Friendship between woman is a tale as old as time.  What Deborah Eisenberg’s screenplay seeks to explore is how college friendships between women evolve over time.  The film focuses on three women in particular: Alice (Meryl Streep), Roberta (Candice Bergen), and Susan (Dianne Wiest) Best-selling author Alice has…

Safety Reminds Us That Family Is Important

The newest Disney+ film, Safety, is a stark reminder about the importance of family combined with what it means to play college football. There is nothing better than a sports film that tugs at your emotions.  I know it may be a cliché but it’s true.  Disney knows how to make a sports film.  They did it twenty years ago with Remember the Titans and they did it again this year.  This film was always…

2020 World Series Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers

2020 World Series Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers, the official World Series film, arrives today on Blu-ray so that fans can relive the Fall Classic. It’s not an unfair statement to say that this year was among the most unique for Major League Baseball.  After baseball shut down in March, nobody knew if the season would ever restart let alone have a postseason.  With outbreaks on the Florida Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals, the postseason felt…

The Nolan Variations by Tom Shone

The Nolan Variations: The Movies, Mysteries, and Marvels of Christopher Nolan is the most in-depth look yet at the blockbuster auteur. Before I start this off, I want to stress my disappointment at seeing the Wachowskis get misgendered during the book’s introduction.  How this gets past the editors and into the final print is beyond me.  This is beyond infuriating! Nolan is in the category that very few filmmakers could ever hope to achieve.  James…

President in Waiting Is A Historic Documentary

President in Waiting, the new film from Jeffrey Roth, is a historic documentary that features the former presidents and vice presidents. All of the six living Vice Presidents make appearances to mark the first time in that they have appeared in such a film.  Maybe not together but I’ll wake it.  Moreover, the four former living presidents are also in the film to discuss their relationships.  There is only one president that does not make…

Warner Bros. To Release In Theaters and HBO Max

Warner Bros. made a big announcement about their 2021 film slate, particularly about how their films will be released.

Today, the Warner Bros. Pictures Group announced that it has committed to releasing its 2021 film slate via a…

Jeffrey Roth spoke with Solzy at the Movies about President in Waiting, a new vice presidential documentary airing on CNN. President in Waiting airs on CNN this Saturday night. When did you first come up with the idea to do this documentary? Jeffrey Roth: Three years ago is when it really stuck in my head and then I decided to move forward at that point.
