awards and two Oscars, including

no angle on the material. It is about
two people who are destined for one
another, and that’s that. And that
was fine with me.” – Roger Ebert,

Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. In a nutshell,
the movie follows jaded magazine writer Lloyd
Vogel (Matthew Rhys) during his assignment to
write a profile of Rogers (Tom Hanks). Through his journey, Vogel overcomes
his skepticism and learns about empathy, kindness and decency. Rated PG
Director: Marielle Heller
Writers: Tom Junod (inspired by his article, “Can You Say...Hero”)
Cast: Tom Hanks, Matthew Rhys, Chris Cooper
“The power of this film comes from Vogel’s voyage into Mr. Rogers’ life. The
cynical writer is initially convinced that Fred Rogers can’t really be as good
as he seems; he must be hiding something…Tom Hanks ably projects Fred
Rogers’ personality…his portrayal is as warm and soothing as a zipped up
cardigan on a chilly day.” – Kirsten Hawkes, parentpreviews.com

on a downward spiral of revolution
and bloody crime, and his path brings
him face-to-face with his alter-ego, the
Joker. imdb.com Rated R
Director: Todd Phillips
Writers: Todd Phillips, Scott Silver
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz
“From his first appearance, Joaquin Phoenix is all-in on a representation
of the man who would become a legendary comic book villain as
a mentally unhinged loner…What I’ll remember most about Phoenix’s
performance is its physicality. He contorts his arms and face in ways
he hasn’t really before, capturing a man who looks like he’s uncomfortable
in his own skin.” – Brian Tallerico, rogerebert.com
