The Royal Tenenbaums

Hello Moviemainers,   

The film for the month of November is The Royal Tenenbaums, the most popular of Wes Anderson's films.   This is the story of a family with three children and their success at a young age and then problems as an adult.   Gene Hackman is wonderful as the father.  Alec Baldwin narrates the film.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and do not forget to email me and let me know that you enjoyed the film.

The Crystal Ball

Hello Moviemainers,   

We are in the month of October and I usually like to choose a scary movie for the month of October but I do realize there are a lot of you that do not like a scary movie ( my favorite film for Halloween is The Uninvited ).    I have already done that film I still watch it every Halloween it is a tradition in my world.    The film I chose is The Crystal Ball 1943 starring Ray Milland and Paulette Goddard.   This is the story of a beauty Queen that becomes a fortune teller.   I hope you enjoy the film.   

Please send me an email and let me know and Happy Halloween to you.

Rushmore

Hi Moviemainers,   

Yes I am one day late in sending this out, I am winding down a bit on my gardening projects and will have more time soon (note from Carl... and I added another week to the delay!).  

The film for the month of September is Rushmore 1998 Starring Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray.   This is a Wes Anderson film with writing also being done by Owen Wilson.   A student strikes up a friendship with a older man when they both fall for a teacher.   This film is considered number 34 of the 100 funniest films ever made.  This is the film that resurrected Bill Murray's career.   I hope you enjoy I thought choosing a film about school during the month of September was fitting.

The Vanishing

Hello Moviemainers,   

How sad is this July has turned into the same weekend as Memorial weekend cold and raining, which brings me to the film for the month of July.  A British film called The Vanishing 2018.   This film tells the story of three lighthouse keepers who arrive on the island to start their 6 weeks of lighthouse keeping.   A body and a  boat and a box of gold shows up on shore and what happens next?  This is a psychological thriller it takes place in 1900.   The Isle of Flannan is 20 miles off the coast of the Isle of Lewis which is off Scotland.    There are no living residents on the Island and the lighthouse is now currently automated.   

I hope you enjoy this film.   Please leave a comment if you like the film or not.
