Daniel Tiger and Mr. Rogers. *swoons*
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, y’all. Why? Because the first trailer for the Mr. Rogers documentary has been released. Synopsis!
From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom), Won’t You Be My Neighbor? takes an intimate look at America’s favorite neighbor: Mister Fred Rogers. A portrait of a man whom we all think we know, this emotional and moving film takes us beyond the zip-up cardigans and the land of make-believe, and into the heart of a creative genius who inspired generations of children with compassion and limitless imagination.
Won’t You Be My Neighbor? comes to our neighborhood in theaters June 8, 2018.
Nutshell: There’s no doubt that Lin Shaye is an incredible actress that brings top-notch talent to this series as psychic-in-charge Elise. There is, however, serious doubt that this series can continue, considering how it scrapes up the usual jump scares and night-vision tactics that have been a staple of the “other realms” horror subgenre. Last Key is a lot of scary fun, but if this franchise is to continue, there needs to be fresh…blood. Grade: B
Happy 2018 y’all! Ready to get your New Year passes on? Good, because I’ve got passes for Den of Thieves. Synopsis!
Ah, Blumhouse. You are so much fun. As with Lionsgate, you’ve established yourself as a studio where I can go for some fun scary stuff. And with the new trailer for Truth or Dare, fun scary stuff looks to be the rule of the day. Synopsis!
Bairns, bodhrans and brogues…. Doesn’t everyone want to be in Scotland? Disney/Pixar is really hoping you do, with the release of their newest animated feature, Brave. I liked it. But I really, really wanted to love it. So that’s where the empty little hole in my soul is coming from. Though it is good to see that archery is the new black this season, with Brave taking up the bow & quiver alongside Katniss from The Hunger Games and Hannah’s…Hannah. Why before you know it, we’ll even get the vote! 
Nutshell: Dynamic performances, and a story about a moment in the Nixon White House where the POTUS tried to break the First Amendment. Echoes of the current administration can’t be denied. Definitely one of my Top 10 films of 2017. Perhaps my #1. Just go see it. Grade: A
