Willem Dafoe Joins the ‘Justice League’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
Willem Dafoe joins the small group of actors to portray both Marvel and DC characters. Dafoe played the Green Goblin in Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man‘ films, and now the actor is joining the ‘Justice League‘ on the superhero side of things, rather than a villain.

Hey guys, Jana here,
It looks like Legendary East, the Chinese branch of Legendary Entertainment is finally moving forward in a project they’ve been eager to get to when the company hung out its shingle 2 years ago. ‘The Great Wall‘ is set in 15th century China revolving around an elite force of British warriors who come across the quickened construction of the giant wall. Soon enough the soldiers learn that a wall isn’t only to keep out the Mongols, but will be the setting of a last stand against mythical creatures who are more dangerous with how inhuman they are.
Willem Dafoe To Play Pier Paolo Pasolini In Biopic Directed By Abel Ferrara!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
We’ve known about the possibility of this project for a while, but it seems that the gears are moving full force now and we will finally be getting a biopic movie based on director’s Pier Paolo Pasolini life with Willem Dafoe playing Pasolini. The project is being helmed by Abel Ferrara, who made ‘Bad Lieutenant‘ and ‘King of New York‘. Ferrara is currently wrapping up his latest project titled ‘Welcome to New York‘, which is based on the Dominique Strauss-Kahn sex scandal.
THE LIGHTHOUSE – Film Review!
In the most intense “Odd Couple” story-line, packed with phenomenal performances and a thick 1890’s New England dialect drowning in that ocean juice called rum, Willem Dafoe plays a salty keeper of a lighthouse where a new young man (Robert Pattison) is instructed to help out with the grunt work for a long four weeks together in ‘The Lighthouse‘. From writer-director Robert Eggers (The VVitch), comes this darkly comedic tale of two strangers, forced to live and work with one another in claustrophobic quarters, where alcohol takes over their sanity as creatures and storms start to rear their ugly heads.

Dan’s 2018 Oscar Picks!
Here are my Oscar Predictions. I haven’t seen many of the shorts or documentaries so I didn’t even bother with those, but I have seen everything else that is nominated for the big categories except Call me by Your Name. Also, I fell asleep during The Post, but so did everyone.
As a hard and fast rule, I refuse to recognize any recent best picture winners until a movie comes along that was better on every single filmmaking level than Mad Max: Fury Road. This year is no different, so congrats to Fury Road.
Film Review: ‘Florida Project’!
The Florida Project is the most important movie of 2017. It is a beautiful look at the resiliency and hope of childhood. It is also the most powerful depiction of a segment of the American population often overlooked in America and certainly passed over in film. Not outright poverty but just a group of people doing enough to survive.
Enjoy the Trailer For ‘The Florida Project’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
From A24, and writer/director Sean Baker (‘Tangerine‘), and co-writer Chris Bergoch (‘Starlet‘), comes a warm, winning and gloriously alive, deeply moving and unforgettably poignant look at childhood. Starring newcomers Brooklynn Prince and Bria Vinaite, Willem Dafoe (‘Platoon‘), Caleb Landry Jones (‘X-Men: First Class‘), Macon Blair (‘Green Room‘), and Karren Karagulian (‘Tangerine‘).

Film Review: ‘The Great Wall’!
Fernando M., here….
This is a bad year for walls. ‘The Great Wall‘ easily wins the “biggest misnomer of the year” award. Should have gone with the title “This Wall, It’s OK I Guess.” What the hell went wrong with this picture? The setup is great, which is “We use the Great Wall of China as a backdrop for a fantasy film about monsters.” There’s a parable about monsters and greed and containment and human evil, but really, it’s all about monsters attacking the Great Wall of China. On this premise alone, it sounds like a lot of fun, and it really could have been.
Patrick Wilson Is Going Underwater For Role In ‘Aquaman’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Progress on ‘Aquaman‘ is swimming along prepping for a fall of 2018 release, and with that progress, there is some casting news to let you in on. We know that Jason Momoa will, ummm, scale up? to become the King of Atlantis, and Amber Heard will take on the mantle of Mera, the object of Aquaman’s desires and that Willem Dafoe will transform into Nuidis Vulko, the scientist that plays a very important role in many of the Aquaman story-lines. We can now add to this list, Patrick Wilson who will take on the character Orm (Ocean Master), Aquaman’s half-brother and he’s not such a nice guy, using any means within his reach to try and take over the throne of Atlantis and has been causing problems since 1966.

Top 10 List of War Movies B.A.S. (Before ‘American Sniper’)!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
In the world of film, there are specific genres that stand out for me and one of those is war movies. I love different titles for a variety of reasons, the story, or even an actor, in this category there is one primary theme that ties each film together – heroes. Their outstanding courage is what gives us that lump in our throats and a swell of patriotic pride that causes us to lift these characters, real or imagined, to elevated heights. It takes a special kind of person to be a hero, I know I couldn’t do it, but I am eternally grateful for the men and women that take up that mantle and defend the lives and freedoms I hold so dearly.
