Well, we're getting set for the holidays here, too. I am anxiously awaiting the 2018 fare on the big screen. That starts now. You know the drill, guys. I'll sift through the movie pages of the LA Times and give you my gut reaction to what Hollywood has unleashed of late. Trust me. There will be no Doris or Rock or Rockettes.
Lamenting that news one more time.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs: Is that the guy who wrote the theme to the "Beverly Hillbillies?"
The Front Runner: Hugh Jackman as Presidential hopeful Gary Hart. For those who think scumbag politicians are a new thing.
Bohemian Rhapsody: At the box office, they are the champions.
Boy Erased: More internal gender debates. Welcome to Movie Dramas 2018.
A Star Is Born: Just checked. Yep, I still hate it.
First Man: Recently reviewed here. I wish I could like it. I didn't.
Can You Ever Forgive Me: A biopic about celebrity biographer Lee Israel. I've heard good things. I'm just trying to get over my Melissa McCarthy phobia.
Beautiful Boy: Blog review ran yesterday. Steve Carell shoots for another Oscar nomination. What else is new?
A Private War: A middle aged couple desperately tries to have a baby. How is this different than about 800 other movies?
Mid90s: Kids in a skateboard shop in Los Angeles back in the 90s. Directed by Jonah Hill so you have been warned.
The Old Man and the Gun: Robert Redford putting viewers into coma all across the country.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: Yep, it must be Christmas.
Maria by Callas: Gee, I wonder what this is about.
Wildlife: A kid in 1960s Montana fights fires. Will come in handy if he moves to California around 2010.
Widows: Five Chicago women plan a heist when their dead husbands leave them nothing. Viola Davis stars, so expect lots and lots of overacting.
The Gilligan Manifesto: A documentary about...yep...the worst TV show in history.
Green Book: A bouncer from the Bronx drives an African-American pianist through a concert tour in the 1962 Deep South. Remember the "Defiant Ones" with Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier. Well, this sounds like the same movie.
Instant Family: Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne foster a bunch of kids. Wasn't this done on TV back in the 70s about three dozen times?
Speed Kills: A multimillionaire speedboat racer also trafficks drugs. It stars John Travolta so you're being warned again.
Madwell, Farewell: A suicidal comic hires somebody to kill her. I can only hope this stars Rosie O"Donnell.
At Eternity's Gate: The final two years of painter Vincent Van Gogh. Snooze alarm please.
The Clovehitch Killer: A teenage boy discovers his dad may have killed 10 women. And they thought Harvey Weinstein was trouble.
Chef Flynn: A documentary about a renowned kid chef. I am curious.
Fantastic Beasts - The Crimes of Grindelwald: Oh, no. Is this more Harry Potter nonsense???
55 Steps: A mental patient and her attorney. I bet wackiness ensues.
Jonathan: Two brothers share the same body and fall for the same woman. Talk about contortionists.
The Long Dumb Road: Sounds like a documentary on the 405 Freeway but it's not.
Welcome Home: A couple vacationing in Italy gets caught up in a terrifying scheme. American Express. Don't leave home without it.
Tinker: A young man is fascinated with a secret machine he found in his father's journal. Wait till he finds out it's a VCR>
Dinner last night: Grilled steak salad,
