DEAR FRIENDS:

I HOPE TO SEE “CIVIL WAR” THIS WEEK AS IT IS SHOWING NEARBY-

QUICK LOOK AT MY FAVORITES OF THE WEEK- NONE

MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK-

1) THE LONG GAME– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “In 1956, JB Peña and his wife moved to the small town of Del Rio, TX, partly for a job as a school superintendent, but mostly to fulfill JB’s dream of joining the prestigious, all-white Del Rio Country Club. So when JB is rejected on the basis of his skin color, he is devastated. But his world soon collides with a group of young Latino golf caddies who work at the country club, and JB is inspired by the handmade course the boys built in the country to teach themselves golf.”

4/21/24- Fair reviews from the critics and very good ones from audiences. TRDB. I think that it was a feel good movie saved because it was basically a true story. A bit too much lecturing us on how to get ahead in life. TRDB.

NEW MOVIES IN THEATERS AND/OR STREAMING-

1) STRESS POSITIONS– Weak reviews

2) WE GROWN NOW– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “In 1992 Chicago, as Michael Jordan solidifies himself as a champion, a story of two young legends in their own right begins. As wide-eyed and imaginative best friends Malik and Eric traverse the city, looking to escape the mundaneness of school and the hardships of growing up in public housing, their unbreakable bond is challenged when tragedy shakes their community just as they are learning to fly.”

4/21/24- Very good reviews for this drama. TRDB.

3) EGOIST– 2023.  Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Based on Makoto Takayama’s semi-autobiographical novel, director Daishi Matsunaga’s EGOIST is a uniquely sexy and heartfelt drama about family. Kosuke, a fashion magazine editor in his mid-30s, revels in the blessings of his comfortable lifestyle. When he hires Ryuta, a personal trainer, in order to get into shape, he gets more than he bargained for.

4/21/24- Fair reviews from the critics and very good ones from audiences. TRDB.
