From “The Batman” to “Avatar 2,” 2022 is full of giant blockbusters to get you back into the theaters. So what are this year’s most anticipated films? Take a look.
Tye Sheridan is good as the older J.R. Maguire in the new Amazon film “The Tender Bar.” Co-starring Ben Affleck, Lily Rabe, Daniel Ranieri, and Christopher Lloyd, the film is an adaptation of Moehringer’s memoir and how the folks around him become his inspiration.
I’ve loved Lily Rabe since I first saw her in “American Horror Story: Murder House.” Now, she’s starring with Ben Affleck in “The Tender Bar” from director George Clooney. In the film, she plays Dorothy Moehringer, the mother of author J.R. (played in the film by Daniel Ranieri as the young J.R. and the grown-up is Tye Sheridan).
Aaron Sorkin wrote and directed the new biopic “Being the Ricardos” starring Nicole Kidman as the great Lucille Ball and Javier Bardem as her partner-in-crime, Desi Arnaz. I spoke with the filmmaker about his interest in creating the film and his talented cast.
Filmmaker Sam Mirpoorian created a short documentary about the resilience of the human spirit. The film is called “Sonnie” and it’s about Deon “Sonnie” Casey. He’s a single father trying to provide a better life for his son. The documentary follows him as he finds strength and solace hoping that things will soon get better.
Nick Kroll returns to the world of “Sing” for the sequel. He memorably voiced the character of Gunter the singing and dancing German pig who helped Rosita in the first film. This time, Gunter is helping create the show!
