Upcoming Releases — November


Here's a look at all the new releases headed our way in November!

Friday, November 4:
Dr. Strange — This is the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it's a bit different than the others. This one focuses on a different plane of existence. Directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Benedict Cumberbatch, it's one of the most anticipated films of the year.

Hacksaw Ridge — This is the latest film from Mel Gibson. It's about a soldier who refuses to carry a weapon or kill. It's drawn some good reviews and looks like it could be inspirational.

Trolls — A family-friendly entry for November. This one centers on the popular kids toy come alive and features the voices of Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake.

Friday, November 11:
Arrival — Starring Amy Adams, this thriller comes from the director of "Sicario." It's about the arrival of aliens, and what it might mean for humanity. It should be one of the best of the month.

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk — From director Ang Lee, this drama is about a soldier re-adjusting to life at home after a traumatic incident in battle. It should feature Lee's trademark stunning visuals.

Almost Christmas — This family comedy starring Danny Glover and Gabrielle Union is meant to help get you in the holiday spirit.

Loving — This indie drama starring Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton is about an interracial couple, and could be a key contender this awards season.

Shut-In — Naomi Watts takes the lead in this psychological thriller about a widower living in New England.

All Eyez on Me — This is a biopic of Tupac for those more interested in his life.

Friday, November 18:
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them — This is a story tangential to "Harry Potter" from JK Rowlings. It's likely to kick off a new series of films and could be one of the gems of the fall.

Bleed For This — Starring Miles Teller, this is a biopic of a boxer who, against the odds, fought his way back to the ring.

Edge of Seventeen — This film, from James L. Brooks, is about a girl struggling with her teen years. I like Hailee Stienfeld and Woody Harelson, and the trailer's pretty funny. I have high hopes.

Wednesday, November 23:
Allied — This WWII spy drama stars Brad Pitt and Marion Cottilard as a pair of married spies who might have something hidden between them.

Moana — This is the latest animated Disney adventure about a young Hawaiian girl and and the fabled hero she teams up with.

Rules Don't Apply — The latest from Warren Beatty finds him playing an older, reclusive Howard Hughes who decides to play matchmaker with a young actress and a driver.

Bad Santa 2 — This is a comedic follow up to the unlikely Christmas classic. It again stars Billy Bob Thornton, who is joined by Kathy Bates, in another misanthropic heist adventure.

Friday, November 25:
Miss Sloane — Jessica Chastain takes the lead in this story about a lobbyist. But it's also a story about gun control, so expect some political perspectives.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju...

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...
