Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Brings On More Scares and Fun

It’s all in the family as Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire takes the Spengler family back to where it all began in New York City. I don’t ask much from Ghostbusters films other than to be not quite as dark as Ghostbusters 2. They don’t change up the formula too much in this film. What I can say for certain is that the Spenglers and Gary have embraced their role as Ghostbusters following the previous film. It’s…

Siege of Masada: Smithsonian Doc Is More of a Tie-In

Siege of Masada is a Smithsonian Channel documentary that plays into the corporate umbrella by tying in a CBS miniseries, The Dovekeepers. There is a universe where I am ascending Masada today for the first time since going on Birthright Israel with Mayanot in June 2007. Alas, it was just not meant to be during this week’s trip to Israel. Next to viewing panoramic views of the Old City in Jerusalem, there’s nothing more breathtaking…

James Hawes talks One Life

James Hawes spoke with Solzy at the Movies about One Life, the new film telling the story of Nicky Winton and the Kindertransport. The film is opening this weekend in theaters. It’s so nice to meet you today. How are you doing? James Hawes: I’m very well. Nice to meet you too.

One Life: Saving Jews During the Holocaust

One Life tells the story of how Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton played a role in saving many Jewish children during the Holocaust. Bleecker Street is handling the American release. Unlike Warner Bros.’ handling of the UK release (more in my interview with James Hawes), the press and marketing materials do not hide the fact that the refugees are predominantly Jewish. I’ve known about the Kindertransport for years. In fact, the Kindertransport would inspire Michael Bond…

Jerusalem: Center of the World

Jerusalem: Center of the World takes viewers back to the beginning of Jerusalem’s history, starting with Abraham and Isaac. By the time you read this, I’ll have made my long awaited return to the Western Wall aka the Kotel, the holiest site in all of Judaism. Jews have gathered at the Western Wall since the fall of the Second Temple on Mount Moriah, at least during the times that we were allowed to. For instance,…
