“The Good House,” Starring Weaver and Kline

Co-written and directed by Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky, The Good House follows Hildy Good, played by Sigourney Weaver. Hildy is a wry New England realtor and descendant of the Salem witches.

Thomas Bezucha also co-wrote the script with the directors. Bezucha’s credits include writing and directing Let Him Go and six episodes of the Secret Invasion mini-series. 

 She loves her wine and secrets, yet her compartmentalized life unravels as she rekindles a romance with her old high-school flame, Frank Getchell, played by Kevin Kline. She becomes dangerously entwined in one person’s reckless behavior. 

The situations ignite long-buried emotions and family secrets, propelling Hildy toward a reckoning with the one person she’s been avoiding for decades — herself.

The Good House additionally stars Morena Baccarin and Rob Delaney.

Tom & Jerry

“Tom & Jerry” Amazingly Flips Exciting Genuine Cartoon

Tom & Jerry

Directed by Tom Story, Tom & Jerry stars several voice actors, which is a concern. The original classic cartoons had no dialogue, and it entertained kids of all ages. Why change it?

All is not lost since the feature film uses archive recordings of William Hanna. Hanna performed all the original shrieks, howls, screeches, yells, gasps, and screams heard in the cat and mouse cartoons of 1942 to 1957.  

The second theatrical movie is the first rendition as live-action and animation. It is Warner Bros.’s first animated/live-action hybrid movie. It’s been 28 years since the release of the first Tom and Jerry in 1992.

The voice actors include Michael Pena, Chloe Grace Moretz, Rob Delaney, Colin Jost. The script is by Kevin Costello based on William Hanna and Joseph Barbera characters.  Costello’s screen credits appear limited with Brigsby Bear and one episode for the Jean-Claude Van Johnson series.
