First Trailer

I never did get round to watching the version of the franchise that starred Jeremy Renner, The Bourne Legacy (2012). I mean, I am a Renner fan, but Damon just makes it look more exciting somehow. Perhaps it’s similar to how I know that Sean Connery makes a good James Bond, but Daniel Craig is my ultimate.

Jason Bourne Release Date(s): July 28th, 2016 (US & UK)…

THE MARTIAN (2015): Another Space Sci-Fi Hit Is Coming…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Martian (2015)


The new film from Ridley Scott, director of many hit films including Gladiator (2000) stars Matt Damon and it looks amazing.

As excited as I undoubtedly am, something tells me I’m probably going to get my heart broken, and by that I don’t mean I’ll be disappointed but that something similar to the end of 1998’s Armageddon might happen. 

I’d of course much rather be pleasantly surprised than have that particular theory come to fruition.

Then again, on the other hand, whatever it takes for the film to be great is what I really, really want. As such, I surrender.

Bring on November!

Happy Film Loving,

INTERSTELLAR (2014): As Expected, Christopher Nolan Did It Again. It’s Good

I finally did it. I watched Interstellar! The nearly three hour running time is part of the reason why I hadn’t yet. Plus, I believe it important to be in the right mood for a particular type of film before watching.

From Christopher Nolan, the director who brought us the hugely successful Inception (2010) and the recent Batman trilogy, the cast for Interstellar includes Matthew McConaughey, Ann Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, to name just a few.

Nolan has once more delivered a memorable film. One that features some stunning space imagery, a handful of nail biting/tense moments – and at the heart, a powerful and extraordinary father/daughter love story.

If you happen to be into astronomy and science, you’ll likely love this film even more, because it covers space exploration for the purpose of saving human kind from extinction – and it’s not afraid to dive into the science.

Like Inception (2010), Interstellar deals with a few non-simplistic concepts and therefore requires your full attention. I think I managed to keep up quite well, even though science isn’t my subject. That said, please be so kind as to not test my knowledge because I will fail. Thank you.

Happy Film Loving,
