Movie Review: #ELVISANDNIXON Hilarious!

RAMA delivers another great review. Hilarious! Who would’ve thought that a movie could be built around one of the most famous photographs ever?! I genuinely love everything about ELVIS & NIXON , not only because I’ve been a longtime fan of Elvis Presley, ever since my Dad introduced me to his music when I was a kid, but also because this is one absolutely hilarious film, the comedy just hits the mark one after the other, it’s laugh out loud funny. ELVIS & NIXON, directed by Liza Johnson, is essentially the story of how the King of Rock n’ Roll literally met the world’s most powerful man, President Nixon at the White House. I know the first thing that comes to your mind when you watch the trailer probably the fact that Michael Shannon doesn’t look like Elvis and Kevin Spacey doesn’t look like Nixon, but what those two great actors did in this film is not impersonation, they managed to capture the essence of the characters as written or created in the script. So this is

#AllThingsMustPass Documentary About The Legacy Of @TowerRecordsDoc Earns Standing Ovation At #SXSW

A documentary about the legacy of Tower Records , the retail store that dominated for decades before filing for bankruptcy in 2006, earned a standing ovation Tuesday at the South by Southwest festival. " All Things Must Pass " had its world premiere at the ZACH Theatre in Austin, Texas. It explores the rise and fall of Tower Records, which launched in 1960 in a Sacramento drugstore and eventually opened 200 stores in 30 countries. In 1999, it made $1 billion. Colin Hanks, the Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated actor, directed the documentary, which is his first feature. He spent seven years working on the film and said he decided to make it because of his love for music. "No one else had done it. No one else was doing it," said Hanks, who grew up in Sacramento. "I'm a big music fanatic." Hanks launched a Kickstarter campaign in 2011 and raised $92,000 to fund the documentary. View galleryFILE - In this Jan. 11, 2015 file photo, Colin Hanks 

Colin Hanks & Alex Pettyfer Join Elvis & Nixon

Colin Hanks, Alex Pettyfer, Johnny Knoxville, Tracy Letts and singer Sky Ferreira have joined Elvis & Nixon, the true story drama that has begun shooting in Atlanta. The indie sees Michael Shannon as Elvis, embarking on a trip to Washington D.C. to meet President Richard Nixon, being played by Kevin Spacey . Liza Johnson is directing the movie that also has Evan Peters (X-Men: Days of Future Past) in its supporting cast. The movie tells of the infamous Dec. 21, 1970, meeting between Presley and Nixon, both men at the height of their power in their respective fields. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon an urgent six-page letter requesting a visit and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Pettyfer is playing Jerry Schilling, Elvis’ best friend who accompanies the singer to DC. Hanks is playing Nixon's aide Egil Krogh. Knoxville is playing another member of the Memphis mafia wh

TV Review: Fargo “Morton’s Fork” By: Brandon Wolfe

TV Review: Fargo “Morton’s Fork” By: Brandon Wolfe Malvo on the loose is what ‘Fargo’ boils down to in its final hour. His resurgence sends a shockwave of fear through the entire town of Bemidji. Like Michael Myers in the ‘Halloween’ movies, he’s an unstoppable killing machine set loose on a small town that isn’t prepared to deal with things like him. All that’s missing is for Donald Pleasance to pop up and frantically tell Molly and Gus that evil has descended upon them. But Malvo’s return also means that old scores must be settled. While some, like the front desk clerk at the police station, are petrified that he’ll pop up out of the ether at a moment’s notice, there are others that have unfinished business with this monster that they set out to tie off. That Malvo does get taken down is not a huge surprise, I suppose. He is the show’s central villain, after all, and this is the finale. It is, however, a mild surprise that he CAN be taken down. He has seemed so otherworl

TV Review: Fargo “A Fox, a Rabbit & A Cabbage” By: Brandon Wolfe

TV Review: Fargo “A Fox, a Rabbit & A Cabbage” By: Brandon Wolfe We open in a dentist’s office where the dentist is a chatty, folksy sort. He tells long-winded stories and is full of good cheer. Then we follow this good ol’ boy back to his home to learn that he’s newly engaged to an attractive, adoring wife and has a decent assemblage of friends who think the world of him. This fellow is also prone to cornily exclaiming “Aces!” as an expression of approval. It’s almost a relief when we finally see this man sitting in a dark room listening to a self-made recording of a conversation between himself and another Lester-like schlep whose life he ruined by intervention because it allows our brains to officially register that this affable tooth wrangler is indeed Lorne Malvo. Our DVRs didn’t mistakenly record some obscure movie where Billy Bob Thornton played a friendly dentist; this is still ‘Fargo’. It’s on a trip to Vegas with his new friends (one of whom is played by the great

TV Review: Fargo “The Heap” By: Brandon Wolfe

TV Review: Fargo “The Heap” By: Brandon Wolfe The time jump has become an increasingly popular trope for television shows to play around with, and it’s not difficult to see why. It basically affords a series the opportunity for a mid-course reboot, a way to shake off the staleness and bring in the new without scrapping everything or glacially building toward eventual change. By leaping forward in time, a familiar world suddenly becomes a strange new land where all bets are off, where all your favorite characters that you know so well now require catching up on. Shows usually pull this rabbit out of their hat for a season-finale cliffhanger, as NBC’s ‘Parks and Recreation’ did recently with its three-year fast-forward. That or they will introduce a shift in time between seasons, as ‘24’ always did. But ‘Fargo’ likes to go its own way, so when it drops a full-year leap ahead into its narrative, it does so halfway through the eighth episode of the season. Way to keep us on our toes.

TV Review: Fargo “Who Shaves the Barber?”

TV Review: Fargo “Who Shaves the Barber?” By: Brandon Wolfe With only stray exceptions ( ‘M*A*S*H’, ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ ), TV shows based on films tend to be dire prospects, inspiration-bereft cash-grabs trading on name recognition and far too beholden to their source material to walk on their own two feet. The thought process often seems to be that since a popular film has already laid the groundwork for the story and characters, all a television adaptation needs to do is plug cheaper actors into the roles and churn out slightly varying permutations of the established premise. The rare successful dips into this well, like NBC’s ‘ Hannibal ’, merely take components from the films in the service of building their own unique world around them. FX’s ‘ Fargo ’ falls into this latter category. In fact, it goes one step further. It only borrows the title, setting, humor and sensibility from its parent film, not any of its characters or events. While the characters and situations

HIGH School Trailer

HIGH School Trailer First off I would consider this to be a Red-band trailer with all the F bombs that they let off during the trailer.  So you have been warned.  HIGH School debuted The Sundance Film Festival. And wouldn't you know it, they released the trailer on 4:20.  How ironic since the premise of the film surrounds marijuana. The trailer give you a hit of what the movie is about without giving to much away. The film was directed by John Stalberg, and stars Adrien Brody, Michael Chiklis, Colin Hanks, Sean Marqutte, and Matt Burke. Synopsis: So it’s the end of the school year, and smarmy Principal Gordon (Michael Chiklis) has suddenly instituted a zero-tolerance crusade against his nemesis, the reviled marijuana. A mandatory drug test for all students is to be administered, failure of which will result in immediate expulsion. Normally, this would be of no consequence to straight-arrow valedictorian Henry Burke, except he just tried ganja for the very first time. W
