Sydney Sweeney Talks Her New Film And Becoming Boxing Legend Christy Martin

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By: Dominic La-Viola

 “Every single fight that you see is the exact same fight that she had in the ring. So every combination, everything you see is real life. So it was not only just learning how to box — I had to memorize her exact movements in every single fight.”

This is one of the quotes from an interview with Sydney Sweeney, from the Hollywood Reporter about her new film “Christy,” the boxing biopic, where she plays the legendary female boxer Christy Martin. 

The film hit the festivals earlier this year, and from what critics and audience members are saying about the film, it has been positive. 

The film is going to be released in theaters this November, which is coming up, and could explain all the press tours and why Sweeney is promoting her new film. 

Although I can’t help but think, is this also a press tour to promote the film to Oscar voters?  The style and subject matter of the film check 2 boxes of what has been an Oscar favorite in past years. Bio pics and boxing films. 

“Rocky” and “Million Dollar Baby” are the first two that come to mind when I think of Oscars and boxing .  

Then, of course, in recent years, Rami Malek won the Oscar for Best Performance for his role in “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Which points us in the direction that “Christy” could very much be the film that gets Sydney Sweeney her first Oscar nomination.

Now, in the interview, nothing was mentioned of such; the actress simply talked about coming across the script and wanting to not only do the part but be a part of the film in some way. She knew this film was going to be special. 

Which is why she opted to come onto the project as a producer. 

She then went on to talk about how she wants to do roles that challenge her and make people question the roles she’s taking . “Sydney Sweeney is doing that?” 

Something that is not only a good career move to stay out of getting type casted. But it’s also a great way to demonstrate her range as an actor and even earn some awards along the way. 

Sweeny, followed in the footsteps of some of the best actors working today, went through an entire transformation in order to get ready for this role.

She gained 30 pounds of muscle and trained extensively to have the physique needed to play the role of the female boxer, Christy Martin. Not only did she train and learn how to box. Sweeny, Sweeny actually memorized every one of her fights. To recreate them as they were. 

Taking method acting, training, and becoming the role to a whole other level. Not only became the character but completely reconstructed someone’s life before our eyes. 

“Christy” is coming to theaters on November 7th, and I, for one, am beyond excited to see Sydney Sweeny in what could very much be a career-changing performance.

No Movie Is Safe : American Psycho Gets A Remake, Margot Robbie Rumored To Be New Patrick Bateman

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By :Dominic La-Viola

The Sun reported that an unnamed insider close to the project claimed that “A remake of American Psycho is in the works, and Margot is in talks to play a female version of Patrick Bateman.” The source added, ” The novel and the film were so controversial, and the people working on the remake wanted to twist the narrative by having a female actress take on the lead role of Bateman.”

Now, with all due respect, Margot Robbie is a fantastic actress, and I believe she would kill as a psychotic serial killer. Whose alter ego is a VP of a major corporation.

However, what is the thought process behind having yet another remake of a film that’s not only still relatively new? In comparison, it’s not as bad as the superhero films being remade. Although still not something that I feel we really need. More remakes of.

At this time, no one has confirmed that Margot Robbie is attached to the project. It has been said that this remake has been in the works for some time. That Patrick Schwarzenegger and Austin Butler were previously “tied” to the role. 

That this newest casting inquiry might just be a rumor, although director Luca Guadagnino (“Challengers” and “After The Hunt”) is going to be directing the remake and has teased a full reimagining of the source material.

With that being said, if they are going to remake the film, I’d say make Margot Robbie the lead. Out of the three of them, I think she would be the most interesting choice. Not to mention they could then set it in the late 2000s to the mid-2010s instead of the 80s. 

Giving the film a new feel and tone, capturing the time frame in which,  according to Google and Google’s AI search, was the prime time when women executives were on the rise. “2010s-2020s: The conversation shifted towards actively making the workplace more equitable. This era saw increased focus on diversity and inclusion initiatives, flexible work arrangements, and the promotion of women to senior management roles.”

Making that time frame the perfect setting for a female version of Patrick Bateman and “American Psycho” for the novel and the movie was about the alternative reality that people in New York and that industry lived in. 

