It’s a new month, Y’all! What do you plan to accomplish this month? I’m hoping to watch tons of movies. I think I’m off to a good start.
I Care A Lot is about a woman who defrauds old people, by being named as their guardian. She gets help from an unethical physician and an unsuspecting judge. She gets more than she bargained for with her latest mark. Rosemund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Dianne Wiest, Alicia Witt and others star in this film. It was good.
Based on a true story, The Trial of the Chicago Seven covers the arrest and trial of a group of anti Vietnam War factions who came to Chicago to protest during the Democratic National Convention in 1968. Many big names star in this film, including Sasha Barron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne, Michael Keaton, Mark Rylance, Frank Langella and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It was very good.
Set five years after the Civil War, News of the World, features Tom Hanks as a former Confederate officer now traveling around Texas reading news stories to crowds for ten cents a person. He encounters a 10-yr-old girl who had been taken by the Kiowa Indians years prior. She is now to return to her biological aunt and uncle, and the job falls to the captain. Together, they navigate the treacherous terrain. It was really good.
Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer star in Like Father. Rachel is a busy, young executive who gets dumped on her wedding day. Unbeknownst to her at the time, her estranged father had come to her wedding. Later that night, he goes to her apartment to offer some moral (and liquid) support. In her drunken state, Rachel ends up asking him to join her on what would have been her honeymoon cruise. It was cute.
MK out.
