This week's releases
August: Osage County: Based on the play of the same name, a family crisis brings a family back together in Oklahoma after they have avoided each other living different lives. The strong and stubborn women of the family soon begin to clash with their mother, Violet played by Meryl Streep. A huge ensemble cast has been brought together including Julia Roberts, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Ewan McGregor.
Grudge Match: Robert de Niro once again proves that he will do any film as long as the paycheck is big enough. This time getting in the boxing ring with Stallone for this comedy which apparently pits the two most well known actors to have taken boxing roles (Stallone as Rocky and De Niro as Jake La Motta) with Alan Arkin also appearing as a manager/trainer.
Inside Llewyn Davis: The Coen brothers latest film follows a week in the life of a young singer living amongst the Greenwich folk scene in New York in the early 1960's. Oscar Isaac gets the big lead role who was mostly known for playing Irene's incarcerated husband in Drive but this is a film that has been largely snubbed by the Academy when they released their nominees earlier this month.
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit: Chris Pine plays CIA analyst Jack Ryan who has uncovered a Russian (why the obsession with Russia, the cold war ended decades ago) plot to crash the U.S stock market by planning a terrorist attack. This film is surprisingly directed by Kenneth Brannagh who also plays a Russian antagonist in the movie.
