Se7en review
In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of this classic from director David Fincher, it’s IMAX showing & its release on 4K, I’m doing a retro review of “Se7en.’ Brad Pitt plays Detective David Mills, who moves to a crime-ridden city with his wife, and is paired up with retiring detective William Somerset, played by Morgan Freeman. Thanks to a serial killer that appears to be preaching and forcing attrition on his victims concerning the Seven Deadly Sins, there will be no easing into the job for Detective Mills. Everything in this city is grimy, nasty and dark and so is what this killer is doing to teach seven peopkle a “lesson.” It’ll take Somerset’s temperance, wisdom and patience, along with Mills’ drive, energy and passion to bring this killer down, if the killer doesn’t take them, or a loved one, out first. This is the first of three films that Brad Pitt and David Fincher made together and it also made Fincher a top tier director. “Se7en” also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, R. Lee Ermey, Richard Roundtree, Reg E. Cathey, Peter Crombie, Hawthorne James, Richard Schiff and Kevin Spacey.

Babylon review
Live elephants, sex, drugs, alcohol. Do I have your attention? That's how the movie Babylon is trying to get your attention. Is it worth your attention? Check out my spoiler-free review of it here. Babylon stars Margot Robbie as a movie star wannabe, Brad Bitt as an actual movie star and Diego Calva as someone that wants to be around movie stars. The scene is the old Hollywood of the 1920s and 1930s, where actors are just now becoming massive beloved celebrities and they raise hell like it too. Nothing can possibly go wrong, right?
Bullet Train review
Pew Pew Pew! Brad Pitt stars in Bullet Train, an original, frenetic, kinetic action-comedy movie from the director of Deadpool 2. Aptly titled, this flick mostly takes place on a Japanese bullet train where bad boys and girls are all after a valuable briefcase. Needless to say, they do not play nice together on this bloody choo-choo. Co-starring Sandra Bullock, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Joey King, Hiroyuki Sanada and Brian Tyree Henry. Should you jump on board?
