IMAX Early Screening of Civil War directed by Alex Garland and starring Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura and Stephen McKinley Henderson and distributed by A24.

I just saw Ex Machina for the first time last month in IMAX at the same theater which included a teaser for Civil War. Turns out it was the opening scene to this movie, which makes sense and it establishes a bleak, dystopian near future where America is going through a civil war with several states attempting to succeed and overthrow the US government. While little information regarding the actual war is provided in the movie it sets a backdrop for an intense and jarring film about bipartisan journalism. Watching these journalists travel 800+ miles for the story of a lifetime while dealing with their disjointed and disconnected view of society. We see a war hardened journalist played by a spectacular Kirsten Dunst whose detached and distant from everything going on around her which cracks and fades through out the film and we see a newcomer played by Cailee Spaeny whose own journey mirrors Dunst’s. The heart and soul of McKinley Henderson’s Sammy and the enthusiasm of Wagner’s Joel are shining spots in the movie. Although Alex Garland isn’t American he captures some distinctly American tropes, men who have just been waiting for some chaos so they can live out their power trip fantasies and those who would rather just “stay out of it” or “pretend it doesn’t exist”. The actual politics are vague and tip toed around without making any actual stands but the story remains intense and jarring regardless. The use of cameras, photography and sound/music to create the most tense moments is masterclass. Rob Hardy deserves a nod for cinematography.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

In theaters everywhere April 12th.

Monkey Man directed by and starring Dev Patel, produced by Jordan Peele.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think Jordan Peele pulling this to release it in theaters was the best thing to happen ever. Everything about this movie is done impeccably well considering this is Dev Patel’s first time directing. You can tell he took a lot of influence by Bollywood cinema. The action sequences are very John Wick but absolutely wild and filmed gorgeously. I hope Dev Patel gets only amazing things in his life.
