The Post Starring Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk, Bruce Greenwood, Carrie Coon, Alison Bire, David Cross Written by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer Directed by Steven Spielberg Out of Four Reviewed by Paul Gibbs I don't write for a Spielberg related site because i don't like his films, so it's no surprise for me to give his latest award-winning drama a rave. However, even coming from my favorite director, The Post is something special. Remarkably timely and yet also timeless, this is one of the best of Spielberg's new wave of actor/character related films, and it's my choice as the best and most important film of 2017. The superb ensemble cast is justifiably getting most of the accolades, but it's a mistake to think in any way that this isn't a director's film. Spielberg's gifts for pacing and storytelling fluidity have rarely been better used. Meryl Streep as Kay Graham. (Image Courtesy 20th Century F...

by Patrick & Paul Gibbs WARNING: This article contains spoilers about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. If you haven't seen this film, you probably don't want to read this. "Nothing counts so much as blood." This line was spoken by Gene Hackman in Lawrence Kasdan's 1994 western Wyatt Earp , as he tried to teach his family to stay together, but it could have easily appled to pretty much any fantasy story you can name. "Yer a wizard, Harry, and a thumpin' good one I'd wager, once yer trained up a bit, o' course." Rubeus Hagrid speaks this line to Harry Potter, reckoning that as the only son of James and Lily Potter, it goes without saying that Harry must be great. Granted, he's also The Boy Who Lived, and J.K. Rowling has come right out and said that Neville Longbottom could have also fulfilled the prophecy about the boy who would defeat "He Who Must Not be Named". But the fact remains that he didn't. No, it was Harr...

Originally posted in 2015.  Reposting as 2017 marked 30 years since the passing of Richard Marquand Richard Marquand, the director of Return of the Jedi, was born in Cardiff, Wales which is just down the road from where I live.  It may be because of this that I have a fondness for the Welshman but another reason may be the need to get the recognition out there for the talented director's work on Jedi. It's often said by fans that George Lucas really directed Return of the Jedi and at times Marquand was out of his league.  Well let's look at the evidence and see if that statement is really true. What had Marquand directed up to Return of the Jedi to catch the eye of George Lucas?  Well Marquand's directing career began in TV with Edward II way back in 1970 and a couple of episodes of a TV mini-series called The Search For The Nile.  Marquand's first feature film came in 1979, a horror film called The Legacy starring Katharine Ross and Sam Elliot.  ...

JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE Starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Bobby Cannavale Based on Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg Screenplay by Chris McKenna, Eric Sommers, Jake Kasdan, Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner Directed by Jake Kasdan Out of Four Joe Johnston's 1995 fantasy Jumanji was a pleasant surprise for that holds a great deal of setimental value, so when we heard that a remake was in developement, we weren't excited. Plain and simple, remaking a Robin Williams movie is one of the worst things Hollywood can do this decade, and while he can be fun in the right role, Dwayne Johnson is no Robin Williams. And when we heard the premise: A group of teenagers get sucked into a role-playing video game version in the bodies of their characters, we were torn between disappointment that it would ruin the similar screenplay we wrote 9 years ago for a Dungeons & Dragons based comedy/fantasy, and the fact that clearly w...