It was about delusion and their disconnect from reality and the world around them. The materialist subculture. A world of self-absorbed, narcissistic people. 

A film in which the main character was now a female, trying to climb the corporate ladder, to get to the next promotion. Would give the film a different look and feel.  If done correctly, it could play less of a remake and more of its own thing. 

For as much as the film was focused on materialistic things, it was also very much about status and power. Something that from a woman’s perspective and point of view would change the trajectory of the story, given their repression and lack of representation in previous decades such as the 70s and 80s. 

We’ve seen something of the female version of Bateman in “American Psycho 2,” although that was a different style of film. More of a forced sequel than a re-invisioning of the source material.  

Blue Moon : Movie Review – Richard Linklater Proves Once Again Why He’s A Master Of Storytelling

By: Dominic La-Viola

In Linklater’s newest directorial effort, comes Blue Moon. Telling the story of Lorenz Hart’s struggles with alcoholism and mental health as he tries to save face during the opening of “Oklahoma!”. All while giving us a glimpse into his life and life’s work. 

Richard Linklater has proven once more why he is a master of storytelling. Composing an entire film over the course of 100 minutes. All taking place in one setting. While never losing the audience’s focus. 

Which might sound minuscule to some; however, to the contrary, being able to tell an entire story in a single setting arguably is one of the most challenging tasks. With the exception of action films like “Die Hard” and “The Raid,” for the action is what moves the story. 

The dialogue and performances, of course, are the driving factors of a film of this nature. Yet Linklater takes it a step further. Integrating the score and the cinematography to play as much of an important role. 

Given the fact that the movie is about a famous songwriter, one who specialized in writing songs for musicals. The score is subtle yet captivating.

The cinematography has a similar effect, using subtle yet effective techniques to not only enhance the story’s emotional impact but also allow the film to feel less stiff. By simply not just having the camera in a stationary position the entire time. Which is a detail a director with less range probably would have done. 

As much as Robert Kaplan has to be credited for his screenplay, for its fantastic dialog. Which without it, the film simply wouldn’t work. Ethan Hawke’s performance really is the backbone of this film. 

For the first hour or so of this movie, Ethan Hawke is sitting at this bar talking to the bartender and the piano player, telling about this girl. A girl that he’s desperately in love with. A 20-year-old from Yale. 

Which is the major focus of the film, in its entirety? This being the night of the opening of “Oklahoma!”, is merely the backdrop. Everything that happens in the film is due to his dying love for this 20-year-old female Yale student, played by  Margaret Qualley. Who also gives  a phenomenal performance. 

Although the story is not what one might think. For from the opening of the film, we learn that he’s not necessarily gay, but he historically prefers men over women, as far as sexual activity is concerned. 

The dialog and even some of the jokes make it as if his sexuality was very well known and he was rather open about being a homosexual. Although given the time in which the events took place, I do think that detail might have been a bit over-embellished. 

Although his sexuality and his lovesick, obsessive love for Elizabeth were not only the core of the film but very much the forefront, Linklater manages to explore all the other aspects of his life as well in the undertone. Giving us everything we need to not only fully understand the story but to understand Lorenzo Hart.

Not only understand but see all his struggles and problems he endured. Capturing not only the last few months of his life and the issues and struggles that he faced towards the end of his life. But also giving us an insight into his brilliance and impact on not only the  industry but the people in whose lives he touched. 

Blue Moon is a fantastic, character-driven film that at times burns slow. But at no time does the flame go out. I hope this is not the last time Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater work together, because as always, they’ve teamed up to make an amazing film. 

Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Star.

 

After 16 Years Of Waiting, We’re Finally Getting A Sequel To The Modern Cult Classic

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By : Dominic La-Viola

The year was 2009, and horror was starting to peak once more. Following up the remakes of “Halloween” and “Prom Night,” we got remakes of “Last House on the Left” and “The Hills Have Eyes.” 

Then we got the horror comedy that no one saw coming and literally no one asked for, or even really saw for that matter. (Myself excluded. I remember seeing it opening night.) Yet somehow won the Best Kiss award in 2010 at the MTV Movie Awards for the kiss between Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. 

