What will be memorable this weekend in our movie theaters? I have my doubts. You know the monthly drill, folks. I will sift through the pages of the Los Angeles Times movie section and give you my gut reaction to the fare on the big screen.
If only I could be at that palace on Gramatan Avenue one more time. The office building is still there. The movies, however, are not.
22July: A movie about over 70 kids killed in a Norway terrorist attack back in 2011. So, a musical?
Beautiful Boy: Steve Carell's now annual attempt at getting an Oscar. Give it up already!
The Old Man and the Gun: Robert Redford's final film. Maybe. He is already backtracking just like Cher and Barbra did with their so-called farewell tours.
Venom: Probably about the Democratic party.
The Sisters Brothers: An old fashioned western with John C. Reilly, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Joaquin Phoenix...three names that don't hold a candle to John Wayne.
Colette: All about the French novelist and I am stifling a yawn right now.
A Star Is Born: Reviewed here recently. Avoid it at all costs if you are a fan of any other version of this movie.
First Man: Neil Armstrong lands on the moon and this is one movie I am looking forward to.
The Kindergarten Teacher: Maggie Gyllenhaal stars and it's good to see both brother and sister are working these days.
Can You Ever Forgive Me: All about famed celebrity biographer Lee Israel as played by Melissa McCarthy and the last two words just turned me completely off.
The Great Buster - A Celebration: All about Buster Keaton as told by Peter Bogdanovich and I can't wait.
The Advocates: A documentary on the homeless crisis in LA. Will somebody send a copy of this to that dumbbell mayor Eric Garcetti?
Big Kill: Gamblers back in the Old West. Also not starring John Wayne.
Brampton's Own: A career minor leaguer tries to restart his life. Hmmm. I could see this.
Change in the Air: A woman with mysterious ways. Starring Rachel Brosnahan of "Mrs. Meisel" and my new girlfriend.
Charm City: A documentary about crime in Baltimore. Hopefully it focuses first on City Hall.
An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn: Who???
Galveston: A mob hit man on the lam. I doubt we'll hear the wonderful Glen Campbell song.
Halloween: Jamie Lee Curtis is back in this reboot of the original thriller and I am oddly attracted to this.
London Fields: A dying American author and an English seductress and here comes that pesky yawn again.
High Voltage: The lead singer of a rock band is struck by lightning. Fill in the rest as you so choose.
Mid90s: All about a LA skate shop back when. I'm yawning yet a third time.
The Super: Tenants have gone missing in an apartment building. I guess they didn't fill out the proper repair forms.
Bigger: Uh oh. The "B" word.
The Oath: Who the fuck is Tiffany Haddish?
Night School: And I am asking that question again.
Fahrenheit 11/9: Michael Moore's latest stab at making up shit and calling it a documentary.
Reach: A suicidal teen. I guess they cancelled "Riverdale."
Thunder Road: A Texas police offer and I am doubting we'll hear the Bruce Springsteen song.
What They Had: Two grown children deal with aging parents. Hey, I did it all by myself!
Wildlife: Domestic drama in 1960s Montana. In case you were wondering what life was like in 1960s Montana.
Dinner last night: Chopped Chinese chicken salad.
