Eddington(2025) written review.

 

Eddington

Cast: Joaquin Pheonix, Pedro Pascal,Emma Stone

Writer and Director: Ari Aster

 **** out of Five Stars

The Covid pandemic in 2020 is something that everyone is still recovering from.  Having the whole world being basically shut down for a year has affected the way we socialize with each other for years to come. We were stuck in our homes with only the people we knew and the politics and our interests more or less the same.  This is the time where we saw the rise of the extreme right and the extreme left become more and more popular in our culture.  This latest film from director Ari Aster(Hereditary) shows us that divide in this very unique dark comedy reflection of our times.

Wolf Man(2025) Written Review

 

Wolf Man

Cast:Christopher Abbott, Julie Garner,Matilda Firth

Writers: Leigh Whannell, Corbet Tuck

Director: Leigh Whannell

** and a 1/2 *'s out of 5

 

Adapting the classic werewolf tale for a modern audience is no easy feat.  Especially since the original The Wolf Man staring Lon Chaney Jr from 1941 has been made into countless other hair raising tales.  From American Werewolf in London to Dog Soliders and Teen Wolf to just plain Wolf.  There is no shortage of stories for audiences to sink their teeth into.
