Ritchies

Guy Ritchie’s back with another signature mix of dapper and unsavory criminals who get into all sorts of drug-dealing mischief in a new Netflix series. Meanwhile over on HBO and Max, Kate Winslet reigns supreme in a moldy political satire, “The Regime.” If you need some good laughs, John Cena provides plenty, and even steals the show from Zac Efron and company, in Amazon Prime’s “Ricky Stanicky.” Here’s our roundup. “The Gentlemen”: Netflix’s eight-part series showcases the best qualities of filmmaker Guy Ritchie. That…

History is about to come alive again on the 2024 movie schedule, as director Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is an action/adventure film that looks to cover a part of World War II not widely discussed. With this covert ops movie drawing the likes of Argylle’s Henry Cavill and Reacher himself Alan Ritchson into the cast, things already sound like they’re going to be quite explosive on the big screen. As Ritchie seems to be in full on can’t stop/won’t stop mode at this phase in his career, those action…

Director Guy Ritchie is famous for attracting A-list actors throughout his career, as he's shown through his frequent collaborations with Jason Statham, compiling the star-studded cast of 2019’s The Gentlemen, and getting Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law to play Sherlock and Watson. The filmmaker’s next movie proved this again as it will see John Krasinski and Natalie Portman playing brother and sister. Plus, the adventure at the center of the film sounds like it will be a blast. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Guy Ritchie has…

That’s him as the swashbuckling love interest in The Princess Bride, and as director Mel Brooks’s spoof outlaw in Robin Hood: Men in Tights. The dashing Brit, playing a tortured cancer surgeon, even cut off his own foot in the first Saw. None of those roles made him as much of a household name as his Nineties co-stars – that’s also him…

With the Bond franchise taking itself rather seriously these days, and Bond himself missing in action, there’s a vacancy for a wise-cracking, globe-trotting secret agent with a taste for the high life. And Jason Statham hereby throws his hat into the ring. In this flashy but hollow action adventure from Guy Ritchie, Statham plays Orson Fortune, a spy with a formidable skill set and an expense account to match. Orson’s team, including minxy tech genius Sarah (Aubrey Plaza), is employed by the British government to…

After briefly disappearing into the Hollywood machine, steering IP-based franchises rather than creating his own films, Guy Ritchie is having something of a Shyamalan-esque B-movie reinvention. The big-budget bloat of Aladdin, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and The Man from Uncle (fondly remembered by some but wisely forgotten by most) has gone and, instead, there’s a renewed sense of purpose, a returned vitality that had gone missing. While the director has not exactly regressed to his roots per se, he has focused more…

`Guardians of the Galaxy` star Alexis Rodney will soon be seen in `The Gentlemen`, Guy Ritchie`s Netflix series inspired by his own 2019 Miramax action comedy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Theo James (The White Lotus), Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul), Kaya Scodelario (Crawl), Daniel Ings (I Hate Suzie), Joely Richardson (Lady Chatterley`s Lover), Peter Serafinowicz (The Tick), and Vinnie Jones round out the ensemble cast, which also includes Rodney, who recently shot the dark comedy Young Gun (Lock, Stock…