Which, I remember during the acceptance speech, Seyfried was thanking everyone for voting for them and how excited but surprised she wasthey won, as she knows not a lot of people have seen the movie. 

Now during the time of the film’s release, Fox was in the news, but not for anything good. She was recently fired from the “Transformers” series, which is the very series that made her the “it girl.” 

Despite it underperforming at the box office, since its release on physical media, the film has become a cult classic with a strong following. So with news of a sequel on the way, I believe a lot of people will be happy to hear it, while others may wonder what is “Jennifer’s Body”. 

The sequel is officially in the works. Director Karyn Kusama said  in an interview with Deadline: 

“I know she’s [Cody] working on it right now, and I’m very excited to hear what comes of it. I know some of the bones of it, so I’m not going to give anything away, but it sounds fun and crazy like the first film. And I have no doubt that Diablo will do something absolutely incredible with it.”

Now, with that being said, it’s yet to be confirmed if the studio is even going to greenlight the project at this time. Although it is said that both Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried are excited and willing to return to do a sequel. 

With that being said, it was 20th Century Fox that produced the first film, which means it’s the House of the Mouse that owns the rights now. The question then remains: would they want to risk a potential failure to revive a cult classic? 

Given their track record and their desire to milk IP’s they could very much go for it. I mean, remakes and sequels are still very much profitable, especially in the horror genre. I mean look at the box office so far this year. 9/10 of the highest grossing films are remakes, sequels or reboots.

Frankenstein Movie Review – An Epic Love Story Baptized In A Goth Eccentric Undertone 

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By: Dominic La-Viola

A period piece drama, wrapped in mid-century gothic apparel, is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. 

Going into the film, I was expecting more of a horror film, while the film has dark and gritty moments, the essence of the film reminds me more of the classic monster movies. 

People and sometimes other beings, who are deemed monsters not by their own doing. But from hands not of their own and society’s fear and discussion of them. Like the Phantom in the 1925 “Phantom of the Opera” and the 1933 “King Kong”. 

As much as I see these classic films imprinted on his vision of “Frankenstein”, I see just as much from Guillermo del Toro’s previous works like “The Shape of Water”. 

For at its core, the film is very much a love story. A boy’s love for his mother, a woman’s love for something that is different from anything she’s ever seen, yet only then does she truly feel seen. A man’s love for a woman whom he can never have. A creature’s desire to be loved, to have friendship, companionship, and love. The most basic desires of any living being. 

However, the way Guillermo del Toro captures such a basic concept and brings it to life, in his adaptation of the classic, beloved novel, is what’s truly memorizing. From the overall direction and his attention to details to the performances, score, cinematography, set design, and wardrobe. The film almost doesn’t miss a beat.

The simplest way to phrase it, in any film, the components are either bad, good, or great. Usually, when something is bad, it sticks out like a sore thumb, being brain-numbing. Standing out for not matching or flowing with every other part of the film.

When something is good, the average person, even critics and professionals, I would argue, don’t notice certain things because they blend in. Going unnoticed, going unnoticed simply because they’ve done their job and it doesn’t stand out or jump out at you. 

Now when something is great, extraordinary, or memorizing. It stands out, for all the right reasons.  The costume design in the film is one example. There is a scene in which everyone is dressed in dark or dull clothing, and Elizebeth is wearing this stunning red dress. 

The color contrast between her and everyone else in the scene is so define. Making her character pop in the most radiant way. It adds to the scene’s context and undertone of Victor’s infatuation with her. 

The film features some of the most beautiful shots, captured by Dan Lausten. The same cinematographer, Del Toro, worked with on films such as “Nightmare Alley” and “The Shape of Water,”. Utilizing various techniques to enhance the telling of the story. 

The performances, without question, Oscar Isaac gives another flawless performance, along with Christoph Waltz. Although I positively love Mia Goth’s performance in this film.  Without question, I feel like she gives her best performance yet. It is an absolute delight in every scene she’s in. 

Overall, this is one of  Guillermo del Toro’s best films yet. With only one minor flaw. The CGI flames in one scene, which were truly godawful. It takes you out of the film ever so slightly and briefly. 

Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Stars.

