Saipan 2026 Movie Review Trailer

Saipan 2026. A film loosely based on the conflict between the Republic of Ireland coach, Mike McCarthy (Steve Coogan), and his star player, Roy Keane (Eanna Hardwicke), and Keane's subsequent departure from the Irish squad for the World Cup. To begin with, Hardwicke doesn't resemble Keane at all—she's much taller—but she does capture his arrogance. Coogan isn't an exact copy either, but she does capture his seemingly chaotic approach to player management. Directors: Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn Writer:: Paul Fraser Stars: Éanna Hardwicke, Steve Coogan, Peter McDonald What I felt while watching the film was the disastrous state of Irish planning. That was the problem: Keane, of Manchester United fame, expected more. I watched The Damned United last week, which deals with the rivalry between Brian Clough and Don Revie. It's tense, funny, and genuinely interesting, but this isn't. It's okay, and it plays on Irish stereotypes. The best part for me was hea...

Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only 2023 Movie Review Trailer

 Kevin Hart & Chris Rock: Headliners Only begins much like the first one-night comedy show in New York. That is to say, a little slow and a little uncomfortable. "This is a story about two separate journeys that follow two different paths but somehow line up and end up at the same intersection at the top." This clumsy comment is from Kevin.

  


The 82-minute show, however, shines when treated as a well-deserved celebration of two great comedians, rather than a behind-the-scenes exploration of their recent stadium tour.

Director: Rashidi Natara Harper
Stars: Cedric The Entertainer, Kevin Hart, D.L. Hughley

The interviews are a lovely way to tell Chris and Kevin's stories. From Chris' brother Tony to Wanda Sykes, Kevin's brother Robert, and Dave Chapelle, there are a lot of great people to hear from. Keith Robinson's appearance is the highlight. He was to Kevin Hart what Eddie Murphy was to Chris Rock: a Jedi, a wise mentor who paved the way for him to a conscious career. Robinson recently performed at The Village Underground. He was very funny that night.


A slow start offers plenty of opportunities to learn something new, laugh at Kevin or Chris, or at least point and smile at the long list of guest appearances. This is, first and foremost, a celebration of comedy. That's hard not to like for fans of the form or those unfamiliar with the main artists.


The middle portions are the most captivating. Director Rashidi Natara Harper draws a line between the rise of Chris Rock and the rise of Kevin Hart. The story paints a picture of the pure monolith that is the New York comedy scene.


The documentary loses some shine as the final show at Madison Square Garden approaches. While it's a flex to have Jay-Z backstage, the goat's encore for G.O.A.T. It's a bit repeated.
