The Vern asks “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” and reviews this great documentary

If you grew up with Mr. Rogers.  You are probably a well adjusted individual.  If not, you are most most likely deeply disturbed.    OK, maybe the last part is a bit rough, but I worry about kids now who will never know who Mr. Rogers was or what he meant to several generations who grew up with him.

Here is my Review of Wont You Be My Neighbor.  The great documentary about Mr. Rogers from That Moment In

The Vern goes to rescue his lost dog and reviews Isle of Dogs.

 

I just saw the new Wes Anderson feature, Isle of Dogs and it was astounding.  If this isn’t a major contender at next year’s award shows.  I’m going to assume that Disney is buying off voters, or they actually do make good movies.  I don’t know I haven’t seen Coco yet.

This tale of a young boy on the search to find his dog had a amazing animation and a story that kept me hooked.   with great voice work including Bill Murray, Bryan Cranston, Francis McDormand, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlet Johansson and more.  I truly loved this movie.  You can read my full review below on the site That Moment In

The Vern visits a mental ward and reviews ‘Unsane’

Hello everybody

I recently watched Steven Soderbergh’s latest feature Unsane and I thought of a few things things.  One, why is it that every movie I have seen that is set at a mental institution?  The place for the most part seems like an alright place to be.  The staff can be kind of pricks and I’m sure that most places don’t treat their patients well.  But for me, it seems like sort of a vacation.  You never have to worry about anything, just take drugs and watch TV.  I know this is not real case with these places, but in movies.  It seems like they would be alright.  One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, 12 Monkeys, Girl Interrupted .ect. I would stay in all of them.

The  other is that I thought Soderbergh said he was retiring  from film making  I may be wrong and it’s cool if he wants to continue making movies.  Anyways I recently reviewed Unsane for That Moment In and wrote a review.   Check it out

2018 Twin Cities Actor Expo.

2018 Twin Cities Actor Expo

I have attended the Twin Cities Film Festival ( http://twincitiesfilmfest.org/ )for various sites along the years and was thrilled at all of the great movies I saw there.  Many of them were created by and starred people from my home state of Minnesota  and I was amazed.    On April 7th 2018.   The folks from TCFF are presenting a great event where actors from all different aspects(stage, film, tv,voice,ect) can come together and network  with each other.

There will be lots of great panels and workshops that are perfect for novice and professional actors.  Along with opportunities to meet with a lot of the top talent agencies as well.  It’s also a great way for actors to meet filmmakers and audition for upcoming projects.

You can learn about all of this and more by visiting the site below
