Apple TV, episodic, war, , , ,

Airmen risk their lives with the 100th Bomb group, a brotherhood forged by loss, courage and triumph.

Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, Masters of the Air follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group, known as “Bloody Hundredth.” The men conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. 

Masters of the Air portrays the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich. 

Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.

My daughter read Daniel James Brown’s The Boys in the Boat because her swim coach recommended it. She talked incessantly about how good it was, describing it as an underdog story.

Genuine and Daring “Emma” Poster, Clips, Trailer

Directed by Autumn de Wilde, we have another angle of Jane Austen’s flair for writing intriguing stories that are not only funny but revealing.

Austen’s popular comedy is about finding your equal and earning a happy ending. Her story reimagined is a delightful innovative film adaptation of her book Emma. We follow handsome, intelligent, and rich, Emma Woodhouse, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, who is a restless queen bee without competitors in her sleepy little town. 

In this glittering satire of social class and the pain of growing up, Emma must adventure through misguided matches and romantic missteps to find the love that has been there all along.

Wilde’s directing credits are light, but the movie looks good as the trailer shows how funny and silly the film will be. The rest of the cast includes Johnny Flynn, Bill Nighy, Mia Goth, Miranda Hart, Josh O’Connor, Callum Turner, Rupert Graves, Gemma Whelan, Amber Anderson, Tanya Reynolds, and Connor Swindells.

The next two clips show how funny the movie is with the silliness of situations and characters.

“The Only Boy Living in New York” Trailer and Clips

drama, , , , ,

Directed by Marc Webb, whose eclectic work includes 500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-man, and Gifted brings a nice little tale that’s been played before. Yet, this one has a similar scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s.  You gotta love New York City, rain, taxi cab, and good-byes.

The movie has a pretty decent cast with familiar faces including Callum Turner, Jeff Bridges, Kate Beckinsale, Pierce Brosnan, Kiersey Clemons, and Cynthia Nixon.

The story follows a recent college graduate who is adrift in New York City and seeks the guidance of an eccentric neighbor as his life is upended by his father’s mistress.

I watched the movie on Amazon and totally enjoy the story.  The actors are great and the scene with Brosnan and Turner is incredible.
