WELCOME TO HAMILTON WALKERS.
Guest: OH, MY GOSH.
Guest: LOOK AT THIS!
Heather: ISN'T IT AMAZING?
Guest: IT'S HARD TO HAVE IT
THERE.
Guest: HAMILTON WALKERS HAS
NOT LOST ITS STUFF.
BEEF TENDERLOIN, WRAPPED IN
BACON AND CRAB CAKE.
IT ALL LOOKS FANTASTIC AND
SMELLS GREAT!
HAMILTON WALKERS HASN'T MISSED A
BEAT!
THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME FOR
DINNER AND YOU THEN YOU GO HOME
AND WATCH A MOVIE OR GO OUT AND
WATCH A MOVIE.
WE'RE SWITCHING UP.
I'M THE ONE REVIEWING A MOVE SEE
THAT YOU STAY HOME FOR.
Heather: THAT'S SURPRISING.
PAM IS NOT A FAN OF GOING OUT.
Guest: "CRITICAL THINKING"
IS ONE TO CHECK OUT AT HOME.
IT STARS JOHN LAGUZAMO.
HE PLAYS A GUY MARIO MARTINEZ.
IT'S A FILM THAT TAKES PLACE IN
1998.
HE CONVINCES THE POWERS TO BE TO
LET HIM TEACH A CLASS CALLED
"CRITICAL THINKING".
HE TEACHES THEM CHESS.
NOT JUST CHESS.
BUT THE VARIOUS MOVES AND
MANEUVERS.
AND HE TEACHES THEM HOW TO APPLY
THESE THINGS IN THEIR LIVES.
THERE'S ALWAYS A MOVE TO BE MADE
AS FAR AS MAKING SOMETHING OUT
OF YOURSELF.
THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT HE GETS
ACROSS.
IT FOCUSES ON FIVE YOUNG MEN WHO
HAVE VARIOUS PROBLEMS IN THEIR
LIVES AND THE SUCCESS THEY FIND
ONCE THEY ENTER THE TOURNAMENTS
IN THE AREA AND THE STATE
TOURNAMENT IN MIAMI.
YOU CAN DISMISS THIS MOVIE AS
BEING ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE
TEACHERS INSPIRED THE STUDENTS,
NO ONE BELIEVED IN MOVIES.
BUT THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN
THAT.
THIS IS A MOVIE FOR THIS MOMENT
THAT SHOWS KIDS WHO ARE PUSHED
TO THE WAYSIDE, THEY'RE
MARGINALIZED BECAUSE OF THEIR
BACKGROUND AND HERITAGE, BUT
WHEN GIVEN A CHANCE, THEY
SUCCEED!
AND APPLY THESE THINGS TO THEIR
LIVES.
IS IT HOKEY?
YES.
BUT IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT FILM.
AND A MOVIE THAT GAVE ME HOPE.
THAT'S SOMETHING REALLY THAT WE
NEED RIGHT NOW.
Heather: IT'S AVAILABLE FOR
STREAMING AT HOME.
Guest: ON VIDEO ON DEMAND.
I KNOW YOU LIKED IT.
Guest: I DID.
I'M EXCITED THIS IS OUT.
IT WENT THROUGH THE FESTIVALS.
IT'S TIMELY.
IT WAS A YEAR AGO I SAW IT AND
MORE SO NOW.
I DIDN'T FIND IT TO BE HOKEY AT
ALL.
I FIND IT TO BE VERY HEART-FELT.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Guest: I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS
HOKEY.
I SAID YOU COULD DISMISS IT AS
THAT.
BUT IT'S SINCERE.
THANK YOU FOR THAT
CLARIFICATION.
I LIKE HAVING THE MICROPHONE.
Guest: I BET YOU DO.
Heather: TELL ME ABOUT THE
"BROKEN HEARTS GALLERY".
IT'S A FILM OUT IN THEATERS
STARTING FRIDAY.
NATALIE IS THE WRITER AND
DIRECTOR OF ROMCOM AS WE CALL
THEM.
THEY'RE A GENRE.
EVERYBODY LOVES THE ROMANTIC
COMEDY.
THIS IS DEFINITELY GEARED FOR 20
OR 30 YEAR OLDS AS CHUCK SHAKES
HIS HEAD BECAUSE HE'S NOT 20 OR
30 AND NOT FEMALE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DISMISS HIM
FOR THAT AS WE TALK ABOUT LUCY
PLAYED BY GERALDINE, WHO PLAYS
LUCY, A YOUNG ART DIRECTOR AT A
GALLERY ARE, AND HER DREAM IS TO
BE IN NEW YORK CITY AND HAVE HER
OWN GALLERY.
SHE HAS AN ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS
BOYFRIENDS.
SHE COLLECTS MEMORABILIA FROM
THEM AND BECOMES A HOARDER.
AND HER GIRLFRIENDS CALL HER OUT
ON THAT AS SHE'S IN A NEW
RELATIONSHIP WITH MAX, WHO IS
GOING TO BECOME AN EX.
SHE MEETS NICK.
A HANDSOME YOUNG FELLOW.
THEY HIT IT OFF BUT THEY BECOME
FRIENDS FIRST AND FOREMOST.
THIS IS A SWEET STORY.
A LITTLE RAUNCHY AS TIMES BUT
NOTHING THAT I THOUGHT.
Heather: WAS THIS BASED ON A
TRUE STORY?
Guest: NO.
THE MEMORABILIA SHE COLLECTS
BECOMES THE BROKEN HEART
GALLERY.
SHE ASKS PEOPLE TO DONATE ITEMS
SO THEY CAN RELEASE THEMSELVES
FROM BEING TRAPPED IN THE TROVE
RELATIONSHIP.
IT'S A COOL CONCEPT.
Guest: SOMEONE SHOULD DO
THIS.
THERAPY THROUGH ART.
Heather: THAT'S SHOCKING
THAT YOU BOTH AGREE.
Guest: WITH THIS MOVIE
ESPECIALLY.
WE HAD A PREVIOUS CONVERSATION
PRIOR TO FILMING.
THIS IS A VERY PREDICTABLE FILM.
THOUGH, I DID LIKE SOME OF THE
THINGS THEY INTERSPERSE WITH THE
INTERVIEWS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
GONE THROUGH HEART ACHE OR
BREAKUP AND HAVE DONATED AN ITEM
TO THE BROKEN HEART GALLERY.
I CAN SEE -- I'M GOING TO USE MY
FEMALE CARD ON THIS ONE.
IT WAS WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY A
WOMAN, BECAUSE SOME OF THE MALE
DIALOGUE AND LINES YOU CAN SEE
AS THEY WERE UTTERING THEM, THEY
DIDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY WERE
SAYING.
I'M GOING TO FORGIVE IT THAT.
I HAD FUN WITH THIS MOVIE.
IT'S PLAYING IN THEATERS AND
CHUCK IS DYING TO SAY SOMETHING.
I ACTUALLY LIKED IT.
[LAUGHTER]
Heather: WE'RE GOING TO FALL
OVER.
Guest: IT TOOK AWHILE BUT I
WARMED TO IT AND LIKED IT.
Guest: I HAD FUN WITH THIS.
COOL.
Heather: WE'VE GOT WINNERS
TO ANNOUNCE.

LUCKY VIEWERS.
Guest: WE DO.
WE HAVE FOUR WINNERS TO SEE
"TENET" IN THEATERS.
