Trailer: Unbroken

Posted on July 15, 2014 at 8:00 am

One of the most anticipated films of the year is “Unbroken,” directed by Angelina Jolie, and based on Laura Hillenbrand’s best-seller, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.  It is the story of Louis Zamperini, who died this month at age 97, after an extraordinary and heroic life that included competing as an Olympic athlete, 47 days on a raft in the Pacific Ocean after his plane crashed during WWII, and then surviving torture and starvation in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Perhaps most remarkably, he found peace after the way by learning to forgive the men who tortured him. This first trailer looks like the film will do justice to Zamperini’s story.

But it can never be as powerful as the man himself.

Trailer: Spooky “The Congress” With Robin Wright

Posted on June 7, 2014 at 8:00 am

Robin Wright stars as..Robin Wright, well, a version of herself anyway, in this futuristic thriller about an actress who agrees to turn over her cyber-persona to a movie studio so she can get the money she needs to care for her son.  It looks like a sci-fi “Alice in Wonderland” after that.  I’m very intrigued.