Elizabeth Olson Fights To Keep Theaters Alive. 

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By: Dominic La-Viola

Elizabeth Olson, the indie star icon, whose breakthrough role in the 2011 film “Martha Marcy May Marlene” put her on the map and out of her sister’s shadow. Told told InStyle magazine as part of a new cover story that she is no longer signing on to Hollywood studio movies that don’t have a guaranteed theatrical release.

She would go on to say that “If a movie is made independently and only sells to a streamer, then fine. But I don’t want to make something where streaming is the end-all.”

Now, as bold and outlandish as that might sound to some, I think it’s a turning point that a lot of artists behind and in front of the camera will soon get behind. For some already have and are sticking their ground. 

Christopher Nolan famously left WB after decades of working with them because he disagreed with them on their time frame in releasing movies to streaming after they hit theaters. Now, one of Hollywood’s A-listers is taking a similar stand by refusing to make a movie where the end intent is streaming only. 

Since her last appearance as Scarlett Witch in Marvel’s “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness” in 2022, she has done three films, all of which were indie films. 

Starting with 2023’s “His Three Daughters,” 2024’s “The Assessment,” and the upcoming A24 romantic comedy “Eternity,” which is hitting theaters this year. 

Now, the fact that she is only doing indie films doesn’t necessarily mean that there aren’t offers to do studio films with a guaranteed theatrical release. Although that could be the case, and if so, who’s really coming out on top? 

“His Three Daughters” Metacritic score is 83, “The Assessment” has a lower score of 62. Although even with that being said, I would still argue that a 62 on Metacritic is a solid rating. Rotten Tomatoes has it at an 83% critic and 92% audience. To give a better understanding of the film’s rating.

Ratings that are much higher than the average Hollywood blockbuster or even Hollywood-produced straight-to-streaming movie. Making it clear that there is still work out there and, honestly, the end product is a lot better.

I have to add that the fact that she said that she will do indie films, and if they get bought by a streamer, then be it. Doubles down and goes to show her care and dedication to the craft. That she’s putting the importance of quality first and foremost. Hopefully, more stars and talent behind the cameras will join her in her stand to help save theaters.

Hollywood Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop, The Remakes. Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler to Star in “Miami Vice” Reboot

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By: Dominic La-Viola

 Now, I’m all about nostalgia, but when is Hollywood going to see that remakes and reboots aren’t what moviegoers are yearning for! 

Literally says everyone on the internet. All this while, the people in the real world are telling them something completely different with their wallets.

Out of the top 10 grossing films this year, 8 of them are remakes, reboots, or sequels. Neither of the “hottest” and “best movies of the year”, Sinners or Weapons, made the cut in the top 10. 

2 out of 10 are “original films,” and that’s considering Minecraft to be an original movie, since it’s not a remake, reboot, or sequel,  but an adaptation. The only other film to make the cut is Brad Pitt’s F1.  People obviously want more of what they know and less of what they don’t. 

So to hear that another tentpole film series is going to be a reboot of an established IP doesn’t surprise me. The fact that they have two of the biggest actors of their generation , Michael B Jordan and Austin Butler, in talks to star in the film. Also doesn’t surprise me.

It has been said that the film is  “inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the landmark television series that influenced culture and set the style of everything from fashion to filmmaking.”

Which means we can expect the film to be set in the 1980s in Miami, with the plot being about drugs and corruption. 

It is being said that the film is being filmed with IMAX cameras, which are going to start rolling early next year, with a release day of August 7th, 2027. 

Dylan Clark and Kosinski will be producers on the film. Eric Warren Singer and Dan Gilroy penned the script, which was based on characters created by Anthony Yerkovich.

Netflix Is Getting Into The Theater Game.

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By: Dominic La-Viola

It was just announced that Netflix’s hit show “Stranger Things” final two episodes will release in theatres for audiences to see on the big screen. Something that isn’t common, but is something that has been done a few times before. 

The two-part series final will premiere in theaters on New. Years Eve, the same day it goes live on Netflix. Which doesn’t really offer much incentive to go to the theater to see it, other than being able to watch it with a room full of people on the big screen. Which to some is more than enough, while others may see it as pointless to pay, when they can literally watch it at home the same day, for free.

