Spaceballs: The Movie Review

  • Title: Spaceballs
  • IMDb: link

Released 5 years after the conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy, and long before any glimmer of new Star Wars films ever being made, with Spaceballs writer/director Mel Brooks lampooned the cultural phenomenon along with countless other sci-fi properties including Star Trek, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, and others. Although Brooks would go on to do other parodies in a similar vein, arguably learning the wrong lesson from the film, Spaceballs marks the end of the director’s better work which peaked far earlier in the early 1970s.

For the fifth time in his career, and the first time since 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, director Steven Spielberg returns to the subject of alien life on Earth. Through the use of Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor who somehow know things beyond what is possible, Eve Hewson as O’Connor’s religious girlfriend, a government conspiracy run by Colin Firth, and an underground movement to reveal the truth led by Colman Domingo, Disclosure Day asks the question: Do those who know the truth of alien life have a right, or an obligation, to share that knowledge with he world?

Samara Weaving stars as Caroline, a small town grocery worker smarter than her station but just naive enough to believe Oliver (Kyle Gallner), the charming con man who rolls into town, can provide her with a better life. Losing herself in the attraction of Oliver and the adrenaline of bigger and bigger scores, Carolina Caroline starts out as a breezy con movie romance before things start to go wrong and the consequences for the pair’s actions come due.

Pressure

  • Title: Pressure
  • IMDb: link

Delving into one of the less explored aspects of one of the most covered war moments in history, the script by Anthony Maras and David Haig, based on Haig’s stage play, explores how weather won perhaps the most crucial battle of World War II. Despite it’s slightly unusual subject matter, the structure of the film (involving one lone voice of reason struggling to be heard over the naysayers) is quite familiar.
