'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood' is just what we need right now

11/27/2019

Picture
Last year we got an intimate look into Fred Roger's life in Won't You Be My Neighbor? 
This year, Tom Hanks zips up the iconic sweater as Mr. Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighbor. The story follows the interactions between Mr. Rogers and journalist Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys) as he endeavors to write a profile on the children's show host. What we see is a biopic that is as stunning as it is touching. Hanks masterfully fills Fred's shoes and Rhys' performance is heartfelt. We highly recommend this film.

The best films are the ones that you have zero expectations for and then you leave thoroughly surprised and entertained. That was "Ford v Ferrari" for us. As two women who know nothing about cars, we loved this film. Take a listen to hear why.

'Doctor Sleep' is a snore

Doctor Sleep picks up with Danny Torrence years after the events at the Overlook Hotel. Still traumatized, Dan struggles with alcoholism and is searching for peace. But the past comes back to haunt him when he meets teenager, Abra who gives off an incredible "shine." Together they fight the cult members who tried to feed off of those who shine in order to gain immortality. Despite the star-packed cast, Doctor Sleep left us scratching our heads more than satisfied.

'Harriet' gives Tubman 'superpowers' and cheapens her story

11/12/2019

Picture
Harriet attempts to tell the whole life of Harriet Tubman in the span of two hours to mediocre success. The theatrical Harriet has "superpowers" and loses momentum as it tries to inject action while condensing her incredible story.

​Roland Emmerich's Midway is a sprawling epic of a war film that highlights this decisive battle in the Pacific. Fast-paced, thrilling, and illuminating, "Midway" is everything Pearl Harbor tried to be and missed. Take a listen to hear why we loved it.

Poking fun at Nazis isn't new, but 'Jojo Rabbit' is still fresh

11/4/2019

Picture
From Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator to Mel Brooks' The Producers, we have been fed a parade of the absurd when it comes to Nazis and their ideals. Now Taika Waititi can add his name to the list of directors who take a swipe at Germany's greatest shame. In Jojo Rabbit we experience the waning days of World War 2 through the eyes of a dedicated Hilter-fan, 10-year-old Jojo. A staunch believer in das Führer to the point of imagining Hitler as his imaginary friend, Jojo aims to be the best little Nazi that he can be. 

But his image of the world begins to change when he discovers a Jewish girl hiding in his house. Confronted with a reality that doesn't match the propaganda, Jojo grapples with what to believe in. 

Hilarious to the point it's not, Jojo Rabbit is a dark satire that is a must-see this fall.
