Review: Wind River (2017)

Elisabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner Director/Screenwriter: Taylor Sheridan Starring: Jeremy Renner, Elisabeth Olsen, Gil Birmingham, Graham Greene, Kelsey Asbille MPAA Rating: Rated R for strong violence, a rape, disturbing images, and language Genres: Drama, Mystery & Suspense Theatrical Release Date: August 4, 2017 On DVD/Streaming: November 14, 2017 Rotten Tomatoes Score : 87%   Clip: "She Ran Further" Wind River is not an easy watch, to say the least.  But it's almost essential viewing; it shows us [the audience] a part of the country with which we may have previously been unfamiliar.  I, for one, knew little to nothing about Native American life in Wyoming.  The brisk, brutal, snowy landscape easily matches the tone of the story and the mystery at its center.  From the opening sequence, which shows a distraught young woman running barefoot on the cold snow, we have an idea as to where the story will take us.  And, for the m...

Review: Tomb Raider

Daniel Wu and Alicia Vikander Director: Roar Uthaug Screenwriters: Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Alastair Siddons Starring: Alicia Vikander, Walton Goggins, Dominic West, Daniel Wu, Kristin Scott Thomas MPAA Rating: Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and some language Genres: Action, Adventure Theatrical Release Date: March 16, 2018 Rotten Tomatoes Score : 50%   Clip: "Waterfall" Tomb Raider  is much better than it has any reason to be.  Not that it needed to be bad, but with the plethora of remakes and reboots as of late, it is easy to have low expectations for the majority of them.  Director Roar Uthaug's Tomb Raider is definitely more of a reboot than a remake, as it is a far cry from the poorly-made Angelina Jolie-starring Lara Croft movies (of which there are two).  Jolie's Croft was certainly slick, but the focus seemed to be more on her sex appeal than anything else.  Tom Raider , however,  Is more about Croft’s br...

Movie Review: Anna Karenina

Keira Knightley Director: Joe Wright Stars: Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Kelly Macdonald Genre(s): Drama; Romance Release Date: September 7, 2012 Rotten Tomatoes Score: 62% Keira Knightley certainly has changed since her Oscar-nominated role in Pride and Prejudice , and in the past eight years she has starred in terrible movies, terrific movies, and everything in-between.  She is still undeniably gorgeous and talented, yet perhaps her poised British grandeur has lost its effect.  It is, therefore, not surprising that she was given the title role in Anna Karenina , her latest film with frequent collaborator, director Joe Weight; she has a knack for playing historical -- both true and fictionalized -- women from years past.  As it turns out, that knack does nothing to elevate Wright's disappointing version of Tolstoy's classic romance novel.  Anna Karenina takes place during the 19th century, and Knightley plays a young mother who is ...
