Antebellum (2020), Janelle Monae, Lionsgate Movies
From writers / directors Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, Antebellum is a new scary looking movie starring starring Janelle Monáe, Kiersey Clemons, Jena Malone, Jack Huston…
This does look quite promising. I’m especially interested in what seems to be a time travel theme.
Jack Huston, Eric Lange, Gabourey Sidibe, Robert Aramayo, Lily Cowles, T.C. Matherne, Caroline Cole, Marque Richardson, Devyn A. Tyler, Tongayi Chirisa, Choppy Guillotte and Todd Voltz also star.
Lady And The Tramp (2019), Disney+, Walt Disney Studio
A brand new second trailer for Disney’s Lady And The Tramp remake is here.
Starring Tessa Thompson, Sam Elliott, Justin Theroux and Thomas Mann, director Charlie Bean’s film tells the romantic story of a sheltered uptown Cocker Spaniel dog, and a streetwise downtown Mutt…
Firstly, I need to comment on how lovely Tessa Thompson’s voice is.
Second, I’m very ready for this story to unfold, especially because right now, it’s hard for me to believe that such a seemingly sweet young family would completely abandon their Lady.
Lastly, I wonder if they’ll both get adopted. If you know, don’t tell me.
Kiersey Clemons, Ashley Jensen, Benedict Wong, F. Murray Abraham, Ken Jeong, Arturo Castro and Yvette Nicole Brown also star.
The Only Living Boy In New York (2017): Kate Beckinsale, Callum Turner
Starring Kate Beckinsale, Kiersey Clemons, Pierce Brosnan, Callum Turner and set in New York City, The Only Living Boy In New York is all about a recent college graduate whose life is upended by his father’s mistress…
I’m curious about the heartbreak that’s sure to find the protagonist. That’s my reason for watching – along with my curiosity about Callum Turner. I’m curious because he looks like someone I used to know in high school and I want to reminisce.
Cynthia Nixon, Debi Mazar and Faith Logan also star.
Dope (2015), Kiersey Clemons, Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori
Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori and Kiersey Clemons play the three main characters of rick Famuyiwa’s letest, Dope. Blake Anderson, Kimberly Elise, rapper, A$ap Rocky, Zoe Kravitz and De’aundre Bonds make up some of the key supporting cast.
I’ve watched several of writer/ director Rick Famuyiwa’s films in the past. One of them being The Wood (1999); a movie similar to Dope in the way that it’s a comedy/ drama that tells the story of high school friends growing up in one of America’s toughest neighbourhoods, Inglewood, California.
The beauty with Dope is in the complexity and cleverness of the story, the vibrant cinematography and the way Famuyiwa’s film feels like a celebration of the smarts of the high school geek.
Considering where the film takes place, naturally there are some tense and hair raising moments. Moments that will have everyone that has never lived in a similar neighbourhood counting their lucky stars.
Dope (2015), Zoe Kravitz
The good news is that Dope manages to remain positive and an authentic and fun film experience. One that steers clear of becoming far too grim.
Yes, you’ll probably feel grateful as you watch, but what you’ll remember most are the colours, the funny and clever script, the positive / uplifting music and the seldom celebrated smarts of the geek.
