Dunkirk in Theaters Now

This is not the first film about the battle of Dunkirk—it is the most impressive looking film made about it. More than 90% of the film was shot with an IMAX camera and minimum dialogue that just draws you into the emotion of the film. At times I felt like I was walking on the beach with the soldiers. It’s a feeling when watching films in an IMAX theater.

1958 film, Dunkirk

Behind the story: In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle Opens September 22!

Kingsman: The Golden CircleWhen we watched Kingsman: The Secret Service, which was a fun kickass film, I said, I would watch these characters again if they planned on doing a franchise. Now I am excited to see the new installment, Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

The back story: Kingsman: The Secret Service introduced the world to Kingsman-an independent, international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion, whose ultimate goal is to keep the world safe. In Kingsman: The Golden Circle, our heroes face a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organization in the US called Statesman, dating back to the day they were both founded. In a new adventure that tests their agents’ strength and wits to the limit, these two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that’s becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy…

Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Pedro Pascal, Sir Elton John, Channing Tatum, Jeff Bridges

Director Matthew Vaughn co-wrote the film with Jane Goldman, based upon the comic book by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. The cast: Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Halle Berry, Pedro Pascal, Sir Elton John, Channing Tatum, and Jeff Bridges.

In Theaters September 22 and we can’t wait.
