This looks utterly magical! I loved every second of this, especially Dick Van Dyke dancing and “Oh, yes, you too,” and the bathtub and the animation and MERYL STREEP. Can’t wait.

We mourn the loss of the 20th century’s greatest American comedy writer, Neil Simon, and of Barbara Harris, the effervescent star of films like “Nashville,” “Freaky Friday” (the Jodie Foster version), and “A Thousand Clowns.”
Here Harris appears in one of Simon’s films, “Plaza Suite,” with Walter Matthau as a suburban mother meeting with her lecherous former boyfriend, a Hollywood producer, for the first time since they were teenagers.
May their memories be blessings. And may this sad news inspire us all to revisit their best work.

Writer/director Sean Anders based this film on his real-life family. I’m ready to have my heart warmed!
Here’s the story behind the story.

Viggo Mortensen and Oscar winner Mahershala Ali star in “The Green Book,” based on the true story of black musician Don Shirley and the white driver/bodyguard who took him on tour through the America South of the early Civil Rights era. Before Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, public accommodations like hotels and buses were allowed to discriminate on the basis of race. The Negro Motorist Green Book was a guide to the places that black people could stay in the South without problems. (About Comics has re-published the original 1954 edition.) The movie is directed and co-written by actor Peter Farrelly (“Twilight,” “The Big Kahuna”), and it will be in theaters this November.

Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins (“Moonlight”) is making a new film based on James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk and this teaser trailer looks like it is going to be magnificent.
