Cinematic Releases: Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021) - Reviewed

Posted By themoviesleuth 1069 days ago on Entertainment

http://www.spoilerfreemoviesleuth.com -  After his sleeper hit directorial debut Wind River alongside an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay with Hell or High Water, Taylor Sheridan has proven himself to be at the forefront of a new emergence of neo-western moviemakers.  His latest effort Those Who Wish Me Dead, released simultaneously in theaters and HBO Max, continues in that genre but moves the setting deeper into woodsy terrain, making for a tense, predictable but nonetheless satisfying action suspense vehicle.   Based on the novel by Michael Kortya co-written for the screen by Kortya and producer-director Sheridan, the film follows in the footsteps of Peter Weir’s Witness involving a child who witnesses a murder before going on the run from two assassins who hunt for him in the Montana

New Releases: Jakob's Wife (2021) - Reviewed

Posted By themoviesleuth 1107 days ago on Entertainment

http://www.spoilerfreemoviesleuth.com -  The complexities of marriage are often explored in cinema.  Beyond the traditional struggles that relationships endear, a subgenre involves the loss of identity and freedom that is often experienced in certain relationships.  As we age, notions of the past become ghosts, haunting the subconscious with what could have been.  It is only fitting that Travis Steven's neo-vampire story stars a pair of horror icons whose filmographies are part of the foundation of modern independent American horror films.  Featuring a darkly humorous script, an unforgettable duo of lead performances, and a wealth of entrancing visuals, Jakob's Wife is the first legitimate horror experience of the year.  Anne, the subdued wife of a milquetoast preacher, is bitten by a vam

http://www.spoilerfreemoviesleuth.com -  Photo Courtesy of NetflixFrom the opening production credits of The Mitchells vs. The Machines it is apparent that you are about to witness something special, innovative, and heartfelt. What starts with little pops and flashes of bright 2D animation transforms the Columbia Pictures logo into a stunning collage of nonsensical characters. The action picks up immediately as we are introduced to the Mitchell family on the run from a swarm of robots. This exciting intro immediately sets the tone for the perilous yet charming adventure the Mitchells find themselves on. The Mitchell family consists of incoming college freshman, Katie (Abbi Jackson), her dinosaur obsessed younger brother, Aaron (Michael Rianda), her loving and protective mother, Linda (Maya Rudolph), and her outdoorsy,

http://www.spoilerfreemoviesleuth.com -  Icily precise French master filmmaker Jean-Pierre Melville all but perfected the black-and-white crime thriller with such gangster epics as Bob Le Flambeur and Le Doulos under his belt well before he arrived upon one of his most overlooked heist thrillers to date with Le Deuxième Souffle.  Released domestically under such titles as Second Breath or Second Wind, the vast yet intimate French crime epic stars Lino Ventura as prison escapee Gu who goes into hiding while being lured into one final heist job.  On his tail is Inspector Blot (Paul Meurisse) and the stage is set for one of the director’s most elegantly constructed heist sequences of his already exceptional career.  Though much of it takes place within closed quarters save for the film’s astonishing heist

http://www.spoilerfreemoviesleuth.com - Courtesy of VCI Entertainment Just four years after making his ornate and still shocking giallo The Bloodstained Butterfly, Duccio Tessari dabbled in and out of the spaghetti western subgenre and the noir genre again before once more returning to giallo in 1974 with Puzzle, an ensemble thriller involving amnesia, drug trade, double crossing and brutal murder.  Co-written by Tessari, the film prominently features Luc Merenda from Sergio Martino’s giallo classic Torso as an Italian man trapped in London stricken with amnesia.  But after a mystery man in black named Philip (Manfred Freyberger) starts following him, it becomes clear he and his wife Sara (Senta Berger) are in danger due to missing drugs and longstanding overdue debts. Courtesy of VCI Entertainment Like

Doom: Annihilation Is The Most Fun Video Game Movie You Probably Didn't See

Posted By themoviesleuth 1159 days ago on Entertainment

http://www.spoilerfreemoviesleuth.com - image courtesy Universal PicturesWe live in an era when nostalgia is all the rage, seemingly every franchise is getting a high-profile movie reboot, and after about a decade of lying dormant, Doom is once again alive and well as a current fan-favorite series. It seems like the obvious choice for a big-budget, big-screen rebooted Doom movie to come out right about now, to go with the Mortal Kombatreboot coming to theaters and HBO Max this April, and the Resident Evil reboot that is right around the corner. But for some reason, that's not what Universal Studios was interested in doing – instead, a bit over a year ago, at what would seem like the height of the revived video game franchise's resurgence, they chose to quietly slip a low-budget, direct-to-VOD Doom reboot out into the world with
