Don't Miss It Greta Gerwig Little Women

GRETA GERWIG’S “LITTLE WOMEN” IS A FILM YOU HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE

We always loved Greta Gerwig as an actress- now we love her as a director too! Greta took Louisa May Alcott’s book Little Women and, along with Sarah Polley, dared to write the next chapter in the lives of the beloved March sisters, and it WORKS! A peek into the lives of four American sisters who lived during and after the civil war is fascinating and the best kind of history lesson. Despite the insurmountable challenges for women, who were LESS than second class citizens in those days, the story is fun, and the sisters are as lovable and relatable as ever. Whatever made Charlie’s Angels director Elizabeth Banks think women would want to see ANOTHER version of that objectifying TV series – especially written by MEN?

Don't Miss It Hollywood Richard Tanner Small Parts

WHY YOU SHOULD SEE RICHARD TANNER IN “SMALL PARTS”

#richardtanner #janetcharlton

Does this face look familiar? This is a special week for our actor friend Richard Tanner who does NOT bear a strong resemblance to Marilyn Monroe in the photo above, but he’s funnier. His one man show “Small Parts” is debuting with four out-of town performances November 15 thru 18 at the Flight Theater in Hollywood. We’ve seen part of this act and couldn’t get enough. Richard has been struggling -and sometimes working- as an actor in Hollywood for decades and he is LOADED with hilarious stories about the celebrities he’s worked with, and the TV shows and movies he appeared in. We LOVED his tale about the first major Hollywood party he went to and his revealing encounters with Rosie O’Donnell, Billy Crystal, Bette Midler etc. Richard’s amusing take on Hollywood (with an arsenal of visual delights) is priceless and we predict he will take this appealing show all the way to Broadway. See it NOW while it’s affordable!

Don't Miss It Transsiberian Woody Harrelson

TRANSSIBERIAN WILL SCARE THE PANTS OFF YOU

Finally, a movie that’s dramatic, terrifying, and frighteningly realistic. Realism is so much scarier than “monsters” or “evil spirits.” Transsiberian is every American’s nightmare when it comes to eastern European travel. Woody Harrelson and Emily Mortimer are friendly Americans who hook up with the wrong people and it gets them into unthinkable trouble. It’s like a Hitchcock film on steroids. We walked out of the theater deeply grateful to be living in the US. This is a hugely entertaining movie. See it right away!
