Suburbicon finds frequent Coen Brothers
collaborator George Clooney doing his best impersonation of the filmmaking
siblings. Actually, I hope it’s not his best impersonation or we’ve got
problems. Behind the camera, Clooney so obviously apes his pals that his film
has no personality of its own.

'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' (2017) Movie Review
A snarky, modestly clever, at times startlingly violent riff
on James Bond’s urbane international man of mystery, Kingsman: The Secret Service is a decently fun watch. It’s not a movie I’ve ever
felt the need to see again, and it’s one that, the farther I get from it, the less
I find to enjoy. On the whole, it ultimately feels like a bunch of irritating
bros laughing and chugging beer. That’s fine, but there’s nothing more to it
than that. But The Secret Service made a butt-ton of money,
so writer/director Matthew Vaughn and company are back with a sequel,
Kingsman: The Golden Circle. And the word that repeatedly
comes to mind is overkill.

George Clooney's 'Suburbicon' Trailer Is Wicked And Hilarious
Not content with being a huge star, aging more gracefully
than any human ever to live, and selling his tequila brand for a billion dollars, George Clooney continues to make the rest of us mere mortals look like
turds by directing movies. His latest, the Coen Brothers-scripted
Suburbicon is one we’ve been keeping an eye on. The first
trailer just dropped and it’s pretty much what you expect, and I mean that in a
good way. Check it out.

'Seventh Son' Movie Review: Fantasy With Very Little Imagination
Seventh Son is like watching a
DragonForce song come to life. Seriously, there are dragons, witches, mystics,
monsters, and riding into battle; this is an adventure metal band’s wet dream. At
times this is an absurd amount of fun; at others, not so much at all. The
biggest problem is, for a big fantasy movie, there is very little imagination
to be found.
