Kevin De La Cruz Takes A Closer Look At Steven Spielberg's The Post Over the last 5 to 8 years, the films directed by Steven Spielberg have shown his growth not only as a filmmaker, but mostly as a storyteller. He has matured for the most of it as seen in War Horse (2011), Lincoln (2012), and Bridge of Spies (2015) although he has retained his childlike wonder for films such as The Adventures of Tintin (2011), The BFG (2016), and recently Ready Player One (2018). As an avid fan of Spielberg this kind of sudden change for more serious filmmaking was something I wasn’t very fond of. I wanted the old Spielberg, more blockbusters which equalled more fun. But fun not always comes from blockbusters, it can also come from a serious drama about freedom of speech and fight against injustice. I’m talking about The Post (2017). A film that when I saw it at the theater it kind of lost me along the way because I found it slow paced and uninteresting. I even fell asleep in one portion of th...

Steven Spielberg Has Brought In A Gross Total Of $10bn at the Worldwide Box Office Ready Player One has reached $475m at the worldwide box office and thanks to this number it sees Steven Spielberg directed movies pushed over the overall ten billion dollars at the worldwide box office.  This of course means that all his movies combined over the decades see Spielberg the first director to achieve this dizzying high number.  His closest rivals are Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings), James Cameron (Avatar) and Michael Bay (Transformers) who all sit around the $6bn mark. Steven Spielberg has said in a previous interview that he isn't that concerned for box office takings especially these days when it comes to his movies and doesn't look back.  'I make movies and I work a lot and I look forward all the time. I don't often look back' Spielberg said.  His recent movies such as Lincoln and The Post were made by Spielberg because he wanted to make them.  Spielberg sa...

OSCAR ® winners Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, and Tom Hanks team up for the first time in this thrilling film based on a true story.

On the latest episode of ' KUSC Interviews ' Jim Svejda interviews John Williams to discuss his amazing work and his most recent work on Star Wars: The Last Jedi and The Post.  He did hint that Episode IX will be his last for the Star Wars franchise. “We know J.J. Abrams is preparing Star Wars: Episode IX now, that I will hopefully do next year for him. I look forward to it. It will round out a series of nine. That will be quite enough for me."  He also revealed that they recorded a total of 184 minutes of music for The Last Jedi and the movie came in at 2 hours 32 minutes so I wonder if we'll ever get to hear that unreleased music?  I suspect we will. Williams talks about Carrie Fisher's performance in The Last Jedi and believes her performance in the movie was one of her best. "A great loss.  She was a very witty girl and brilliant in her writing and quick entertaining manner that she would have.  We were really unfortunate to lose her but also lu...

MonsieurHollywood.com were lucky enough to interview Steven Spielberg while the cast are on their promotion tour for The Post.  They ask the director if there was a movie he wished he directed. "I don't think so.  All the movies I've turned down, I'm happy I turned down.  I'm trying to think if there is one movie that I help develop that I was in love with and I had to turn down...because I had to make another movie, that movie would have been Rain Man."

T he Oscar nominations are in and Steven Spielberg's The Post has grabbed two nominations, one in the Best Picture category and the other for Meryl Streep in the Best Actress category.  Once again it seems the Academy overlook Steven Spielberg for best director as he misses out on a nomination. John Williams is up for an Oscar for his work on Star Wars: The Last Jedi .  That makes it 51 Oscar nominations for the maestro.  In fact The Last Jedi is sitting pretty with four nominations in total, predictably in best special effects, sound editing, sound mixing and the previously mentioned best score categories. Leading the way for nominations is The Shape of Water which picked up an impressive 13 nominations including best picture.  You can read our review of the movie here. The Nominations: Best picture Call Me By Your Name Darkest Hour Dunkirk Get Out Lady Bird Phantom Thread The Post The Shape of Water Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri...

A lot has changed since Steven Spielberg started his moviemaking career so many years ago. With computers (and their talented programmers) now able to create almost any kind of special effect imaginable, it's easy to overlook how ground-breaking some of Spielberg's pre-CGI films were. Granted, some of them -- even though they were state-of-the-art at the time -- look downright old-fashioned today, but some have stood the test of time very well. We talked to Spielberg and asked which of his film's effects have held up the best. Spielberg’s latest masterpiece, The Post, stars Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, and it's in theaters now.
