If you have a Netflix subscription, you have to watch this incredible movie about a girl and her super pig, starring Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Warning: you might immediately start crying as soon as you watch the trailer above. Stronger, the second feature film about the Boston Marathon bombing looks to be as much of a tearjerker as Peter Berg’s Patriot’s Day – an unavoidable thing for a topic this devastating, not to mention one still (and maybe too?) recent.
While Life may sometimes seem like a loving collaboration of used parts — a dash of Alien, a dollop of Gravity, a pinch of every ’90s monster movie your parents still have on VHS in their attic — there is one element of the movie that is Life and Life’s alone: that ending. If you haven’t seen the film yet, now would be a good time to stop reading, because we’re going to get into the nuts and bolts of what made that Life ending work.
This is one of those weeks where I am really torn about seeing one of these movies in the theater. I am a huge fan of the lead character, so I will have to see what Willie thinks of it first.
When actors transform for a role, we take notice (and most of the time, so does that little golden statue named Oscar). Christian Bale in ‘The Machinist,’ Matthew McConaughey in ‘Dallas Buyers Club,’ Charlize Theron in ‘Monster,’ Christian Bale in the ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy, etc. Jake Gyllenhaal recently joined the club when he dropped 25 pounds to play the sociopathic Lou Bloom in ‘Nightcrawler,’ and now he’s at it again with his incredible transformation for his next film, Antoine Fuqua’s ‘Southpaw.’
Easter came a bit early at the movies this weekend, thanks to the live-action/animated movie Hop.
The film, which features the voice talent of comedian Russell Brand, vastly exceeded expectations at the box office with an impressive $38. 2 million, marking the highest weekend debut of the year.
Coming this weekend to Twin Ports movie theatres is an action movie staring Jake Gyllenhaal and an animated Easter movie the whole family will love. See the trailers and get showtimes after the break.