Now this news comes after the theater announces that Netflix’s “K-pop Demon Hunter” will be in theaters for Halloween weekend. Prompting a statement from both companies, saying they want to find more ways to work together. 

With that being said, it does raise the question. Is Netflix looking to get further into the theater release game? It’s no secret that Netflix has been teaming up with some of Hollywood’s heavy hitters over the past few years and building business relationships with both talent in front and behind the camera.

Looking at their history, Netflix started with the original feature film space back in 2015 with its sequel to the beloved, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. The film released on the streaming service while also being released in select IMAX theaters. 

Since then, Netflix has really increased their number of original films, and even has partnered with some of the best Hollywood has to offer. 

At first, it didn’t seem as if Netflix was truly interested in releasing films on the silver screen, but to make them solely for their streaming service. However, in recent years, they have either produced or bought the rights to films in which they have given theatrical releases too. 

Out of those films, I don’t recall AMC ever showing any of them. With the exception of ”Demon Hunters”. Even as of this month, A House of Dynamite and Frankenstein  were given small theatrical releases. Neither of which is available to see at any AMC. 

For up to now, the Netflix originals in which they release are usually films in which they believe are, or are Oscar bait movies. Ones that they need to release in theaters in certain cities for a limited time to be eligible,to even be considered.

Up till now, the films have been released in select cities, in select theaters. None of which are major theater chains, but more arthouse, or arthouse style theatres. Like AFI, Angelika Film Center, and Alamo Drafthouse. Theaters known for showing arthouse, indie and foreign films. 

Given the success of the screening of its films like Frankenstein and A House of Dynamite, on limited screens in limited city’s. Which shows that there is interest in seeing films on the big screen rather than just waiting for their release on Netflix.

With the cost of productions going up, to keep up with its competitors, and not having the versatile background and income, such as Apple and Amazon. This could be Netflix’s way to not only compete with the tech giants. But also to compete with other major studios, who over the years have invaded their space as well. 

It goes without question that Netflix is going to have to find new ways to increase profits, without continuing to hike up subscription costs. Something that has already lost them a lot of loyal customers. Could teaming with AMC for limited releases of their original films be the solution?

The God Of Geeks To Play The God Of War. #MakeHenryCavillKratos

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By : Dominic La-Viola

Henry Cavill is reportedly being considered to play Kratos in Amazon’s highly anticipated live-action adaptation of God of War.

Now, as of today, this is all speculation, for there has been no official release of the casting list or even confirmation that he is being considered.

The series, which is being co-produced by Sony Pictures and Amazon, has been slated to start filming next year. With an official list of characters that will appear in the show. 

Of those characters that have officially been announced for the first season of the show are Kratos , Atreus, Zion, Alexander, Joshua, Glenn, Phoebe, Roy , Julia,  Annelise, Frida, and Lassen. 

Now, as someone who never played or, should I say, doesn’t remember much about playing “God of War”, these characters’ names don’t mean much to me. Other than, of course, Kratos, who is the main character and person on the cover of the game. 

The character in which Henry Cavill is rumored to be playing. Which of course is mostly speculation and fan casting. 

However, I would like to point out that it was the fans that got Deadpool made. That and Ryan Reynolds leaked test footage that went viral. 

Warner Bros gave us the Snyder Cut due to fan demand. Believe it or not, the internet has allowed fans to really shape casting and even releases of movies and TV shows.

 

To have Henry Cavill, someone who, and I quote, almost missed his audition for “Man of Steel” because he was raiding on WoW.  Play Kratos would be a gift to the fans. I mean, who better to play the “God of War” than the God of the geeks? 

The fandom of him starring in the show would only add to the show’s already preamble success. Which should make him in the leading role a sure thing. 

Although if it doesn’t, the fans and the internet, pulling, posting, and telling Amazon they want Henry Cavill as  Kratos should .#MakeHenryCavillKratos

After The Hunt: Movie Review – Over-scored, Under Directed, A Complete Dumpster Fire

/ Dominic La-Viola / Leave a comment

By: Dominic La-Viola

From director Luca Guadagnino, “Call Me By Your Name” and “Challengers”, comes “After The Hunt”. 

