War Dogs
Directed By: Todd Phillips
Starring: Jonah Hill, Miles Teller, Ana de Armas, J. B. Blanc, Bradley Cooper, Barry Livingston, and Kevin Pollak
I have been in an odd mood as a moviegoer over the last few weeks. I think the disappointing end to the summer movie season has left me in a rather sour disposition about the latest offerings at the box office. I genuinely was not looking forward to War Dogs despite the fact that it's starring two of the premier talents of the last several years....

Joy
Directed By: David O. Russell
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Édgar Ramírez, Diane Ladd, Virginia Madsen, Isabella Rossellini, Dascha Polanco, and Bradley Cooper

American Hustle
Directed By: David O. Russell
Starring: Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence, Louis C.K., Michael Peña, and Robert De Niro
Director David O. Russell has a way of making authentically American films that's undeniable. Just look at his two most recent films, The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook.

I am a big advocate of filmmakers who take creative risks. Many are so afraid of crashing and burning that they don't think or do anything outside the box, particularly in main... Continue reading ...
