Show Notes
September winds down in unspectacular fashion here at Breakfast All Day with two new movies you're welcome to avoid.
We begin with "HIM," a horror film set in the world of pro football. Lots of style, cool production design and some striking cinematography, but it becomes overwhelming and -- eventually -- just plain silly. Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers and Julia Fox star. In theaters.
Then we discuss "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey," which isn't much better. Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie meet cute at a wedding, then get stuck on a magical realist road trip in a rented Saturn where they must return to pivotal moments from their pasts. Kogonada ("Columbus," "After Yang") directed, and we usually love him, but this is cloying and hollow. In theaters.
Finally, we have a lengthy Movie News LIVE! for you. We spent quite a bit of time on Jimmy Kimmel and Robert Redford, but we also discussed the new Taylor Swift movie and the trailer for "Anaconda." Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific. Thanks for being here!
- Join us before a showing of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER on opening weekend. We'll be at CinemaWest Beach Cities before the 6pm showing on Friday, Sept. 26. Say hello to us in the lobby bar starting around 530pm, then head into the theater and see the movie on their GIANT screen.
