STAN & OLLIE: For those of you too young to recall, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy laid the foundation for television comedy. John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan portray this dynamic duo in what promises to be a film filled with laughter and maybe even a few tears as audiences get to know the backstory of this famous duo. (In theaters Jan. 11)
WELCOME TO MARWEN: Steve Carell has had quite a year in film in 2018. From “Beautiful Boy” to “Vice” and now Robert Zemeckis’ “Welcome to Marwen,” Carell has an opportunity to demonstrate a depth of acting like never before. Filled with devastation, cruelty, healing and most importantly hope, this unusual portrayal based on a true story should fit right into the spirit of the holidays. (In theaters Dec. 21)
Enjoy the magic of the season and of film this time of year. Live, learn, laugh, but most importantly, reach out to understand others--this is what film can do. Peace, love, and joy to all.
