Rebel in the Rye is the story of the life and mind of the legendary and secretive author J.D. Salinger. Through his rebellious youth, the bloody front lines of World War II, enduring great love and terrible loss, a life of rejection to the pages of The New Yorker, and the PTSD-fueled writer’s block that led to the birth of his iconic book “The Catcher in the Rye.”
The cast includes Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men: Days of Futures Past), Kevin Spacey (House of Cards, American Beauty), Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story, Carol), Brian D’Arcy James (Spotlight, Mozart in the Jungle), Victor Garber (Sicario, Milk), Zoey Deutch (Before I Fall, Why Him?) and Hope Davis (American Crime, Real Steel).
Written and Directed by Danny Strong and adapted from Kenneth Slawenski’s biography, “J.D. Salinger: A Life,” Rebel in the Rye is financed by Black Label Media with Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill producing alongside Academy Award winner Bruce Cohen, Jason Shuman, and Strong.
The film is set to open on September 15, 2017.
George Miller’s Mad Max series finally got the budget to make Miller’s truly insane version of the post-apocalypse come to life last summer. The result was one of the best films of the year, and the most lauded summer blockbuster (10 nominations) that I can recall the Academy ever noticing. The film is just insane. Explaining it to someone who hasn’t seen it, is nearly impossible. It’s gorgeous and grotesque and SO BIZARRE! Nowhere is this better exemplified than in the first real chase scene in the film where Max (Tom Hardy) is strapped to the front of a car as a hood ornament/human blood bag (yep, read that right) and the entire mad convoy is accompanied by my favorite non-Star Wars character of 2015: inexplicable flaming guitar guy. The convoy has an entire truck dedicated to a guy playing a guitar spewing flames and is backed by enough amps to deafen the world. That’s the kind of gonzo awesome weirdness that made Fury Road such a pleasure. What a lovely day!
Mad Max: Fury Road, the fourth film in the franchise and first in 30 years, has received the kind of critical and audience praise usually reserved for Pixar classics. Tom Hardy takes over the titular role from Mel Gibson and, while there are Easter eggs for series fans, this is really a fresh start for the franchise. I apologize for the tardiness of this review. I actually first saw the film Thursday night and I’ve been stewing on it since then and decided I needed a second viewing to write a fair review. So, after two viewings, is Mad Max worth the hype?

I know, I know, Mad Max was first, but I’ve played several hundred hours of the three Borderlands games over the last few years and when I look at this movie, I think it’s midget shootin’ time (that probably sounds really bad if you haven’t played the games). They’ve certainly gone all out in trying to resurrect the Mad Max franchise. The fourth installment starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult hits theaters on May 15, 2015.
