Raul Navedo0 CommentsTrailersAaron Sorkin, Netflix, Trailer

Here is the official full trailer of Aaron Sorkin's The Trial of the Chicago 7! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVb6EdKDBfU What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest—including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale—were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history. The film stars Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron-Cohen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mark Rylance and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Written and directed by Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin. The film…

“Lovers Rock” Film Review | NYFF 2020

Raul Navedo0 CommentsEnglish Reviews, ReviewsFilm Review, Lovers Rock, New York Film Festival, NYFF, Review, Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen’s Lovers Rock is the opening night film at New York Film Festival. I remember when this was announced, Film Twitter couldn't control themselves! I even found myself wondering what side of McQueen to expect. Undoubtedly a talented and multi-faceted director that has shown his versatility numerous times. I knew exactly what side we were getting less than ten seconds into the film. Before even seeing a character I was transported by the cinematography back to 12 Years a Slave. It’s a testament to his style and shows he is a director who has a signature. What can I…

Raul Navedo0 CommentsNewsAnt-Man 3, Jonathan Majors, Marvel

Don't freak out but Jonathan Majors, the breakout star of Lovecraft Country and The Last Black Man in San Francisco, has just been added to the cast of Marvel's Ant-Man 3, as reported by The Wrap. Ant-Man is one of the best franchises over at Marvel so this is a bigger deal than some will make it seem! Particularly exciting since this means the potential to see Majors on screen with stars Paul Rudd & Evangeline Lilly. The rumors state that Majors is expected to play super-villain Kang the Conqueror. Personally, I love the idea of Majors playing a villain,…

The Father Trailer

Raul Navedo0 CommentsTrailersSony Pictures Classics, The Father, Trailer

Sony Pictures Classics is swinging for the Dolby Theater with this one. With the amount of buzz it's getting it will surely be an upset for this to be snubbed altogether at the Oscars. A powerful trailer depicting the relationship between a concerned daughter and a father who's mental health is failing but who fights to cling on to himself in more ways than one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TZb7YfK-JI&t=4s Anthony is 80, mischievous, living defiantly alone and rejecting the carers that his daughter, Anne, encouragingly introduces. Yet help is also becoming a necessity for Anne; she can’t make daily visits anymore and Anthony’s…

A Perfect Marriage of the Two Greatest Arts

Raul Navedo0 CommentsEnglish ReviewsChefs Table, Chefs Table BBQ, Netflix

The common misconception about Chef’s Table is that it’s a “food show”. I see how it’s easy to come to that conclusion. The word “Chef” is in the title and there’s food on the cover. We all know the idiom Don’t judge a book by its cover. I would argue that Chef’s Table is as much about food as Star Trek is about space. It’s there, and without it you wouldn’t have the show, but it’s not what’s at the core. Chef’s Table is a show about people and their stories. About life and art. About perseverance… The subjects just…

That’s right, we are getting a Psych sequel for…

Dear… Review

Raul Navedo0 CommentsEnglish ReviewsApple Review, AppleTv, AppleTV+, AppleTVPlus, Big Bird, Dear..., Jane Goodall, Lin-Manual Miranda, Oprah, Review, Series Review, TV Review, Yara Shahidi

“When senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing here is promised. Not one day.[Hamilton] is proof that history remembers. We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger. We rise and fall, and light from dying embers; remembrances that hope and love last longer. And love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, cannot be killed or swept aside. I sing Vanessa’s symphony; Eliza tells her story. Now fill the world with music, love, and pride.”[Speech by Lin-Manuel Miranda: 2016 Tony Awards] Powerful messages for these troubling times and a poignant…

The Invisible Man Review

Raul Navedo1 CommentEnglish ReviewsElizabeth Moss, Film Review, Horror, Review, The Invisible Man, Thriller

Far from Hollow Man but not nearly as hollow as the trailers would lead one to believe, The Invisible Man is a thrilling two hours that keep you looking at the empty spaces of the frame more often than your average flick demands. Not in appreciation of the production design but because you, much like our heroine, know that invisible bastard is right in that corner… or is he in that one… maybe by the bookshelf…? Ah, damnit… Cecilia Kass(Elisabeth Moss) is the, apparent, victim of an abusive relationship with Adrian(Oliver Jackson Cohen). One night she musters up the courage…
