I had the great honor to speak with the incredible Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, & Mike Schur about the second season of the fun, lighthearted mystery...
Regretting You is based on Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel. While there is a lot less gossip surrounding this film adaptation, there is also less interest.
Director Josh Boone, who previously captured our hearts in the romantic drama, The Fault in Our Stars teams up with writer Susan McMartin to bring this novel to life. The film stars McKenna Grace, Allison Williams and Dave Franco. Without giving too much away, we begin meeting two sisters, Morgan and Jenny, who are complete opposites. Morgan is the responsible one, while Jenny is the free spirit. Morgan is married to Chris, with whom she got pregnant in High School. They have a 17-year-old daughter, Clara. Jenny is engaged to her High School boyfriend, with whom she has a baby. After a fatal accident, both family’s lives are turned upside down. Morgan and Clara struggle with their now strained relationship, which forces them to confront shocking secrets and betrayals. Read Full review here.
Stephen King’s newest adaptation, The Long Walk is not for the faint of heart. It’s a chilling and intense thriller grounded by the emotional depth of its relatable characters and the choices they make.
Based on King’s first-written novel, the film is set in a dystopian future where a group of teenage boys compete to win a life-changing prize in an annual contest known as The Long Walk, where they must maintain a certain walking speed or get shot. It is as stressful as it sounds, pushing horror boundaries that are equally terrifying, thought-provoking and emotional. The film is directed by Francis Lawrence, who ironically enough directed several of the Hunger Games movies, which plot wise feel eerily related. Lawrence masterfully captures the tension and anxiety these boys are feeling with every step they take. As soon as the walk begins, audiences will be on edge waiting for the inevitable demise of 49 walkers.
It is a difficult watch but if you can power through the unsettling images, you will be blown away by some early Oscar-worthy performances by Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson. Read full review here.
