Some of this actually happened… Two women with the same name just happened to be murdered a few days apart. Is there any particular thing that ties the murders together or is it just purely a coincidence. That’s what police chief Jordan Sanders (Jon Hamm) has the responsibility of figuring out.…

"Top Gun: Maverick Soars Onto 4K UHD, Blu-ray, DVD" Nostalgia wins this year as Top Gun: Maverick will have audiences soaring into the Danger Zone with the Tom Cruise film finally opening. “Don’t think, just do.” When you’re up in the air, you do not have anytime to think. It’s similar to Yoda’s Star Wars mantra when it comes to “Do or do not, there is no try.” It’s this mantra in the film that comes down to life or death decisions. One wrong…

Steven Soderbergh is back with the Ed Solomon-scripted No Sudden Move but the lens choices are distracting to watch on a flat screen. On paper, this sounds like a fine film. In terms of execution, there are some rather distracting decisions being made. The lens choices just didn’t work with regards to home viewing. When they moved the dolly in order to follow the movement, it made for some distractions when the picture moved. It…

"Richard Jewell hits Blu-ray, DVD" Richard Jewell takes us back to the immediate aftermath of the Centennial Park bombing during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Imagine saving the lives of hundreds of people celebrating during a concert. This is what one security guard was doing on a late summer night in July 1996. In spite of this, the FBI saw him as the lead suspect in their case. It would be roughly three months before coming to conclude that…

Jon Hamm, Annette Bening, and Adam Driver spoke about their characters in The Report during the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival. Solzy at the Movies was one of a number of outlets to attend the press conference in September. I first saw The Report during Sundance and it’s an important film with regards for American history. In addition to the three actors, they were joined by writer-director Scott Z. Burns, producer Jennifer Fox, and former…
"The Report: Talking With The Cast" With some very strong acting performances, The Report follows a Senate staffer’s thorough investigation into the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program. Even though the film starts with the beginning of the investigation in 2009, the flashbacks date back to 2001. Daniel J. Jones (Adam Driver) was tasked with researching the CIA while working as a staffer for U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. This followed a 14-1 vote by the Senate Intelligence Committee. As an…
