Gary Sinise does a stupendous job in bringing President Harry S. Truman back to life in HBO’s Emmy-winning biopic, Truman. I’ve been meaning to revisit the film for quite some top after making a stop in Kansas City just over a month ago. When I was there, I made a stop at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum. I meant to watch the film a few weeks ago but then October 7 happened.…

Rock Around the Clock is a fictitious tale of the origins of rock and roll and the 1956 musical is now available on Blu-ray. While the film has been mastered in high definition, it’s presented in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio rather than the 1.37:1 ratio in which it was released. The 77-minute film still features a mono soundtrack. What surprises me the most about the film is that it was shot over a brief period…

The Muppets Take Manhattan as everyone’s favorite felt performers look to break a leg on Broadway and learn it is not that easy. It is a complete coincidence that I am covering the film as it also arrives today on 4K Ultra HD. I rewatched the film last week after borrowing it from the public library. It is surprisingly not available through a streaming service, only to buy or rent. It is not on Disney+…

The Screen Writers Guild of Israel joined Jewish television and film writers in calling out Writers Guild of America (WGA). Deadline reported on Saturday evening that the WGA didn’t release a statement because they couldn’t find consensus. I’m sorry but how does guild leadership not find consensus in condemning a barbaric act of terror by Hamas. Is this really how they feel about Jewish lives at a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing across the globe?!?…

The 59th Chicago International Film Festival has come to an end and it has been among the least productive fests for Solzy at the Movies. I didn’t not watch screeners going into the festival because of how the Jewish holidays fell. My initial plan had been to wait until after the end of Simchat Torah. As we all know, my plan to watch any screeners became impossible because the tragic attack on Israel on October…
