Two movies opening today and both are very unique. First is, The Invitation. A DNA test proves that our star played by the darling Nathalie Emmanuel has a distant cousin. They meet and she is invited to meet the rest of her family at a family wedding in England. She goes and all hell breaks loose, but not in a funny way! This is a bloody, shocking so-so horror movie. (PG-13) – (100 Minutes) – (2 ½ Stars).
The other movie, Three Thousand Years of Longing. Tilda Swinton plays a braniac with no family who buys an odd artifact that turns out has a genie inside, played by Idris Elba. What does a genie offer, three wishes what else. However, this genie has his own surprising stories to tell which makes this movie fun and great story telling. Don’t want to be a spoiler but there’s a surprise ending. (Rated R) – (100 Minutes) – (3 Stars).
Movie News: For the record, according to the official Rust movie script, it reads. “Harland (that is Baldwin’s character) points the gun at the camera and shoots.” Baldwin was never suppose to point the gun at any person, even if just rehearsing! So why in the world would he ever point it at the cinematographer who was standing 10 feet from the camera. Alec’s going to jail.
TV News: Don’t forget the second episode of House of the Dragon is Sunday on HBO and if you missed the first episode, you can see it before the second episode airs.
Odd story from L.A. but everything is odd in L.A. A new play called Lavender Men has just opened and revolves around Abraham Lincoln being gay and his relationship with his law clerk. My question, who cares if Lincoln was gay?
Sports Shorts: I predict when we talk on Monday, the Little League World Champs will be from Honolulu, Hawaii. Championship game Sunday.
And story that George Foreman has been accused of sexually abusing two 14 year old girls 47 years ago. I know George and don’t believe that for a minute.
