DEAR FRIENDS:

QUICK LOOK AT MY FAVORITES OF THE WEEK-

_____________________________________________________________________

MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK-

1) ONE LIFE– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Based on the book If It’s Not Impossible…: The Life of Sir Nicholas Winton by Barbara Winton, ONE LIFE tells the incredible, emotional true story of Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton (Johnny Flynn), a young London broker who visits Prague in December 1938. In a race against time, Winton convinces Trevor Chadwick (Alex Sharp) and Doreen Warriner (Romola Garai) of the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia to rescue hundreds of predominantly Jewish children before Nazi occupation closes the borders.”

3/14/24- Excellent reviews for this movie. TRDB.

3/19/24- I saw this movie and liked it very much. TRDB.

NEW MOVIES IN THEATERS AND/OR STREAMING-

1) THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MAGICAL NEGROES– Awful Reviews

2) THE TUBA THIEVES– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “From 2011 to 2013, tubas are stolen from Los Angeles high schools. This story isn’t about thieves or missing tubas. Instead, it asks what it means to listen.”

3/17/24- Excellent reviews for this docudrama. TRDB.

3) KNOX GOES AWAY– When a contract killer has a rapidly evolving form of dementia, he is offered an opportunity to redeem himself by saving the life of the adult son with whom he had been estranged. Poor reviews by the critics. TRDB

4) FRENCH GIRL– Terrible reviews- TRDB

5) ARTHUR THE KING– Poor reviews from the critics and excellent ones from audiences. TRDB

6) WILLIAM SHATTNER: YOU CAN CALL ME BILL– 2023. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “From make-believe starship captain to a real-life rocketman, William Shatner has led one of the most unique and best-lived lives on the planet. And while the actor William Shatner may be recognizable around the globe, the man behind the masks is even more interesting than the iconic roles he’s played.”

3/22/24- Good to excellent reviews for this documentary. TRDB.
