We’re a little more than half-way through March and this week’s movies offer a little somehting for everyone. One which has captivated my attention is Ethan Hawke’s Born To Be Blue, a jazz film about Chet Baker, arguably the most popular trumpeter after Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. I had met with Hawke last year and he showed me several pics of the production and we discussed favorite albums plus his legacy. Also, we should address the armored bat in the room – Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This is the most anticipated film of 2016. The reason it is more anticipated than Captain America: Civil War, is the tremendous pressure and risk behind the success of WB and DC’s franchise set-up film. Read More

Spidey’s appearance has easily catapulted Marvel’s ‘Captain America: Civil War‘ as the most anticipated film of 2016 over WB’s ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ film. Read More

We are close to the end of February and most of the films up until now have been mediocre – except Deadpool – at best. We can begin to detect a pulse this week with films such as Triple 9 and the Crouching Tiger sequel. Things will definitely start ramping up in March, post Oscars. In the meantime, there are 7 films being released this week that offer a dose of fun, laughs and high interest much like King Georges, a doc about the end of an iconic restaurant. Read More
