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.

Christmas is here and instead of repeating a show, why not give you an original episode based upon 3 marvelous films.

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.

Highly Relevant Podcast: Fake News, Rogue One, Golden Globes Nominations

12.18.2016 | By |

This week on the Highly Relevant podcast, we’re reintroducing some pop culture elements back into the show, but we’re keeping politics because Donald Trump has blurred the lines between the affairs of the state and entertainment. No one seems to know what’s what anymore? Regardless, many things have happened in entertainment this week such as the Golden Globes/SAG/Grammy nominations as well as the arrival of “Star Wars: Rogue One” in theaters. Read More

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

The New ‘Spider-Man Homecoming’ Trailer Is Here!

12.9.2016 | By |

I’m glad Spider-Man is coming back to the screen with Marvel Studios behind it. It’s what every superhero fan always wanted, but there are some slight problems I can’t get passed. One, the suit. Doesn’t it look cheap to you? Two, this storyline really takes Spidey and Peter Parker to the stone age. He “is not ready to save the world yet.” You can’t wind the character that far back after giving us so many Spidey films since the last  14 years. Hopefully this is the version everyone sticks with.  Read More
