With what's going on in todays' world, I welcome a few hours of movie watching when I can. I helps distract my mind of what else could go wrong or happen to someone else I care about. I really liked Lucas Jade Zumann in the Netflix show, "Anne With An E," he was amazing! He is even more amazing in "Dr. Bird's Advice for Sad Poets." I see him going far in his acting career.
Sixteen-year-old James Whitman played by Lucas Jade Zumann (20th Century Women, Anne With An ‘E’), struggles to overcome anxiety and depression by seeking advice from Dr. Bird voiced by Tom Wilkinson (The Grand Budapest Hotel). In his magical realism inspired world, James goes on a whimsical, but emotionally charged search to solve the mystery of the disappearance of his sister, after an altercation with their parents depicted by Lisa Edelstein (Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, The Kominsky Method), and Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, Star Trek: Discovery). While James (Zumann) struggles to connect with his parents, he deals with the intense social anxiety of high school life while navigating first love with Sophie, portrayed by Taylor Russell (Lost in Space, Waves) - a precocious girl from school who has her own agenda and a boyfriend Martin that hasn’t quite learned to let go of her, brought to life by Chase Stokes (Outer Banks). Our two lovestruck teens set out on a quest to find Jorie, finding themselves in what appears to be a cult of sorts, led by David Arquette (Scream series) as Xavier, and into the under belly of NYC nightlife that makes James question every relationship in his life.

Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the new romantic comedy MODERN PERSUASION, from distributor Samuel Goldwyn Films, starring Alicia Witt (I CARE A LOT, "Orange Is The New Black", TWO WEEKS NOTICE) on-demand and digital. The film is an adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1817 novel “Persuasion", directed by Alex Appel and Jonathan Lisecki from a script by Lisecki and Barbara Radecki. The film also stars Shane McRae (THE HELP, STILL ALICE, THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU) and Bebe Neuwirth (JUMANJI franchise, HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS), as well as Liza Lapira and Daniela Pineda.
Synopsis: A modern telling of Jane Austen’s “Persuasion.” Wren Cosgrove is a happy, single, and self-confessed workaholic who, after rising to the top of the corporate ladder, finds herself coming home every night to her cat. When her firm is hired by Owen Jasper, “the man who got away,” long-lost feelings are stirred, giving Wren a second chance at true love.
My Review and Thoughts:
This was a cute movie. I enjoyed watching Wren navigate working with an old fling and being a grown up about it. But in the end, they really still had feelings for each other. There are some funny parts in this movie too. Great movie to watch alone or with a girl friend.

William H. Macy is more than just your favorite on-screen character, he’s creating gritty music and badass whiskey. His new single, “Whiskey Dell,” is a marriage of those passions. Under the moniker Willie Creeks, Macy’s inner outlaw, is personally writing spirited tales of fishing in the rugged Rockies while armed with his trusty 1935 Martin ukulele and a glass of whiskey from Woody Creek Distillers.
“Whiskey Dell” features a driving kick, floor-rumbling bass, and a feverish energy brought to life through colorful collaboration with some extremely talented musicians. Watch the video HERE and stream the single HERE. Or you check out the song and video below:
Macy’s passion for music, songwriting, and spirits is boundless whilst living by Willie Creek’s mantra “you have to go to a lot of trouble to make trouble worth goin’ to." Those who worked alongside him on Shameless can attest to his constant plucking of his uke, which he is rarely without. This long-awaited journey of music and spirits signals a second act for Macy that will be anything but conventional. Don’t expect this collaboration to be half ass either, Macy is a partner at Woody Creek Distillers, noting the hilarious truth, “Look at this face, I could sell whiskey.”
“Bill is so authentically passionate about making whiskey that we wanted to bottle it up and show people a side of him they might not know yet,” shared Tyler DeAngelo of StrawberryFrog, the NYC creative agency, who have worked closely with Macy and Woody Creek Distillers and are responsible for the nationwide roll out of the music and whiskey campaign.
Something Woody Creek Distillers and Macy have in common high up in the Rocky Mountains is that they are not afraid to surprise people with some unexpected twists. In fact, the potatoes that go into their highly touted vodka come straight from Macy’s backyard in Colorado. When Woody Creek Distillers won double-gold at the San Francisco International Spirits competition, Macy once likened it to “winning all of the Academy Awards with a film made on your iPhone.” Thanks to his commitment to renegade craftsmanship, it appears we’ll be enjoying centuries old traditions of music and spirit for some time.
Music is the earth, and spirits are the fire—the elements making everything sound a little better. After all, music and spirits are how most folks are surviving these days. Sip and laugh. Sip and cry. Sip and create. But make sure you are sipping on something from Woody Creek Distillers, while Willie sings you a tune.
About Woody Creek Distillers:
When we founded Woody Creek Distillers, our mission was simple: To pour everything we are into everything we make. We set out to make nothing but the finest craft spirits, each with a unique taste and character that was true to the origins of that spirit. It’s a standard we hold ourselves to every day. We never use neutral grain spirits or blend with base spirits from other distillers. We grow and harvest many of our own ingredients, like the Rio Grande potatoes for our premium vodka. We only source our grains from trusted Colorado farms, like the rye in our 100% rye mash whiskey. For the finishing touch, we distill every spirit we make in our own custom CARL stills – a shining copper example of engineering and art that turns the Earth’s freshest ingredients into the world’s most treasured spirits. This is without a doubt the perfect place to raise a drink.

The romantic comedy STARS FELL ON ALABAMA, from distributor Samuel Goldwyn Films, will be released on-demand and digital on January 8, 2021. The film follows a successful Hollywood agent, Bryce, and a Hollywood actress, Madison, on the verge of becoming a true star, if she can just land the right role. Bryce moved from Alabama to California 15 years ago for college and to pursue his dreams, leaving his past behind. He does, however, keep up with a small circle of his best friends from high school. As Bryce prepares to return home for his 15 year high school reunion and realizes his high school classmates are judging him poorly because he isn’t married with children, he stretches the truth and tells them that Madison is his girlfriend, convincing her to pretend to be his girlfriend to escape questions from his friends.
Synopsis:
Successful Hollywood agent Bryce Dixon is returning to Alabama for the first time in 15 years for his high school reunion. When he learns he's the only one of his friends who isn't married with children, he convinces his client, starlet Madison Belle, to pretend to be his girlfriend. But he soon learns that success has different meanings, and romance may be closer than he thinks.
Release Date: On VOD/digital on January 8, 2021
Directed by: VW Scheich
Cast: James Maslow, Ciara Hanna, Mike Bash, Lesa Wilson, Johnnie Mack, Justin Clark, and Taylor Hicks
My Review and Thoughts:
Cute movie! Great story line. There was a little left out, or cut out, or assumed I guess, when Bryce asked Madison about flying with him back to his hometown. The part of the movie where he asks her to go and pretend to be his girlfriend, was left out. It was just assumed. Then when they went to pick up their rental vehicle, she talked about his friends that he told her about. The movie is similar to a Hallmark movie, so those that love Hallmark movies, you'll love this! I'd say PG-13, to rated R, depends on your children, as there is some adult situations and two women wearing bras and underwear jumping into a swimming pool that they broke into a building to get into with Bryce and his friends. Also, a woman kisses Bryce when he's supposed to be dating Madison. Also, there's a lot of drinking in this film. Madison downs some beers with Bryce's friends. Every time they are out together some place, there's beer or cocktails. But overall, it's a great story with the ending you want!
