Heather: A CHARMING TEEN
ROMANCE AND AN ENGAGING
INDEPENDENT DRAMA ARE AVAILABLE
FOR YOUR HOME VIEWING!
AND HERE TO REVIEW "BOWL" AND
"THE HALF OF IT" ARE FILM
CRITICS CHUCK KOPLINSKI AND PAM
POWELL.
WE'RE GOING TO START WITH YOU,
CHUCK.
HOW ARE YOU?
Guest: GREAT, HOW ARE YOU?
Heather: GREAT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT "THE HALF OF
IT".
ARE THESE NEW MOVIES JUST
RELEASED ON STREAMING?
Guest: "THE HALF OF IT" IS
GOING TO BE ON NETFLIX.
AND PAM IS GOING TO HANDLE THAT.
I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT "BULL"
WHICH IS GOING TO BE ON VIDEO ON
DEMAND STARTING FRIDAY.
THIS IS VERY MUCH LIKE "THE
FLORIDA PROJECT" AS WELL AS A
FILM WE LIKED CALLED "LEAN ON
PETE".
IT EXAMINES AMERICAN POVERTY AND
HOW PEOPLE LIVE ON THE EDGES,
THE MARGINS AND EVERY DAY IS A
STRUGGLE AND DEFINES YOUR
CHARACTER.
IT DEALS WITH A YOUNG GIRL, 13
YEARS OLD, AMBER.
HER MOM IS IN JAIL.
SHE'S LIVING WITH HER GRANDMA
AND LITTLE SISTER.
SHE'S HAVING A HARD TIME BEING
DRAWN TO A NEGATIVE CROWD AT
SCHOOL AND SEEMS TO BE ON THE
PATH HER MOTHER HAS TAKEN.
HOWEVER, SHE GETS TO KNOW IN ANG
ODD WAY, THE NEIGHBOR, RALPH
MORGAN, AND HE'S A BULL RIDER.
HE IS AT THE END OF HIS ROPE,
BUMMED UP AND BANGED UP QUITE A
BIT AND LIVES ON HIS OWN.
THE CONNECTION AND FRIENDSHIP
THAT THESE TWO FORM OVER THE
COURSE OF THIS FILM, IS VERY
REALISTIC, BUT IT'S VERY, VERY
MOVING.
THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE VERY
LONELY.
AND THEY REALLY HAVE NO ONE ELSE
IN THEIR LIVES.
AND THEY END UP FORMING A
STRANGE FRIENDSHIP THAT ENDS UP
GETTING THEM THROUGH ROUGH
SITUATIONS.
MANY OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS MOVIE
HAVE NEVER ACTED IN IN A FILM
BEFORE.
AND THAT GIVES THE WHOLE THING A
SENSE OF AUTHENTICITY THAT I
LIKE.
AND THE FINAL SCENE, WOW!
THE FINE SCENE IS ABSOLUTELY
HAUNTING.
A MOVIE I WILL NOT SOON FORGET.
"BULL", A VERY SOLID DRAMA YOU
CAN GET ON VIDEO ON DEMAND
STARTING FRIDAY.
Heather: ALL RIGHT.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH PAM WHO IS
GOING TO TELL US ABOUT "THE HALF
OF IT".
Guest: NETFLIX GIVES US A
NEW SPIN ON THE CLASSIC TALE.
SHE STANDS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB
IN HER SMALL OREGON TOWN.
SHE'S ASIAN.
AND SHE'S INCREDIBLY SMART.
WRITING EVERYONE'S ENGLISH
PAPERS.
WHEN PAUL, THE FOOTBALL PLAYER
WANTS A LITTLE BIT OF HELP
WRITING LOVE LETTERS TO HIS
CRUSH ASTOR, ALI AGREES TO DO
SO.
IT
IT'S ELOQUENCE THAT WINS OVER
HIS HEART.
THE FILM HITS CURRENT THEMES OF
ACCEPTANCE AND IDENTITY.
AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE HIGH
SCHOOL POPULATION.
YOU CAN CHECK THIS ONE OUT
BEGINNING ON FRIDAY, MAY 1st, ON
NETFLIX.
Heather: IT'S REFRESHING TO
HEAR MOVIES THAT BOTH OF YOU ARE
LIKING AND ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO
CHECK OUT RATHER THAN THE MISSES
THAT WE SOMETIMES HAVE HEARD OF
BEFORE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED.
Guest: IT'S NICE TO SEE ALL
THE CHOICES THAT WE HAVE.
CHUCK AND I SEE A LOT OF FILMS
AND PICK OUT THE BEST OF THE
BEST, BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO SEE
GREAT FILMS, TOO.
Heather: DOING THE TOUGH JOB
FOR US.
Guest: THAT'S RIGHT.
Heather: CHUCK HAS SOMETHING
TO SHARE.
