HD movie streaming - Knives Out

 The star cast of this classic crime comedy alone suggests an entertaining film experience. If there is a cryptic auteur filmmaker like Rian Johnson behind the matter, you can be sure that this death is a dodgy one. In the footsteps of Hitchcock and Agatha Christie, “Knives Out” is surprisingly fresh. Now released by Leonine on Blu-ray and DVD for home entertainment.

The great crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is dead. The morning after the family had gathered at the patriarch's house to celebrate his 85th birthday, Harlan was found dead. Apparently he killed himself, slit his throat with a knife.

Lieutenant Elliot (LaKeith Stanfield) investigates the death and interrogates all family members present in the house as well as the bestselling author's carer. In the background is the famous private detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) who was called in by an unknown client and now thinks he has to solve a murder. Even if the policeman explains to him that everything points towards suicide.

Classic "Who was it?" ...

Well, on closer inspection, almost everyone in the deceased's family seems to have a motive for turning the old man around. Daughter Linda Drysdale (Jamie Lee Curtis) runs a successful business, but her husband Richard (Don Johnson) has a secret that Harlan knew about. Linda's son Ransom (Chris Evans) left the party yesterday in an argument. Harlan's son Walt Thrombey (Michael Shannon) runs the family-owned book publisher, but was at odds with his father over the sale of film rights.

Finally, Joni (Toni Colette), the widow of Harlan's late second son, is financially dependent on her father-in-law; not only because of the tuition fees for his granddaughter Meg (Katherine Langford). Only the nurse Marta Cabrera (Ana de Armas) seems to have been on friendly terms with the late Harlan Thrombey.

... in a modern outfit ...

"Knives out" is a classic detective piece in the British manner of "Who Dunnit?", In which it is always essential that all suspects are held in one place and that the investigator or investigators use questioning and cleverness to navigate through the undergrowth Beat intrigues, lies and false alibis. Often enough in the long history of such crime pieces, which form their own sub-genre of crime novels, there is some - often cynical - humor, because much tension rarely arises. So it has to remain tricky and the audience has to be actively involved in the resolution and have to be able to guess.

HD streaming: Knives Out

This is exactly where Rian Johnson's “Knives Out” differs from many other contributions in the genre, as it is revealed quite early on how the old man died. It goes without saying that not everything is betrayed by this. A game of confusion and a series of quotes unfold that is second to none. Johnson knows his Pappenheimer and allusions to Agatha Christie's master detective Hercule Poirot are more than obvious in the snooty narcissistic figure of Benoit Blanc.

Project Power Movie Review

It has been 10 years since Catfish launched the duo of directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman as promises of ambitious and minimally substantial cinema. If a decade later they were unable to repeat the enthusiasm and narrative effervescence of the premiere, it is impossible to say that they are incoherent in pursuing a thematic cut that they have committed to since 2010 and it makes sense now in Power , the most important product Netflix of the season that points, without exercising a hermetic authorial curve, a proposal that connects it to previous features without creating a structural link, only conceptual. His main interests go through an investigation of young society with what is fantastic about modernity, and how much that same department contains elements that make this relationship positive or negative.  From the overwhelming reach of the internet to the addictive connection in games by application, through subdivisions of fear, from the technology that sees everything until

TERMINATOR: GENISYS (2015) Review

Image
 In the future, the war on the machines ends: resistance leader John Connor is about to end the actions of the supercomputer Skynet. But shortly before giving up the ghost, the latter then uses a revolutionary machine to send a T-800 (original model of Terminator) in the past in order to eliminate his mother, Sarah Connor. John then has no choice: he must in turn use this machine to send someone in the past to protect his mother. Sergeant Kyle Reese volunteers and eventually lands in a temporal divide, in which Sarah has become a warrior, trained from an early childhood by another T-800 tasked with looking after her. Together, they must face a new threat, suddenly unexpected ... Films about time travel are always the same story. It is first necessary to make a choice of narration in order to make the concept credible: while some opt for a narrative loop logic like "Looper" (what is "modified" in the present is only the continuity of what will happen in the future),
