Film review-Chef

Director John Favreau brings together an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Sofia Vergara for his deliciously entertaining film Chef. While the story itself is heartwarming and engaging, it’s the mouth-watering food that steals the show. Favreau’s passion for the project is evident, as he went method in preparation for his role and even worked in a busy kitchen in Los Angeles under the guidance of the person who launched the food-truck revolution, Roy Choi, who is also a co-producer on the film.

Favreau delivers a standout performance as Carl Casper, a semi-celebrity chef who, after receiving a harsh review from a renowned food critic, finds himself searching for a new path in life. Together with his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara) and son (Emjay Anthony), Carl embarks on a cross-country journey in a food truck, rekindling his love for cooking and his bond with his son.

Filled with heart and humour, Chef is a refreshing departure from the summer blockbuster formula. While it may not have the biggest marketing budget, Chef is a cinematic gem that is not to be missed. But be warned, you’ll want to eat before seeing it!

Blu ray review. Non-stop

“Non-Stop” is almost a difficult film to review, as it’s everything you expect it to be. Every character is a suspect and everyone is dismissed as a suspect, and the more they’re dismissed as a suspect, the more they start to look guilty.

Liam Neeson, is playing the same type of role his played since Taken. This time he’s Bill Marks, a former NYPD officer turned Air Marshal. He’s on a trans-Atlantic flight when he receives a text message from a passenger, demanding $150 million be wired to his account or he’ll kill one passenger every thirty-minutes.

The problem is that it tries to be something it isn’t. It has one too many scenes that border on ludicrous, and the terrorists plan doesn’t really make sense.
Non-Stop is a flawed but fun action movie.

The blu ray comes with two special features “Non-Stop Action” (5 minutes and “Suspense at 40,000 Feet” (8 minutes). Neither feature really adds anything to the film.

Non-Stop arrives on DVD and Blu ray on June 30th.

Edgar Wright drops out of Ant-Man

Here is a bit of surprising news. Edgar Wright has dropped out of directing Ant-Man.
Wright has been working on the project since 2006.
For years he and Joe Cornish have worked on the script, adapting it to fit in with current Marvel continuity. Everybody involved in the Marvel universe has previously said how excited they were to see a Wright at the helm.

Marvel have apparently found a new director and the film is still scheduled for release on July 17th, 2015.

Gareth Edwards to launch Star Wars spin-off

Unless you’re a goat herder living in outer Mongolia, you probably know that Gareth Edwards will be helming the first solo spin-off Star Wars movie, due for release in December 2016.

Recently Hasbro held a you conference in Spain and a leaked memo has been doing the rounds. It cites the three spin-off movies.

The list read as follows:

Solo, 2016.

Boba Fett, 2018

Red 5, 2020.

I’m excited, for the next five years we’re going to have a Star Wars based film out every year. May the force be with us.

Batfleck revealed

Zack Snyder had released the first image of Ben Affleck as Batman. You can’t really see much, but so far, I like what I see. It’s very reminiscent of the costume from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.
Is that the Joker’s face I spot, just behind Batman?
