DEAR FRIENDS:

MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK-

1) WILL & HARPER– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Three years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: his? dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman.”

10/6/24- Excellent reviews by the critics and good ones from audiences. It is more a story of friendship then anything else.

2) OUR SOULS AT NIGHT– 2017. Synopsis by Netflix. “Though widow Addie Moore and widower Louis Waters have been next-door neighbors for decades, they’ve scarcely had any contact since their spouses died. But everything changes when Addie, looking to make a connection, pays Louis a visit.”

This is what I wrote 7 years ago when I saw this movie for the first time. TRDB.

9/29/17- Very good reviews from the critics and OK ones from audiences. TRDB.

9/29/17- Jane Fonda and Robert Redford were great together and the movie was enjoyable as well. TRDB. Netflix Streaming.

NEW MOVIES IN THEATERS AND/OR STREAMING-

1) FOOD AND COUNTRY– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “Trailblazing food writer and best-selling memoirist Ruth Reichl examines the precarious state of America’s food system. Reaching across political and social divides, she meets with small farmers, ranchers, and chefs risking it all to survive. Through Reichl’s eyes, we see the humanity and struggle behind the food we eat.”

10/7/24- Weak early reviews for this documentary. TRDB.

2) BLINK– 2024. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “When three of their four children are diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare and incurable disease that leads to severe visual impairment, the Pelletier family’s world changes forever. In the face of this life-altering news, Edith Lemay, Sébastien Pelletier and their children set out on a trip around the world to experience all its beauty while they still can.”
