I apologize for being off the radar. Often, when I have something that I find difficult to approach, I can’t seem to do anything else. The Bad So here goes, I am going to start with not necessarily the Bad, but definitely the uncomfortable and wrong. Jojo Rabbit was a highly anticipated movie that was […] #BenedictCumberbatch, #CynthiaEnrivo, #EdSkeirin, #EmiliaClarke, #EmmaThompson, #Harriett, #HenryGolding, #HenryHunterHall, #JanelleMonáe, #JoeAlwyn, #JojoRa

I apologize for coming late to this party. A couple of people recommended this movie to us before we went to TIFF. We finally saw it this weekend and loved it. The Peanut Butter Falcon is an original story with a charming cast. It won the Narrative Spotlight Audience Award at SXSW 2019. I never […] #Adventure, #ArmoryFilms, #BonaFideProductions, #BruceDern, #Comedy, #DakotaJohnson, #Drama, #EndeavorContent, #KevinTent, #LuckyTreehouse, #MichaelSchwartz, #Na

The Sky is Pink Day 10 2019 TIFF started at the Elgin theater with a screening of The Sky is Pink. The is a beautifully made movie. Based on a true story, it is a tearjerker from beginning to end. But it is also sweet, funny and incredibly poignant. The family dynamics and community support […] #ABeautifulDayInTheNeighborhood, #AgathaChristie, #AmericanWoman, #CiboS, #KnivesOut, #PusateriS, #TheSkyIsPink, #TIFF, #TIFF2019, #TorontoInternationalFilmFestival, #

While we were at TIFF this year, they opened an extra screening to Joker. We thought about getting tickets but we had a reservation at Le Select. We definitely made the right choice; Le Select was a memorable meal. We finally saw Joker when it opened in Dallas. I thought it was a sad yet […] #BronCreative, #Crime, #DCFilms, #Drama, #FrancesConroy, #JeffGroth, #JoaquinPhoenix, #JointEffort, #Joker, #LaurenceSher, #RobertDeNiro, #ScottSilver, #Thriller, #

Honey Boy is another surprising film. I never really considered Shia LeBeouf (The Peanut Butter Falcon) to be a box office draw and then he seemed to get lost in the Transformer franchise. Apparently, he also got lost in some other areas. He wrote this script as a rehab exercise. It appears to have done […] #AlmaHarEl, #Automatik, #DelirioFilms, #DominicLaPerriere, #Drama, #HoneyBoy, #LauraSanGiacomo, #LucasHedges, #MonicaSalazar, #NatashaBraier, #NoahJupe, #

Coca-Cola plays an important role in some of Ford vs Ferrari’s best scenes. After all the sweets of the holidays we thought a good game watching savory would do the trick. Enjoy these Coco Cola wings with your family and friends. #CocaCola, #CocaColaWings, #Coke, #FordVsFerrari

We saw this remarkable film at TIFF 2019. The description had us loading up on Kleenex but the movie was surprisingly uplifting. Based on a true story, we view a marriage from the perspective of their younger daughter. The Sky is Pink is a heartwarming story that captures a couple’s struggle to keep their daughter […] #AndrewAlderslade, #Drama, #Family, #FarhanAkhtar, #IvanhoePictures, #ManasMittal, #NileshManiyar, #PriyankaChopra, #PurplePebblePictures, #Rom

Judy depicts the last year in the life of Judy Garland and her lifelong struggle with food, alcohol and pills. In the movie she is not even allowed to eat her own birthday cake as child. We would like everyone to be able to enjoy a delicious cake on their birthday. This is a lovely […] #BrownButterCarrotCarrotCake, #Cake, #CarrotCake, #Dessert, #Judy, #JudyMovie

This is the year of films based on magazine articles. Dark Waters, based on The New York Times Magazine article “The Lawyer Who Became DuPont’s Worst Nightmare” was a revelation all around. All I could think of was “Why didn’t I hear this story on the news?”. It came out of nowhere, suddenly I am […] #AffonsoGonçalves, #AnneHathaway, #BillPullman, #Biography, #DarkWaters, #Drama, #DuPont, #EdwardLachman, #History, #KillerFilms, #MarioCorreo, #M

The exciting ballooning scenes coupled with the nonlinear storyline keep this film moving right along. This film is based on an actual flight taken by James Glaisher but Amelia Wren is a fictionalized compilation of several female balloonists of the time, his actual co-pilot Henry Tracey Coxwell is completely omitted from the film. The chemistry […] #Action, #Adventure, #Biography, #EddieRedmayne, #FelicityJones, #FilmNationEntertainment, #GeorgeSteel, #HimeshPat

Both George Michael’s music and Kate’s Yugoslavian family play significant roles in Last Christmas. We found this recipe for Christmas cookies that would make a delicious addition to your holiday table. #Cookies, #Dessert, #LastChristmas, #YugoslavianChristmasCookies

Thanksgiving weekend is a popular time to see a movie in the theater. We thought we would remind you of some movies that we don’t want to fall through the cracks. Motherless Brooklyn is a movie that suffers from distribution challenges. It is only showing at one theater (the Magnolia on McKinney) in the Dallas […] #ABeautifulDayInTheNeighborhood, #FordVsFerrari, #GoldenGlobes, #GoldenGlobes2019, #KnivesOut, #LastChristmas, #MotherlessBrooklyn

Denise and Tony’s favorite movie at TIFF 2019 was Ford vs Ferrari. Kind of a buddy movie, with fast cars and silly businessmen thrown in. The chemistry between Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and Ken Miles (Christian Bale, Hostiles) seemed genuine. I thought the big business shenanigans were fascinating. The exhilarating car scenes kept my heart […] #Action, #AndrewBuckland, #Biography, #CaitrionaBalfe, #CherninEntertainment, #ChristianBale, #DirkWestervelt, #D

With such amazing actors you know the movie is going to be a good ride, in The Good Liar you’re just never quite sure who is driving. Helen Mirren (The Leisure Seeker) and Ian McKellen are excellent in their cat and mouse roles. Russell Tovey adds the right amount of counter point to the leads.

The Irishman got his start driving a meat truck. This movie is punctuated with scenes of different characters eating steak. In the film, The Good Liar, there is a pivotal scene that culminates in the marinating of steaks. We thought one of favorite recipes, London Broil, would be a good fit for both of these […] #ChimichurriSauce, #LondonBroil, #Meat, #Steak, #TheGoodLiar, #TheIrishman

Typical Scorsese, DeNiro (The Joker), Pacino and Pesci. The Irishman wasn’t a stretch for any of them. The reverse aging CGI is kind of cool, but I think they should have gone with younger actors. The CGI seems to have a 25-year swing and the movie covers over 50 years and these actors are all […] #AlPacino, #AnnaPaquin, #Biography, #CharlesBrandt, #Crime, #Drama, #JessePlemons, #JoePesci, #MartinScorsese, #NewYorkFilmFestival2019, #RobertDeNiro, #RodrigoPrie
