I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not a Wes Anderson guy. IMO it has been all downhill since his debut with Bottle Rocket. Quirky for the sake of being quirky does little for me.

This movie looked interesting so I asked for access to a screener and I am so glad that I did. The wife of Sophie's Choice author Bill Styron has lived a wonderful life and she generously shares. She's candid and very interesting to listen to her stories. On Prime Video.

It turns out that we did need another Indiana Jones movie. One where he could properly say goodbye. Dial of Destiny is a fitting close to this film series and I found the ending absolutely perfect. Still lots of action and humor left in Ford's performance.

Rose Styron is the widow of Sophie's Choice writer Bill Styron. In the Company of Rose is a doc about this woman and her life which is wonderful. She's honest and upfront about many things in her life without apology. Find it on Prime Video and enjoy.

Sound of Freedom is a harrowing film about the abduction and torture of children in our country. Jim Caviezel stars as a real life lawman who goes above and beyond to stop these crimes. It is a very good film but tough to watch for sure.

Probably the winner of multiple Oscars including Best Movie, Actor and Director. Christopher Nolan cements his position as our finest working director & Cillian (pronounced KILL ian) Murphy is excellent. Huge cast & no one misses a beat. Brilliant, brilliant filmmaking. A+

Haunted Mansion seems more like an after-thought than a fully realized & executed movie. For the most part a B-level cast, talented actors maybe but not garnering a lot of Oscar buzz. Story is silly & I anticipate (not) seeing this on the Disney Channel very soon. Grade C-

Lazy morning at Lake Panorama.

A De Santis volunteer just has the shortest conversation of his day in my front yard. One word, “nope”!

Sue and I just got back from an Open House at The Fleur Theatre which is back in business this weekend. The place looks exactly like it did before it’s closing. I mean exactly! And the popcorn and Coke. Heaven on Fleur. We will be back this weekend.

I confirmed last night at the Fleur Cinema's Grand Reopening that the Fridley folks will be playing the Taylor Swift concert film AND IN THE IMAX AT THE PALMS!!

Those who listened to Murph and Andy yesterday, I misspoke on a movie opening this weekend. I confused The Inventor (and animated film about DaVinci) with The Creator (a sci-fi film with John David Washington). With so few movies opening you'd think I could keep them straight!!

95% of the people who see the title for this movie will dismiss it as being stupid. Don't make that mistake this is a razor sharp comedy about the people created the the GameStop stock feeding frenzy a handful of years ago. Well written, directed and acted...see it. GRADE A-!

At the Civic Center with oldest son Tom!

Admittedly beautiful in the summer but I still love the fall better!

Great news in the paper today that we now have Kim’s rules on kids and how their pronouns are to be managed. No word on our out of control homeless issues, hungry children/families and failing test scores. We can do so much better and we should!

Three years ago today I had my prostate (full of cancer) removed. I met some wonderful doctors on this journey and thanks to them, chemo and radiation, and my wife and family, cancer is not detectable in my body today. Men 50+, schedule an annual physical and watch your PSA #!

According to Apple Music in the last year I’ve listened to 4,333 minutes of music. 777 of those minutes was Bob Seger. Sue won’t believe it isn’t higher. Another bigger was Rod Stewart Unplugged and Seated. This just tells me that it was a helluva great year!
