Your Weekend Movie Guide for October 2021

 

Ah, those were the days.   Radio City Music Hall.  A great movie and a stage show.  When you actually had to leave your home to be entertained.

These days, you can choose to see the movie in the theater while wearing a mask.  Or simply never get off your couch and watch it on some streaming service which will lull you into a fitful nap within 15 minutes.

You know the drill, gang.   I'll sift through the LA Times Movie Guide and give you my gut reaction to what's playing in the theaters.

And more than likely on your TV.   

No Time To Die:   The latest 007 caper.  This was the very first casualty of the pandemic as it was supposed to open in March 2020.   They finally put it out two weeks ago.   And, just for the record, Daniel Craig is not my favorite Bond.

Tom Petty, Somewhere You Feel Free:  Let me guess who this is about.

The Last Duel:  14th Century France with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Adam Driver and Not Me.

Bergman Island:  A bunch of filmmakers investigate an island where Ingmar Bergman lived.   Now if they were researching Ingrid...

Venom - Let There Be Carnage:   Otherwise known as Congress.

The Rescue:  Boys stuck in a cave in Thailand.   Which is redundant.

Lamb:  A childless couple in Iceland find something alarming in their barn.   I wonder if the woman's name is Mary.

Titane:  A metal highly resistant to heat and corrosion.  I'm not kidding.  That's the logline for the movie.

Mass:  Years after an unspeakable tragedy tore their lives apart, two sets of parents agree to talk privately in an attempt to move forward.  Stifling the biggest yawn ever.

I'm Your Man:  A woman and her robot.   I wonder if it's made of Titane.

The French Dispatch:  Wes Anderson captures on film the final issue of this magazine.   When was the last time you read any magazine?   Doctor's office doesn't count.

Dune:   This is a reboot of a movie I never saw the first time.

Halloween Kills:  Jamie Lee Curtis' annual paycheck.

The Addams Family 2:  Not live action.  And, for the record, I always preferred The Munsters.

Dinner last night:  Chili dog at the Dodger game.
