DUNKIRK

May 27, 2022January 29, 2022 Michael J. Casey

Dunkirk isn’t like any other war movie. That’s because Dunkirk isn’t the story of a famous victory but of an infamous retreat. The year is 1940, and the German army has surrounded the British on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, pinning their backs … Continue reading DUNKIRK

TENET

June 22, 2021May 13, 2022 Michael J. Casey

Tenet opens not with a bang, but with an explosion. Chaos coordinated with cinematic clarity courtesy Christopher Nolan. The setting is a concert hall—packed to the rafters with people. The orchestra tunes, the doors close, and the bad guys enter: terrorists … Continue reading TENET

MAN OF STEEL

June 20, 2013December 10, 2021 Michael J. Casey

To borrow a tagline from another recently rebooted franchise, Man of Steel is not your father’s Superman. The name ‘Superman’ isn’t even in the title, it’s only spoken in the movie once, and not even by one of the main characters! The red … Continue reading MAN OF STEEL

In Their Words — Tuesday, October 2, 2012

October 2, 2012December 27, 2021 Michael J. Casey
