Oblivion review at MarcWinger.com
Oblivion, with Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Andrea Riseborough & Olga Kurylenko. Director, Joseph Kosinski. Perhaps Cruise had to prove that he still had his mojo, after his ex-wife made a spectacle last year of fleeing their marriage. He is definitely a Continue reading
G.I. Joe: Retaliation review, MarcWinger.com
G.I. Joe: Retaliation, with Dwayne Johnson, Jonathan Pryce, Byung-hun Lee, Bruce Willis & Channing Tatum. Jon M. Chu, Director. Not seeing any of these, if there was a previous motion picture, or being a fan of the comics or anything to do with this franchise; my two draws to this film were Johnson & the fact that Continue reading
Scavengers review at MarcWinger.com
Scavengers (no website for this film & the only trailer I could find was in German), with Roark Critchlow, John Lee Ames & Jeremy London. Director, Travis Zariwny.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, with Steve Carell & Keira Knightley. Director, Lorene Scafaria. One of the best dead-pan actors, is usually one of my favorites, but this pointless atrocity fell flat on its face. I would have thought that there would have been at least a couple of laughs in this film, but no. It was not to be.
Cloud Atlas, with Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo Weaving, Doona Bae & Jim Sturgess. Directors, Tom Tykwer, Andy Wachowski & Lana Wachowski. Last year, I was calling for more new scripts from the universe of science fiction material. Not a prophet of these things obviously, because there are all sorts of fantastic new concepts coming out, in the film world. This was an interesting entry, to say the least. Continue reading
