More New Films..


The Irishman 2019 is the newest Martin Scorsese gangster crime film.. based on the 2004 book I Heard You Paint Houses.. by Charles Brandt.. Starring some of the most memorable gangster actors of all time.. Robert DeNiro as (Frank Sheeran) .. Al Pacino as (Jimmy Hoffa) .. Joe Pesci as (Russell Bufalino).. along with Ray Romano, Harvey Keitel and many others.. I loved this movie.. and ended up fact checking a lot of the details after the film..  In the film (DeNiro) who plays Frank is a truck driver who becomes a mob hitman and gets involved with mobster Bufalino (Pesci) and his crime family.. including his time working for the powerful Teamster Jimmy Hoffa (Pacino) who was tied to organized crime.. I really loved this film... totally epic to see some of the most memorable gangster actors together again... even aged these men are undeniably the most mesmerizing gangster actors of all time.. and while I didn't know a lot about Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance and/or death.. the history given in the film.. along with the controversial accounts of the 60s and 70s is truly intriguing.. A must see film for all the gangster crime film fans out there.. Amazing..  Trailer   Explanation 


 A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood 2019  .. was at least for me somewhat of a disturbing drama.. The film was inspired by a 1998 article in Esquire magazine titled " Can You Say ... Hero?" by Tom Junod.. The film stars Tom Hanks as the beloved children TV personality Fred Rogers .. and the unique relationship that Mr. Rogers developed with Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys) a journalist who is assigned to profile Mr. Rogers for Esquire magazine .. Even though I was never a huge fan of the Mr. Rogers TV show.. I decided to see the film and was thrown off guard at how much the movie revolved around Vogel's own dysfunction.. and childhood trauma.. I also found Mr. Rogers behavior to be questionable.. as well as off pudding..  I agree the persona that Mr. Rogers played on screen was thoughtful and beloved.. but in my opinion the film portrayed Rogers persona to be over the top in a somewhat disingenuous way..  NOTE.. In reality .. the journalist from Esquire was Tom Junod but Junod asked that his name by changed for the movie..  For more information..
