More New Films..

The Professor 2019 - is a comedy-drama film written (originally titled Richard Says Goodbye).. starring Johnny Depp.. and gotta say it is truly an extraordinary film .. and perhaps at least (for right now) one of my favorites..

In the film Johnny Depp plays an English Professor, hence he plays the starring role.. and to be it simply the film starts with him receiving the diagnosis of what is stage 4 lung cancer.. and given 6 months to live if he decides to abstain from intervention.. and only up to a year if of course he tries to fight the cancer..

Grim to say the least.. I also would have picked the 6 months after all no one wants to die trying to fight something and be sicker than a dog only to fight a losing battle.. So anyway in the film he decides to live his best life in what little time he has left.. forgive any infidelity by his wife.. at least in theory.. after all why carry that burden .. he wasn't the one to have the affair.. and try new things after all he has nothing to lose.. and now ..well now it seems futile to fight fate .. why not embrace it.. 

The film is truly gut wrenching, inspiring and thought provoking.. A definite must see film..


Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile 2019 - is a biographical crime thriller told from the view point of serial killer Ted Bundy's former girlfriend Elizabeth Kendall.. The film is based on Elizabeth Kendall's memoir The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy.  The film stars Zac Efron as Ted Bundy.. I truly loved this film.. it details not only the background of how Kendall met Bundy but how he did his best to manipulate her .. as well as others.. It is gripping, informative and truly disturbing.. Definitely worth watching.. and I agree with the description.. Ted Bundy was a shockingly evil and vile serial killer..


Long Shot  2019 - is a romantic comedy that follows a gifted, "say it like it is" journalist Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) who after running into his former babysitter and childhood crush Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron)..who is now the United States Secretary of State .. Charlotte impulsively hires Fred to be her speech writer after deciding to run for the presidency.. This movie is definitely entertaining.. the chemistry between the two of them possibly could have been better.. but of course ..(Theron) is playing the Secretary of State.... The film definitely has a lot of charm and is well worth watching.. 

I also thought the film did a great job at delivering a satirical look at some of our politicians of today.. and being transparent and standing up for what you believe in is always the best policy..
