Media update & whatnot

If you’re looking for a documentary with a star-studded cast, spend an hour & a half in the studio with Lionel Richie, Cindi Lauper, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross & Michael Jackson in The Greatest Night In Pop. #MovieSky #FilmSky

If you need more animation in your life, hit play on Wendell & Wild for 105 minutes of a bizarrely funny adventure! #MovieSky #FilmSky

Danielle Deadwyler! That’s all you need to know to understand why Piano Lesson should be in your cue. Malcolm Washington’s directorial debut stars his brother John David & puts Samuel L Jackson back on your screen bringing August Wilson’s work to life with a fantastic ensemble. #MovieSky #FilmSky

One thing about me….. way too many half-baked selfies in the car

You can almost never go wrong with Miyazaki’s animation and Spirited Away is among the greatest. Chihiro is a delightful hero, the fantasy is enchanting & immersive, and themes of resilience & strength soar throughout.

Little Richard: I Am Everything is engaging, thought-provoking, and brings some energy & fun throughout. The origins of Rock N Roll are too-often whitewashed and this documentary delves much deeper to reveal true inspirations of the genre.

First up, A24’s Civil War from Alex Garland. Action, drama, timely themes re: reporting & government, and less than 2 hours. Kirsten Dunst & Wagner Moura are great while Cailee Spaeny & Stephen Henderson may surprise you.

Hold on. Hold. On. HOLD ON. Her sister was a WITCH, RIGHT? & what was her sister? A PRINCESS. The wicked witch of the East, bro! You’re gonna look @ me & you’re gonna tell me that I’m WRONG? AM I WRONG? She wore a crown & came down in a BUBBLE dawg. Grow up bro! Grow up! (I’m seeing #Wicked today)

Looking to explore more international films? Look no further than Wim Wenders’ Perfect Days. Koji Yakusho anchors a calm & contemplative movie that will immerse you in a journey of how one man finds joy & meaning in everyday mundane happenings.

You might need a #WeekendWatch that makes you laugh & lets you zone out from the world. If so, press play on Babes! Completely irreverent comedy stocked with plenty of laughs, especially if you appreciate dry & self-deprecating humor.

All of us Strangers is well-acted, compelling, emotional, and hard to look away from. Paul Mescal at his best, Claire Foy & Jamie Bell in exceptional supporting performances, and Andrew Scott as the show-stopping lead.

Another excellent circuit court confirmation under the Biden-Harris administration. This time, Embry Kidd to the 11th CCA.

It was dark before 6 pm & all I can think about is going to the beach 😏

Shout out June Squibb! #Thelma wasn’t as funny as I wanted & definitely slower at times. Plenty of heartfelt moments & good performances to make it a solid movie! We need more movies featuring older leads!!

Emilia Perez, The Teachers Lounge, & Daughters are all great choices. From a surprising Zoe Saldana, a defiant teacher facing pushback, and a powerful must-see documentary, you’re bound to find something you enjoy in one of these as your next #WeekendWatch

Oh the people said post more photos. Oops!
