BEAUTIFUL.
A Good Person&nbsp;is&nbsp;a GREAT movie!
Morgan Freeman, Florence Pugh, Celeste O'Connor, Chinaza Uche... strong actors every one, and the film's so powerfully moving (in every direction) it'll cut you to the bone.
Zach Braff done good!!
We left slack-jawed, then jawed all the way home raving about it :-)
DEFINITELY worth seeing if you can get there.
Here's hoping you will, and that it doesn't get buried beneath one Johnathan "Gun Fu" Wick this weekend!

A Good Person

It's incredible.
8.6 on IMDB and worth every point of that.
Speaking of numbers, felt like about 100 dudes lost their lives in this one.
Clocking in at 3 solid hours of gun fu, it's a lot to handle, but if you love Wick, you'll get your fill this go 'round, no doubt about that!
He aims to please.
Pew pew!

John Wick: Chapter 4

Great branding, 'meh' execution.
There are a slew of these 'limited series murder mysteries' out there, and I'd put this among the least of 'em.

Southern Gothic

Snarky and cute, precisely as it was intended to be.&nbsp;
Great fun.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

I enjoyed it, though this franchise isn't among my faves.
Seems I'm not alone: It limped across opening weekend at barely $30 million, a far cry from its aim.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods

Rambo and Braveheart meet John Wick in this slow-burn Irish vengeance thriller set amidst the 1845-1852 Potato Famine in<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">&mdash;you guessed it<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">&mdash;1847.
Robin Blakeley, this one has your number, my friend!
Granted, it's no Braveheart (not NEARLY that big, sweeping, or political, and not at all romantic), but this young man has some fight in him, that's for sure!
As they say, It ain't the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!
Getcha some.

Black '47

No bueno, and that's a bummer 'cause I usually enjoy Maika Monroe films.
This one, however, is just plain ol' boring and tedious.

Significant Other

I vaguely recall TerraVision.
Great documentary about how the CIA and Google robbed these Germans to create Google Earth ;-)

The Billion Dollar Code

What a strange little man!
A very interesting documentary, but, wow, the 1980s NOW feel like a lifetime ago.

Sin Eater: The Crimes of Anthony Pellicano

What a joyous, fun-filled, earnestly entertaining experience this film is!
Buoyant. Absolutely buoyant.
We laughed, we cried, we held our breath, we cheered.
Everyone in the theater loved it. It's a real crowd-pleasing, feel-good story.&nbsp;
I barely knew it existed, wondering a couple weeks ago what Woody Harrelson was so poorly promoting as host of SNL, so the film's a real sleeper, but a gem.
Do see it if you can, or if you need an emotional pick-me-up. I'm sure it'll run at least one more week.
Plus, with a 2 hour and 3 minute runtime, it's ample escape from one's everyday.
Champions&nbsp;is full of life, sincerity, and celebrating the tiny wins, not just gold medals or grand gestures.
Go, Fight, Win!!

Champions

It's only 93 minutes (!), but I loved it nonetheless.
It's sorta like Land of the Lost meets Interstellar, and with a budget somewhere right in between.
Filmed in Louisiana, Oregon, and Ireland, it's got a diverse topographical reach, which makes the film beautiful to look at.
Plus, the relationships between Chloe Coleman then Ariana Greenblatt with Adam Driver feel pretty special.
