Friday Night Special - The Lower Depths

The Interned (2015)

Starring: Robert De Deniro, Amy Adams Directed by: Dame Nancy Meyers Rating: PG Genre: Drama

Review Director and former basketball wunderkind Meyers ("The Diaper", "Hungry Architects", "Dog Walkers 2: The Elder Strolls") knocks it out of the park yet again with this chilling, sexy thriller about young people and the old people who won't stop calling them on their land lines. Adams ("Beaver People", "Diverticulicious: The Eating of Julia Child") stars as a put-upon web "billionaire" whose startup rockets to the top of the intertubes by providing a mobile "app" that matches up women terrified of commitment with men so old that it shouldn't be an issue. De Deniro, so fabulous as the fat, psychopathic rabbi in Dayvid Fincher's "Rabbid" turns yet another cheek as a man so old and so unpleasant that Adams can't resist him. Some will have to look away as they commit sex in the New York Athletic Club's members-only humidor. But if there was ever a reason for 3-D dimensional, this was it. Include me in!

To Thine Known Self Be True

What Do You Know (2010)

Starring: Gabrielle Reece, Paula Rugg, Jack Nicholson, Stubby Shavers Directed by: Jim Brooks Rating: PG-13 Genre: Tragedy Other

Review Once a year a fish known as a "grunion" beaches itself by the millions in the wet sands of San Diego in order to bring forth the next generation. And just as regularly "Jim" Brooks beaches himself on the boards of Hollywood to produce a film that will spawn a million imitations by never-shall-be's like Judge Apatown and "Jim" Jarmusch. "What Do You Know" (a subtle but appreciative nod to Dante's "Milton Lost") concerns a number of attractive people and Jack Nicholson doing what they do best - being the kind of people you know and that you are. And Jack Nicholson.  Like the piscatorial connoisseur, reap this little harvest of joy before Mr. Brooks shuffles off this little blue coil. You won't be disappointed. Note to Arwen - No, Ms. Witherspoon is clean-shaven.

The Lioness Roars Tonight!

The Lion in Winter (1968)
<><>

	Starring: Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn Directed by: Anthony Harvey Rating: PG Genre: Classics Other
Review Katherine Hepburn has never been sexier than she is in this movie! If you've been waiting for her "breakout" role, this is it! The music is wonderful, particularly Peter O'Toole's moving rendition of "If Ever I Should Leave You." Great flick, but put the kiddies to bed early!!!
