The Great Escaper 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The Great Escapee is a drama that tells the story of a World War II veteran who escapes his retirement home to travel to France. He wants to attend the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings, and what follows is his journey and his memories.

This is a charming and moving drama that touches the heart. The ghosts that haunt Bernard are palpable, and his journey is filled with chilling moments. It's based on a true story that the nation rallied around. Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson are truly fantastic in their roles. I would like to see this film included in the awards season conversation because I think they are two of the best of the year.

Director: Oliver Parker
Writer: William Ivory
Stars: Michael Caine, Graeme Dalling, Myles Olofin

Would the real Bernie Jordan and his family have been proud that he and his wife Reenie were portrayed by British film legends Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson? Undoubtedly, and rightly so: the film is an excellent tribute.

In 2014, Bernie Jordan made headlines when he left his nursing home in Hove, UK, and crossed the English Channel by ferry at the age of 89, without a license plate, to participate in the 70th anniversary celebrations of the D-Day landings in Normandy. His wife, Reenie (Irene), kept his escape a secret, while his caregivers made a public plea to find him. Oliver Parker (AN IDEAL HUSBAND) creates a multifaceted film that celebrates love, care, compassion, and aging with great dignity.

Caine and Jackson come together to create a magic that only the most masterful actors can achieve. While the story is based on true events, creating a couple so genuinely devoted to each other with such conviction requires exceptional skill. Jackson deserved a film like this as his farewell. 10 GUMS

A Minecraft Movie 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

If you were to throw a bucket in Hollywood today, you could easily find a dozen video game adaptations in development, either as TV series or movies. They're all vying for the same thing: critical acclaim, huge box office revenue, or a sudden surge in streaming subscribers thanks to established fandoms. But it's a long shot: Will they become a "Borderlands" movie flop or a "Last of Us" hit? Next month, Legendary Entertainment, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Microsoft are going for box office gold with a different kind of game-to-movie adaptation: "A Minecraft Movie." Director: Jared Hess Writers: Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, Neil Widener Stars: Jennifer Coolidge, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers For the uninitiated, Microsoft-owned "Minecraft" is a sandbox game that immerses players in the Overworld, a whimsical dimension made up of blocky, box-like voxels. There's no single story or single way to play: users can craft items, build structures, ba...

The Hunting Wives 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Netflix has become a haven for shows about small towns rocked by crime. Last week, we premiered Untamed, where the residents of a town in Yosemite National Park became embroiled in a murder mystery after a girl fell from El Capitan. The show dealt heavily with grief, suicidal tendencies, abusive men, and the colonialists' negative feelings toward the Indigenous community. The Glass Dome told the story of a criminal psychologist who returned to her hometown to attend her stepmother's funeral and found herself involved in investigating a series of murders seemingly connected to her past. Hound's Hill centered on a Polish author who returned to his hometown to come to terms with a crime he may have committed, only to discover that a serial killer is on the loose, killing the perpetrators—and his name could be next on the list. So, yes, when I watched The Hunting Wives, I completely understood why Netflix bought the rights to this show. What confuses me is, who is this series ...
