Set during the Great Depression; Dreamland has Margot Robbie as Allison Wells, a seductive fugitive bank robber who’s hiding in a small town that’s occupied by a teenage bounty hunter named Eugene (Finn Cole). Young Eugene must decide between helping or capturing Allison.
Directed by Miles Joris-Peyrafitte; additional key cast includes Travis Fimmel, Garrett Hedlund, Lola Kirke and Kerry Condon.
I’m mostly in because of Robbie and also a little curious about the Bonnie and Clyde vibe.
Darby Camp, Ginger T. Rex, Grayson Berry, Krista Bradley, Jane Wilson, Hans Christopher, Tim D. Janis, Joe Berryman and Bruce McIntosh also star.
Finding Steve McQueen (2019), Travis Fimmel, Rachael Taylor, Momentum Pictures
Finding Steve Mqueen is a new crime/thriller based on a true story set in 1972 in Youngstown, Ohio.
Starring Travis Fimmel, William Fichtner, Forrest Whitaker and Rachael Taylor; director Mark Steven Johnson’s story is about a gang of thieves as they attempt to steal $30 million in illegal contributions and blackmail money, from President Richard Nixon‘s secret fund.
Travis Fimmel, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, and Charlie Plummer are the stars of Lean On Pete, an Andrew Haig-directed adventure/drama about a teenager who befriends a fading racehorse named Lean on Pete.
I’m interested because I want to learn more about the impracticalities of having a pet horse, sans stable/barn. If something else about this movie ends up resonating with me, then great.
Amy Seimetz, Ayanna Berkshire, Steve Zahn and Thomas Mann also star.
I don’t understand the assertion that Warcraft is a movie only true fans of World Of Warcraft (the multiplayer online role-playing game) that this movie is based on can enjoy. I had a good time and I’m certainly not a ‘true fan.’ Especially since the only reason I know about World Of Warcraft is because of the characters of CBS’s comedy series, The Big Bang Theory.
Since fantasy movies generally aren’t my thing, it may not surprise you to learn that I found The Lord Of The Rings trilogy incredibly punishing – and I don’t just mean the length of the movies. Regardless of this, every so often one or two fantasy films gets through to me and I can’t quite explain why. Warcraft is one such movie. Perhaps it’s because something about the fantasy movies I respond most to in a positive way, remind me of tales I heard and/or read as a child.
Warcraft (2016), Paula Patton (Garona)
I like how the story of Warcraft comes together. The characters may not be the most complex but, sometimes that’s OK, for me at least, in this instance. The pace of the movie kept me engaged and the special effects were fun. Another highlight is the way the Orcs move, particularly Toby Kebbell’s Antonidas.
Directed by Duncan Jones, the rest of the cast , namely Dominic Cooper, Ruth Negga, Ben Foster and Travis Fimmel all played their roles well. I also think that Paula Patton’s Garona is arguably her best work since Precious (2009). She may have been in better films since, but my disappointment as I tried and failed to sit through Baggage Claim (2013) is so very deep that… Have you tried to watch Baggage Claim?
I say ignore everyone that claims Warcraft can only be enjoyed and understood by fans of the game. For a good time is what I had, and the same may be for you.
Of all the Warcraft trailers that were released, this one is my favourite.
May this non-traditional ‘superhero’ movie about saving the word be as refreshingly great as this footage and dialogue suggests – plus, please let this be the best Paula Patton performance ever.
