastian StanAllison JanneyCompetitive ice skater Tonya Harding rises amongst the ranks at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, but her future in the activity is thrown into doubt when her ex-husband intervenes.Much better than I thought it would be. Discovering that I really enjoy period pieces, especially if I lived through or had some knowledge thereof. What came out in the movie was her horrible mother. It's no wonder Tonya turned into the trailer trash we all grew to hate.
- DirectorJoe WrightStarsGary OldmanLily JamesKristin Scott ThomasIn May 1940, the fate of World War II hangs on Winston Churchill, who must decide whether to negotiate with Adolf Hitler, or fight on knowing that it could mean the end of the British Empire.Seen on outbound flight to Phils. Much of this paralled Dunkirk, the movie. Although for the first time, we see some of his kids. They seemed almost a non-entity to him, as his love and dedication was for the state. Also, there was a touching scene where Churchill goes to the Underground, and starts polling people as to whether they wanted to make peace with Germany. I didn't realize that Chamberlain and his supporters (particularly Lord Halifax) were very much on him and for, negotiating a peace treaty with Germany with Italy as the moderator.
- DirectorAaron SorkinStarsJessica ChastainIdris ElbaKevin CostnerThe true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target.Didn't realize it was Kevin Costner playing the father until the movie was 2/3 over. Seen on outbound flight to Philippines. The idea was brought up of how you must be tough on your kids for them to over perform. Kevin was, and all three of his kids reached high levels of success.
- DirectorAntoinette JadaoneStarsNadine LustreAdrian AlandyJames ReidIt tells the story of young lovers who tries to build a life together until career opportunities sends them to a different country where their relationship will be tested.Seen at Ayala Cinema with Wella. Movie was good, but not 8.7 good. I see now with the paucity of reviews, and most probably coming from Filipinos. Shows how the working daughter is expected to contribute to family. Not optional.
- DirectorScott DerricksonStarsBenedict CumberbatchChiwetel EjioforRachel McAdamsWhile on a journey of physical and spiritual healing, a brilliant neurosurgeon is drawn into the world of the mystic arts.Seen with Lyn at the apt in Colton. She recommended watching it, and I was only too happy to comply. I was hoping they would go more into the "mind over matter" stuff, but outside of one incident atop Mt. Everest.....it seemed the good Doctor transformed himself into the Master too quickly.
- DirectorGeorge C. WolfeStarsDiane LaneRichard GereChristopher MeloniA doctor, who is travelling to see his estranged son, sparks with an unhappily married woman at a North Carolina inn.Way too formulaic, not to the extent of the agonizing sappiness of Janet Evanovich, but getting there. Let's throw two household cute names together, add a little drama, add a little death, and hopefully a tear or two at the end. THe viewing of the Breakers, the wild horses, I saw coming as soon as they were mentioned.
- DirectorClaire ScanlonStarsZoey DeutchGlen PowellLucy LiuTwo corporate executive assistants hatch a plan to match-make their two bosses.Lucy Liu still got it. She still looks good albeit in a rather harsh way. Played some great music in this film, included a remake of Come Go With Me by Adam Bravin.
- DirectorShawn LevyStarsFrankie MunizAmanda BynesPaul GiamattiFourteen-year-old Jason Shepherd has a reputation for stretching the truth. So, when big-time Hollywood producer Marty Wolf steals his class paper and turns it into a smash hit movie, no one believes Jason's latest tall tale.
- DirectorHoward DeutchStarsDan AykroydJohn CandyStephanie FaracyA Chicago man and his family go camping with his obnoxious brother-in-law.For a movie with both John Candy and Dan Akroyd, it was quite disappointing. Seen on the return flight from NYC. Sound quality was bad, and there were no subtitles. Odd seeing Annette Bening in a "supporting" role. The romance between the nobody kid and the local girl was also tacked on.
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsCarla GuginoBruce GreenwoodChiara AureliaA couple tries to spice up their marriage in a remote lake house. After the husband dies unexpectedly, the wife is left handcuffed to their bed frame and must fight to survive and break free.Saw with Lyn in Cebu. Got to my claustrophobia early, but that passed.
- DirectorDavid KerrStarsRowan AtkinsonBen MillerOlga KurylenkoAfter a cyber-attack reveals the identity of all of the active undercover agents in Britain, Johnny English is forced to come out of retirement to find the mastermind hacker.I think it's funnier when Atkinson speaks sparingly; however, that being said, this still had it's funnier moments. Boff as his sidekick also made for a funny pair, as in the scene where Boff was being chased by the dogs.
- DirectorJanus MetzStarsSverrir GudnasonShia LaBeoufStellan SkarsgårdThe story of the 1980 tennis rivalry between the placid Björn Borg and the volatile John McEnroe.I think I remember reading about how Borg had his whole life down to routines, and I can definitely remember when he retired. It sent shock waves through the sporting community. I think that epic match was also what led to the infamous "Bjorn wins, Bjust Barely SI cover!
- DirectorBaltasar KormákurStarsShailene WoodleySam ClaflinJeffrey ThomasA true story of survival, as a young couple's chance encounter leads them first to love, and then on the adventure of a lifetime as they face one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in recorded history.
- DirectorMel SmithStarsRowan AtkinsonPeter MacNicolJohn MillsThe bumbling Mr. Bean travels to America when he is given the responsibility of bringing a highly valuable painting to a Los Angeles museum.Saw with Lyn in Cebu. This is the muted, younger Bean version. The supporting cast was pretty weak, although a surprise cameo from Burt Reynolds.
- DirectorIvan ReitmanStarsNatalie PortmanAshton KutcherKevin KlineA guy and girl try to keep their relationship strictly physical, but it's not long before they learn that they want something more.
- DirectorChristopher McQuarrieStarsTom CruiseHenry CavillVing RhamesEthan Hunt and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong.I actually could follow what was going on in this one; unlike so many other MI films. And the scene at the end, with the race to defuse the two nuclear bombs, was truly suspense like no other.
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsJosh BrolinGeorge ClooneyAlden EhrenreichA Hollywood fixer in the 1950s works to keep the studio's stars in line.
- DirectorStephen ChboskyStarsJacob TremblayOwen WilsonIzabela VidovicBased on the New York Times bestseller, this movie tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters the fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time.
- DirectorAntoine FuquaStarsDenzel WashingtonChris PrattEthan HawkeSeven gunmen from a variety of backgrounds are brought together by a vengeful young widow to protect her town from the private army of a destructive industrialist.AS much as I love Denzelle Washington, he does not make for a good cowboy. The actor who played Bogue personified evil in a very convincing way.
- DirectorDylan PearceStarsJewel StaiteShawn RobertsChris CraddockA rom-com about the adventures of a small town teacher, Kate Carter, going back to the city for her wedding. After a blizzard strikes, she is forced to travel with a stranger named Redford who leaves her questioning her future plans.The prospect that two people could meet, share a few laughs and dangerous experiences, and bond out of a marriage? Not really....
