The Eyes of Ghana 2026 Movie Review Trailer

Image
 Two-time Oscar winner Ben Proudfoot turns his lens toward Chris Hesse, a 90-year-old man brimming with energy who filmed the most significant historical events in Ghana. Depending on whom you ask, Kwame Nkrumah is either a hero—tragically denied the chance to see his vision realized—or a narcissistic, would-be dictator. Director: Ben Proudfoot Stars: Edmund Addo, Anita Afonu, Chris Hesse As prime minister and, later, president of Ghana, Nkrumah oversaw the African nation’s peaceful separation from Great Britain and became a fervent advocate for Pan-Africanism. He championed the union of African nations into an entity he dreamed of calling the "United States of Africa," convinced that by uniting to control the continent’s natural resources, Africa could break free from colonial influence and emerge as a key player on the global stage. Yet, he also resorted to authoritarian tactics—such as declaring Ghana a one-party state with himself as president for life—which ultimately tr...

The Gray Man 2022 Movie Review Trailer Cast Crew

Image
The biggest muscle-flexing in " The Gray Man " comes not from Ryan Gosling or Chris Evans (not that they're slackers), but from the overall cast, which includes Ana de Armas after her role as kick-butt Bond, as well as Regé- Jean Page after "Bridgerton", Jessica Henwick ("The Matrix") and Indian star Dhanush. The script, unfortunately, is a bit of a wimp at 98 pounds, but given the escapist demands, it's probably enough to get the job done. In fact, "Gray Man 2022" comes from the "Red Notice" school of noisy, if not so colorful, Netflix action movies, where the cast, the influence of social media, and the credibility of superheroes in the key cast make quality is basically irrelevant. No matter the movie, the poster alone, including "Avengers" directors the Russo Brothers, pretty much ensures astronomical "minutes watched" numbers. Even less than "Red," though, "Gray Man" doesn't reall...

Resurrection 2022 Movie Review Trailer Cast Crew

Image
Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth are incredible actors who gave arguably two of the most underrated performances of the past year, in David Bruckner's psychological horror The Night House and Michel Franco's provocative thriller Sundown, respectively. Pitting such dynamic and exciting artists against each other in a trauma-ridden horror film invites dynamite expectations, then, for Andrew Semans (Nancy, Please) Resurrection, sure to be one of the most provocative and polarizing offerings at Sundance 2022. Margaret (Rebecca Hall) lives a seemingly full life, successfully juggling a high-flying career and single parenthood while raising a daughter, Abbie (Grace Kaufman), soon to be off to college. But Margaret's regimented status quo is violently shaken when she notices a familiar man from her past, David (Tim Roth), at a work conference. David then continues to reappear in her neighborhood, forcing her to confront a deep-seated trauma that she experienced more than two decades earl...

Ali & Ava 2022 Movie Review Trailer Cast Crew

Image
Ali & Ava is the latest film from British director Clio Barnard. As with two of its previous titles, The Arbor and The Selfish Giant, it's set in a Bradford housing estate, and like those movies, it's not always easy to watch. However, that doesn't mean the movie isn't good. Barnard is a good director and storyteller, so you shouldn't overlook this. But as the main leads, whose lives have been touched by tragedy, have little hope of a happy future together, the film is sometimes quite bleak and that can make viewing uncomfortable. Needless to say, this is not a fantasy romance movie with characters whose lives are hard to relate to. This is not a Hallmark TV movie or a Nicholas Sparks adaptation where a happily ever after resolution is guaranteed right from the start. Director: Clio Barnard Writer: Clio Barnard Stars: Adeel Akhtar, Claire Rushbrook, Ellora Torchia This is a socio-realistic drama about two people struggling to survive, with real problems and real...
