Movie Monday - 3/30/2020

Rosemund Pike and David Oyelowo star in the biographical drama, A United Kingdom. Future king of what later becomes Botswana, Seretse Khama marries white, Englishwoman Ruth and it sets off big divisions. His uncle, the Regent isn't happy. Her parents aren't happy. The English country isn't happy because of their relationship with South Africa. The people within his country aren't happy. It's a great story. 

In Widows, four thieves die in a police shootout during a robbery. Their widows attempt to steal five million dollars to pay a crime boss back two million. Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, Molly Kunz, Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell and others starred. It was alright.

Quiet Heroes is a documentary about Kristen Ries, MD and Maggie Snyder, the PA who worked with her. They were the only providers for HIV/AIDS patients in Utah in the 1980s. It was very good and very thought provoking. 

Wonder Woman is a DC Comic come to life. It tells her backstory and the circumstances that lead to her joining the League. Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright and Danny Huston starred. This genre isn't really my jam, but I was entertained.

Steve Coogan and Jon C. Reilly star in Stan & Ollie. The biopic tells the story about the grueling tour of performances in Britain as part of a campaign to get a film made, despite Hardy's failing health. The acting was superb. It was really good.

Stay home and stay safe everyone!

MK out.
