This Week In Movies: ‘The Belko Experiment,’ ‘Beauty & The Beast,’ ‘Betting On Zero’

03.13.2017 | By |

It’s the middle of March and so far, 2017 has offered some terrific fare such as Get Out and Logan. But this week, the quality isn’t as robust as previous weeks. The stellar films to see this week are The Belko Experiment, BlueBeard and Betting Zero. One has a very thrilling ride of a concept that includes Bogotá, Colombia, the other, a Korean thriller that looks fascinating, and the last, a superlative work on investigative journalism that is sure to gouge the eyes of Herbalife. Enjoy the trailers and Listen to our podcast for our in-depth reviews of this week’s releases and more.  Read More

The Complete 2017 Oscar Nominations List

01.24.2017 | By |

2016 really began presenting its best movies in August, I know, a weird month to exhibit great work, but it brought us delightful films such as Florence Foster Jenkins, Hell or High Water and Kubo and the Two Strings amongst others. All three movies have been nominated for Oscars. Damien Chazelles’s La La Land though, tied the record for most nominations in Academy history with 14 nods tying James Cameron’s Titanic and Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s classic All About Eve from 1950. These nominations also denote the diverse work of new filmmakers who introduced new faces and bold stories to a changing America. Check out the list!

The Most Anticipated Movies and TV Shows Of 2017

01.2.2017 | By |

It is the first Monday of 2017 and I got the chance to be on the TODAY show this morning, the same show Katie Couric co-hosted this week. Alas, I didn’t get a chance to see her, but awesome to know I was feet away from her. This is also my second New Year’s Day segment in a row. Last year we pre-taped, but this morning was live. I discussed the ‘Most Anticipated Movies and TV Shows of 2017’. Check out my personal picks for this year! Read More

Episode 15 – A Discussion on the 3 Best Movies of 2016
French director Dennis Villeneuve is easily top 5 best directors in Hollywood right now. His existential sci-fi drama about the perception of time, is unlike any sci-fi film you will see in the new Millenium. It’s profound, thought provoking, intelligent and stylish. Amy Adams delivers an emotionally layered performance that should earn her an Oscar nomination. If you like cerebral, puzzling sci-fi dramas, ‘Arrival’ is the film for you.

Jack Rico’s Top 10 Movies Of 2016
Chilean director Pablo Larraín is somewhat of a filmmaking savant. Of the few films he’s made, they are all already acclaimed. But with ‘Neruda,’ he brings us the best work he’s done so far as a director. Brilliantly acted by Luis Gnocco as the Nobel-prize winning diplomat-poet Pablo Neruda, Larraín gives us a mythical figure of Latin America’s literature sheathed with a European sensibility. With touches of magical realism and black comedy, ‘Neruda’ is a wondrous, rich tale of one of the most enigmatic artists of the 20th century.

Jack Rico’s Top 10 Movies Of 2016

12.29.2016 | By |

 

It’s hard to look back at 2016 and not think how tragic it was to lose our beloved artistic icons. But when it comes to motion pictures, there were a couple of silver linings one can sanguinely lean on as bright spots. Though this was by far the year of superheroes and animated films, it was also the year where we witnessed the Golden Age of African-American storytelling. With remarkable films such as Moonlight, Hidden Figures, Fences, Birth of a Nation, Kicks, Loving, 13th and I Am Not Your Negro in theaters, the outlook for black cinema finally looks hopeful. Women and multiculturalism were also front and center on screen and behind the scenes and no film was more demonstrative of those attributes than Rogue One. Movies, in general, impact people differently and I believe the Top 10 Movies I have selected above not only reflect those qualities but provide the standard of excellence in cinema this year.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Movie Review)

12.13.2016 | By |

The 1-4-0: RogueOne: A Star Wars Story is not a better film experience than #TheForceAwakens, but it is a solid sci-fi, action film that provides high entertainment value and some nostalgic “cameos” for old-school fans. Read More
