Film Review of EYE FOR AN EYE, Winner of a 2025 Tribeca Festival Special Jury Mention As Well As Best Editing

An affecting, morally intricate nonfiction film that does more than expose a legal system (unlike that in western countries): It humanizes it via compelling editing, emotional stroking, and fearless storytelling that invites reflection on justice, retribution and mercy. A must-see for anyone interested in legal ethics, women’s rights and bravura internationally informed storytelling.

MR. BLAKE AT YOUR SERVICE! Film Review – Starring John Malkovich, Directed by Gilles Legardinier

This dramedy is off the proverbial chart for rating movies. Because of its exquisite narrative pacing – as if every second and every frame and every scene of the 1 hour, 40 minute film is sacrosanct – it is deceptively brilliant regarding acting, writing, directing cinematography and everything else. – Review & Article by Gregg W.

A new era is born. This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth.

Anchored by superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH shows an extraction team racing to the most dangerous place on Earth – more dangerous than Mar-a-lago is for Democrats pols hated by TACO – an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that left behind.

Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.

Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett who is contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinosaurs, they all end up stranded on a ferociously inhospitable island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.

Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team member; Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.

The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben’s family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs’ crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).

Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of last summer’s blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer.

MONEY TALK$ is a daring and poignant unsentimental portrait of a society on the brink.

By tracing the path of a single banknote, the film invites viewers to reflect on the moral and societal costs of economic survival, making it a standout work in contemporary short filmmaking. – Review by Gregg W.

ALL ALONE TOGETHER Film Review

Because this is a micro-budget film, audiences expecting special effects will be disappointed with quality in this film though there are a few scattered here and there that are decent.This is a psychological film, more driven by dialogue and performances than effects.
