Movie 1: The Fabelmans

This is a marvelous semi-autobiographical film based on Stephen Spielberg’s adolescence. An aspiring young filmmaker explores the wonders of movie making while growing up with antisemitism in New Jersey and Northen California. The acting, writing, directing and cinematography should all be Oscar nominated at the very least. A wonderful don’t miss movie!

Movie 2: The Good Nurse

This Netflix movie is based on a true story. An ICU nurse is suspected of killing several patients in New Jersey. The movie is intentionally slow as each character develops and becomes fascinating. Excellent acting by Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne.

Movie 3: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

A tech billionaire has a party on his private Greek island, inviting several friends to a murder mystery game. Daniel Craig is a famous detective trying to solve the mystery. This movie does not take itself seriously. The all star cast and whodunit atmosphere make for a fun movie. Currently in movie theatres but will be on Netflix December 23.

Movie 1: The Menu

This is a dark comedy/horror film about a world class chef that sets up a lavish dinner on a remote island. And there happens to be more on the menu than just Michelin star food. Ralph Fiennes, as the chef, sets the tone perfectly.

Movie 2: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

If you saw the first Black Panther you will very much enjoy this sequel. The acting, cinematography, action and costumes are all first rate. The star studded cast makes this movie fun to watch. Angela Basset is always wonderful.

Movie 3: Ticket to Paradise

This is a romantic comedy set in Bali, Indonesia. Julia Roberts and George Clooney play the divorced parents attending their daughters wedding. Their chemistry together is marvelous. While not a great film, this movie is a whole lot of fun.