Going into Luca Guadagnino’s new film, I had a pretty good idea of what the movie was about, due to seeing so many trailers for this film leading up to this point.

To be honest, I had high expectations for this one. The marketing made the film appear as if it was going to be an intense, well-crafted psychological thriller. One that used intellectual and philosophical insight to create a thriller tackling a social stigma of guilt by accusation. 

Although what we received is an over-scored, under-directed disaster. The cinematography is horrendous. The first twenty minutes or so of the film felt completely out of focus. Not to the extent that people were walking out of the theater. 

More subtle, yet noticeable enough to make me question where or not the proctor needed to be recalibrated. But as the film went on, things started to look enhanced. The shots didn’t seem to be out of focus, not in the slightest.

Which makes me believe that it was an intentional decision. An artistic one. Start the film off slightly out of focus, causing the audience to feel off-kilter and uneasy. Adding to the uncertainty of the events that are unfolding. 

Now, whether or not that was their intention, I can’t say for sure.  Yet that would be my best guess as to why they would purposely do something like that. Given the fact that it’s like that for the first part of the film, it deems it intentional. If it were merely a few random frames or shots that were slightly out of focus, I would chalk it up to oversight. But not this.

Using the cinematography as a tool to convey emotion can work, wonderfully if done correctly. Luca Guadagnino took a big risk that failed miserably, yet it’s not even the film’s biggest downfall. 

The score is over the top and completely unfitting for this story. Honestly, it has to be one of the worst scores I’ve heard in recent memory. Loud and overbearing, the score actually began to give me a headache.  

With a score by the Oscar-winning duo of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the team behind the score of “The Social Network”. Which is a score I had actually referenced in a conversation just a few days before, about how brilliant it was. That the score for that film is an example of what a great score sounds like. 

However, as horrible and overbearing as the score and cinematography is. The script and the lack of vision are the film’s ultimate downfall. 

The film’s marketing proclaims that it was going to pull no punches and tell a story that makes people feel uncomfortable. It addresses social issues and ethical ones. The whole premise of the story is about ethics and the philosophy of ethics. 

Yet all the film really does is take jabs at the upcoming generation of trust fund kids and their safe spaces. It points out the fact that there is entitlement and demand among the young and rich, who have been handed everything their entire lives. 

Doing things to feel as if they’re not entitled. Like living in apartments 10 times cheaper than they can actually afford, to feel as if they’re earning their way.  

After the first 20 minutes of the film, once the allegations of the sexual assault are made know. The focus completely goes in a different direction, while trying to stay relevant to the story at hand. 

Never does the film address the real issue: Did the events actually take place? It answers questions around the allegations of plagiarism and cheating.  But never the actual topic of the story.

By the time we’re 2/3 into the movie, we never see the actual investigation of the allegations. They never address the issue of false accusations. 

The film pivots to focus on Julia Roberts’ character and her personal issues. Which have nothing to do with the actual plot of the film. 

By the third act, it tries to redeem itself by giving an irrelevant issue a resolution that solves nothing or contributes nothing to the actual story being told. 

It’s almost as if they realized what the story was after they got 30 minutes in and didn’t want to explore the realm of a film that openly admits and shines light on false accusations and the problems they cause. 

Rather than picking a narrative and sticking to it. They shy around various issues, trying to hint at what really happened, without calling out the alleged victim or addressing what actually happened.

In a last-ditch attempt to salvage the movie, we get an irrelevant backstory that is completely unrelated. Hinting at an unethical but mutual romance between a teen and an adult male. Which once ended, the teen accused the adult male of sexual assault. Giving us an insight into the aftermath of her actions even after she retracted her allegations. 

Only to give us a 5-year-later scene in which they tried to tie up the film with a nice bow. Indicating that everyone, even the person who was accused of the sexual assault, ends up with a lavish career and fulfilling life. 

 Leaving the viewer with nothing more than a failed attempt at sparking a controversial narrative that embarks on a conversation. Instead, it sparks the dumpster fire that is “After The Hunt”. 

Overall Rating 2/5 Stars.
