  Critics Corner

We will have our next Critics Corner meeting on Friday, September 26, at 7:00 PM, at Lorraine Jacobi's home.

Any questions or cancellation, please email Lorraine Jacobi

The following two movies will be discussed and then rated:

Nickel Boys: Elwood Curtis' college dreams are brutal reformatory in the Jim Crow South. Clinging to his optimistic worldview, Elwood strikes up a friendship with Turner, a fellow Black teen who dispenses fundamental tips for survival.

Release date: December 13, 2024
Starring: Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Luke Tennie
Can be seen on: MGM+, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Sling TV, Philo, Fandango at Home, Google Play Movies and TV and Apple TV

The Heat: FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn is a methodical investigator with a long-standing reputation for excellence - and arrogance. In contrast, foul-mouthed, hot-tempered detective Shannon Mullins goes with her gut instincts and street smarts to remove criminals from the streets of Boston. Sparks fly when these polar opposites have to work together to capture a drug lord, but in the process, they become the last thing anyone expected -- buddies.
