Your Weekend Movie Guide for November 2023

 

Well, one long nightmare is open.   The legendary and now restored Egyptian Theater in Hollywood is back in business after being closed since March 2020.  Netflix has pumped some dollars into this restoration.   The streamer will run their stuff during the week but weekends will be programmed with classic films by the American Cinematheque.

So now, we at least have an option than just piling into an AMC outlet to see the latest junk Hollywood is promoting,  You know the monthly drill, gang.  I'll drift through the movie listings and give you my knee-jerk, gut reaction to what's polluting our screens.

Of course, you could opt for whatever the Egyptian is unspooling.

The Marvels:  Never have, never will.

Five Nights at Freddy's:   Make it one night at home.

Priscilla:  From Sofia Coppola.   All about Mrs. Elvis.   Unless it covers the "Dallas" years, I'm not interested.

Killers of the Flower Moon:  Scorsese's latest and I hear good things.  But three plus hours???

The Holdovers:   I hear good things about this Alexander Payne comedy.  Met him several times when we shared the same hair stylist.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour:   Isn't this over yet?

What Happens Later:  Meg Ryan and David Duchovny are ex-lovers who reconnect in a snow-bound airport.  Wonder if they find their old careers there.

After Death:  A documentary about what happens after you...will, you know.

Dream Scenario:  Nicolas Cage keeps showing up in peoples' dreams.  Not mine.

Best. Christmas. Ever.: Has this look of an idea that Hallmark threw out.

The Hunger Games - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes:  Proud to say I have never gone hungry.

Journey to Bethlehem:   Mary and Joseph, you should have used Booking.com.

It's A Wonderful Knife:  George Bailey is such a cut up.

Saltburn:   A student at Oxford has quite the summer.   The trailer looks like a gay rom com to me.

Next Goal Wins:  Probably has nothing to do with the NY Jets.

Thanksgiving:  A slasher movie.  Turkey gravy isn't supposed to be red.

Radical:  Starring Eugenio Derbez.   Anybody?

Anatomy of a Fall:   The Dodgers in most Octobers.

Dinner last night:  Chicken noodle soup.
