Movie Monday - 12/31/2018

The documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor? is about the life of the beloved Mr. Rogers. His wife, sons and sister appear in the film. I miss him. It was good.

Chappaquiddick is a dramatization of Ted Kennedy and the accidental drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne. It gave good insight on the machinations that followed the event. Jason Clarke plays Kennedy and Kate Mara plays Kopechne. It was interesting.

Robert Redford, Sissy Spacek and Casey Affleck star in The Old Man and the Gun. It's based on the true story of Forrest Tucker, who led a life of crime and even escaped prison to continue his line of work. It was very good.

Based on a true story, Green Book chronicles the music tour by classical and jazz pianist Don Shirley that he takes in the Deep South in the 1960s with his driver/body guard Tony Vallelonga. Mahershala Alli and Viggo Mortensen star and it's really good.

Eighth Grade, starring Elsie Fisher is about the angst of middle school/almost high school. It was cute.

Happy New Year to all!

MK out.
