Movie Review Friday: And I’ve been waiting a long time to share my thoughts on First Man, the Neil Armstrong story. It begins with his solo 140,000 feet test flight with a life threatening malfunction, and that’s just the beginning. Set 1961-1969, about a very quiet, complex, brave man, the first man to walk on the moon. The politics are shocking, visually stunning, and straight out riveting. Did I mention Ryan Gosling should get an Oscar nomination as Armstrong? Well he should. Armstrong’s personal battles are a big part of this, including the death of his infant daughter from a brain tumor. Claire Foy is also fabulous who plays his wife. Folks, this is an epic story and I guarantee you will love it. (Rated PG-13) – (142 Minutes) – (4 Stars)

Next is Beautiful Boy, the true story of a dad and son, drugs, life, death, relapses and what it does to them and the family from the dad and son’s very different point of views. The acting is solid with Steve Carell as the dad, and the son played by Tim Chalamet. … The story is compelling, sometimes disjointed, and continuity is sketchy and confusing. But even with all that, still a good film. (Rated R) – (112 Minutes) – (2 ½ Stars)

And here’s a movie that if you haven’t seen, I recommend you do on-demand or a rental. It’s Enemy Of the State, made in 1998 with Will Smith, Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, Gabriel Bryon, Lisa Bonet, Jack Black and many others. About the NSA, FBI, dirty politicians, a thriller that is 4 stars. Great film to watch at home.
