Why It’s Essential Viewing GED Cinema “The Vast of Night” asks the viewer to sit still and listen. It lives in the eerie stillness of those moments, where a character in a low-lit room leans in and listens attentively to the voice on the other end of the phone line. Sound is an essential part of the movie’s design: when we first meet teen DJ Everett Sloan (Jake Horowitz), he talks with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and you can’t always make out what he’s saying....

Sounds interesting. Where do we find this scene? Warner Bros One of the colorful characters we meet in “Goodfellas” as we follow Henry’s rise-and-fall is Morrie Kessler (Chuck Low), a low-level associate of the Lucchese crime family and purveyor of some rather unconvincing wigs. Morrie is harmless, but he’s got a big mouth and he’s incredibly annoying. After Hill and his friend Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) pull off the record-breaking Lufthansa heist, poor old Morrie just can’t stop badgering Jimmy for his cut of the money....
Another Chance for David Harbour to Shine Lionsgate Harbour has been working in Hollywood for years as a reliable character actor, but “Stranger Things” changed the game for him. Unfortunately, he’s yet to find a starring vehicle that truly serves as a showcase of his talents with him at the center of the story. 2019’s “Hellboy” felt like the ideal fit. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a critical and commercial disaster, through no fault of Harbour’s....

‘Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard’ Review: Snarky, Slapdash, And Really Just Plain Annoying To Watch By Josh Spiegel/June 9, 2021 10:00 am EST The return of inexplicable sequels is but one part of the general “nature is healing” vibe of the 2021 summer movie season, and the awkwardly titled action comedy Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard fits the bill, unfortunately, quite well. A follow-up to the 2017 film The Hitman’s Bodyguard (even as it loses the word “The” for no good reason), this sequel offers more of the same while being poorly paced and substituting yelling and profanity in place of actual wit or humor....
