American Ultra (2015), Kristen Stewart, Jessie Eisenberg
I’m hoping that Kristen Stewart and Jessie Eisenberg’s new film, American Ultra ends up delivering all the thrills suggested in this fun looking, mad and chaotic trailer.
Directed by Nima Nourizadeh (Project X (2012), the film appears to be one of those stoner comedy/adventure types; kind of like one of my favourites, Pineapple Express (2008). Wouldn’t that be just great?
I’m looking forward to seeing both Stewart and Eisenberg in these different looking roles, compared to their usual work.
John Leguizamo, Topher Grace and Connie Britton also star.
Jon Favreau’s Chef is a comedy film with great music and mouthwatering food that makes you wish you had immediate access to all the bites featured.
More than a feast for your stomach and then some, it’s a beautifully told story about family – particularly the relationship between a busy father and his ten year-old son.
The film also speaks to the sensibilities of those stuck in a career path that no longer supports their need for creative freedom, and or desire to serve their passions in a way that makes them happy.
There are one or two more themes that emerge from the narrative thread. I’ll let you discover those beautiful gems for yourself. Maybe they’ll speak to you more than the ones that stood out for me. Either way you’re likely to be hooked as soon as the film starts.
