Movie Monday - 5/13/2025

I didn’t have many appointments or tasks last week; so, I watched more movies than I have in a while. I don’t have a book going right now; so, that might have contributed to my having more time.

 

The documentary Family Band: The Cowsills Story answered my question, “Whatever happened to the Cowsills?” It was interesting.

 

A bereaved couple enlist the help of a company to see their deceased son again in The Resemblance – a short film. This company gathers information about the deceased and with its extensive book of actors, creates a person to fill in a desired role. It was poignant.

 

Nicole Kidman, Gael Garcia Bernal and Matthew Macfayden star in Holland. Holland, Michigan is a quaint little town with big secrets. There’s breaking and entering, murder, adultery and, of course, the Tulip Festival. It was darkly entertaining.

 

Breaking News in Yuba County is a little madcap – it kind of reminded me of Fargo. There’s abduction, adultery, the mob, money laundering, murder and comedy. Allison Janney, Mila Kunis, Awkwafina, Wanda Sykes, Ellen Barkin and Juliette Lewis are among the stars. It was entertaining.

 

Alan Alda, Carol Burnett and Rita Moreno were in the cast of The Four Seasons (the 1981 film) about three couples who would take seasonal trips together. When one couple divorces and brings his new squeeze along, dynamics change. I watched it after watching the streamer (see below). It was cute.
