Heading out to the theaters or snuggling
up by the fire to see a new movie is
my favorite thing to do 'cause baby.
It's cold outside I found the
fire and no one, I'd rather
snuggle up to then Kim Holcomb,
King, 5 evening hosts and movie
critic is here to share your movie
pics for this time of year.
This time of year, too. I mean,
you know this is when they release
all of the big ones that they're
hoping will be potentially Oscar films
is that why they do it at this time
of year there's summer or Christmas
season holiday season right.
And summer often is just the blockbusters
where they want to make a lot of money,
and this time of year, it's the,
you know, sometimes more art house films,
the ones that are gonna get nominated.
But there's also some big
blockbusters coming out like sing too.
Yeah, I know every kid has
been looking forward to this.
It is super cute.
If you liked the original one,
you're going to like this one.
OK? Good 'cause I hate sometimes
when you get a sequel and it's
just not as good as the first, but
it's this one. I will say it's not
just about the characters who are
returning, but the new character
who is a lion is played by.
Someone that everyone who's an 80s or
90s kid is gonna be very excited about
Bono. No wait wait, my bonnet actual bono
from U2 who in addition to having
an excellent singing voice,
also has a great voice acting
voice and U2 has an original song
in the movie and two songs are
kind of throughout the movie,
so there's a little nostalgia
for the parents with this one
as well. For that I am here for
that second one that's really
catching peoples eye right now.
Was West Side Story.
They've rebooted this one.
It is it good, extraordinarily
good, and it's. It didn't do that well at the
box office when it opened this past weekend,
which is really sad because it is incredible
that Steven Spielberg directed it.
It is very true to the original in
terms of the music and the time period,
but it is also very modern in terms of some
of the choices that they make in the movie.
One of the things that I thought was
fantastic is that Spanish is spoken
throughout the movie without any subtitles.
Because of course these are half of the
cast is from the Puerto Rican community,
so they would be speaking to
each other that way.
So I guess my point is, it is a very.
Original take on a classic film
and I highly recommend it.
It's just excellent.
Plus, Rita Moreno.
She's in it again,
playing in different parts of it.
She's amazing.
She just turned 90 and she could
get nominated for the Academy
Award that she won for the
first time this movie came out
firing actress. I have a chills,
chills, OK, the tragedy of Macbeth,
yes, which you told me before we
started the segment that you're not
supposed to say that out loud, but not
on a stage or something.
You have to walk. Usually out.
This is like a Scottish.
Actors tractors transitioning OK, but we
have to say it 'cause
it's the name of the film.
OK, and this one stars Denzel.
So I mean for a lot of people
that's enough reason to go see it.
It's also a Coen brothers film,
so the way they really, yeah,
the way they have staged
it is very interesting.
The fates there.
I love it because I'm kind
of you and I share this.
We're kind of Shakespeare wonks.
Yeah, and it is true Shakespeare
they're speaking his language that full.
It is black full well
they condense some of it,
otherwise it would be like 4 hours long.
But yes, it is very true to the
original Denzel is great, however.
Lady Macbeth played by Frances Mcdormand
to me is the entire reason to see this bomb.
She's just incredibly the
Raven himself is hoarse.
Oh wait,
until you see how they do the witches.
Oh God, I can't wait.
OK, so moving on, yes,
two movies that are just
streaming right now.
The lost daughter.
This movie is possibly my favorite
of the year other than Dune,
and it is the complete opposite of
a blockbuster that you will see.
It's a very quiet film
starring Olivia Coleman,
the Amazing British actress.
Amazing, amazing.
Dakota Johnson also stars in it also.
Amazing truly and it was directed
and produced and written for
the screen by Maggie Gyllenhaal,
who is known for her acting.
She is a pitch perfect
director with this film.
There is truly not a
false note in this movie.
Daughter get lost in the movie.
I can't tell you what happens,
but it's essentially about an older mother.
Olivia Coleman meeting a younger mother,
Dakota Johnson,
on vacation and there.
Instant connection triggers Olivia's
memories of things that happened with her
own daughters while she was that age.
Oh, so it's?
It's about how parenting isn't Pinterest,
it isn't.
It's messy,
and there are choices that we
make as women as mothers that
may be viewed wrong by some.
But it's also just life,
alright.
Well, OK, I don't know if I'm emotionally
able to watch that right now.
But before we, we got only a little
bit time left, so the tender bar.
Let's talk about that quickly.
OK, quickly, this is a movie.
Headed by George Clooney,
starring Ben Affleck.
Based on a best selling memoir, it I.
I didn't love the movie as a whole,
but some scenes are so good that I
really feel like it's worth seeing.
It's gonna open in limited release
December 17th and it will stream on
Amazon Prime in early January. Love
it. Alright, last two minutes.
Of course I had to ask you what
your favorite holiday movies are
'cause you are the one who knows.
Yes, OK, so hard to pick.
Obviously Elf we watch it.
I mean you can't not watch elf,
but my holiday tradition with
my husband is every year on new
or on Christmas Eve rather.
After the kids have gone to bed,
we watched Love Actually and I just
worse you do that with my whole heart.
It's so British and it's so hilarious
and funny and people have written
articles about why it's not a good movie.
And I think those people not
a good movie find.
They need to find a little joy in their
lives because it makes me so happy.
OK, I love this is actually maybe one
of my favorite Christmas movies as well.
I don't you know what.
Here's the deal. I don't really
love Christmas movies to be honest.
Yeah my grandma, she'll sit there
and watch Dickens for days.
Oh, I don't.
But I love this movie.
So I'm here for
I hear you do love one holiday movie
though that you should probably
movie share with arrested.
I watch now every holiday season
is called dashing through the snow.
What movies? And it's a hallmark movie.
Oh my gosh you a video of it.
OK so this girl, she's a crafter anyway.
They think that she's basically a
terrorist and this guy is an undercover
FBI agent and he has to decide whether or
not she's really a person of interest.
Anyway, they fall in love.
I feel like this is not.
I feel like this is a Saturday
Night Live sketch. And not
a real movie. It's so good I'll
put it on my list because
I love and trust you.
Maybe just come to my house and watch it, OK,
we'll snuggle up next to
the virtual fire. I love it.
I'm so grateful for you.
Thank you for sharing that.
I really hope you like my movie pics.
Cannot wait to watch all of them.
I'll probably even watch the
lost daughter and a lot of cute.
Just issues around, alright?
