The History of Sound, Him, Sunday Best

Movie 1: The History of Sound

This is an intentionally slow moving story, with beautifully muted colors and cinematography.  Two young men meet in a bar and discover they have a mutual love of music, and eventually a love of each other.  But as WWI is about to start, that is a love that cannot happen.  The gorgeous soundtrack is loud and fast moving, in direct contrast to what we are watching on screen.  The acting is perfect, as you would expect from two top notch actors.

Movie 2: Him

Supposedly a movie about an up and coming football quarterback, at a private training camp, this horror film is anything but.  We aren’t sure how or why this movie is in theaters, but our advice is to stay far, far away.  An expensively made mess.

Movie 3: Sunday Best

This is an absolute gem of a documentary.  It tells a story about Ed Sullivan we knew nothing about.  It’s an hour and a half of wonderful footage and powerful commentary.  And more than appropriate for these bleak times.  On Netflix.
