Although I'm not strapped into the chair that Chris Pratt spends 90% of MERCY in, I have to admit that I went into this movie ready to quip, "Yeah, I saw this when it was called 'Minority Report'! While it never nears the superiority of that Cruise/Spielberg classic, damned if this one isn't a whole lot of fun, packed with suspense, humor and buckets of action. Pratt plays Detective Chris Raven, a decorated officer and one of the champions of the near future virtual court called Mercy. If...

Dead Man's Wire

A suspenseful throwback to the gritty crime dramas of the 1970's, DEAD MAN'S WIRE is taut full of suspense and based on a true story of televised revolution. Be prepared to be plunged into a cold February day in 1977. Director Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) and his team recreate that chilly Indianapolis day, giving the entire film a palpable sense of time and place. Bill Skarsgard is a long way from Pennywise in a superb performance as everyman Tony Kiritsis, whose American dream is...

Primate

WOW is PRIMATE a massive surprise. A throwback to 80's visceral gore and terror with the best practical effects in ages, it's an 800lb gorilla of scares, suspense and freak out moments. AND it's well acted by a great cast. Didn't see this one coming. Mesa's own, Troy Kotsur, Best Actor Oscar winner for 2022's "Coda", stars as author Adam, whose luxurious cliff side beach house sees the return of his older daughter Lucy (a terrific Johnny Sequoia) after a long time away from him and his...

Greenland 2: Migration

Five years after the original comet disaster flick, Gerard Butler returns in GREENLAND 2: MIGRATION , a disappointing sequel to the surprising original. The good news is that Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin are back as John & Allison Garrity, still living underground in the encampment that they strove to find in the original film. But that massive bunker is showing signs of wear and the Earth is starting to push back against the impact of the comet. Fissures and lava emerge, earthquakes...

Marty Supreme

It took me about 48 hours to realize just how much I liked MARTY SUPREME . Josh Safdie's film pummels you with 150 minutes of fascinating/sordid characters, relentless tension and a music score that shouldn't work. Walking out of the theater, I wasn't sure that the whole thing did. I knew that Timothee Chalamet absolutely knocked it out of the park, creating yet another character in a cavalcade of diverse performances that seems almost impossible at his age. Like Daniel Day Lewis in one of my...

Song Sung Blue

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are showstoppers in the moving, new based-on-an impossibly-true-story SONG SONG BLUE . As the story unfolded, I kept turning to my wife and whispering, can this actually be true??? Researching it post viewing, the surprising answer is, for the most part, YES! Hugh Jackman plays Mike, Vietnam vet and long time rocker with a great reputation around Wisconsin after decades of playing bars. Celebrating 20 years of sobriety in a blue collar life, his music comes...

Moneyball

Moneyball is excellent! Based on the true story of the Oakland A's new approach to Baseball in 2002 and written by Steven Zallian and Aaron Sorkin, MONEYBALL delivers. Between this and "Tree of Life" Pitt has had a great 2011. Jonah Hill is perfect here as Pitt's sidekick. Moneyball is a home run and drives in a A.
