Eleanor The Great

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Eleanor The Great
  • IMDb: link

Eleanor The Great is a story about love, loss, the lies we tell others, and the lies we tell ourselves while struggling through grief and searching for connection and meaning in this crazy ride we call life. We first meet the goodhearted truth-bending Eleanor (June Squibb) in Florida before her return to New York, for the first time in decades, after the death of her longtime friend Bessie (Rita Zohar). Living with the daughter (Jessica Hecht) she doesn’t get along with, and struggling for connection, Eleanor walks into a room which will change her life.

Mistaken for a Holocaust survivor, Eleanor shares Bessie’s story as her own finding a new community and a new friend in a college student (Erin Kellyman) struggling with the recent death of her mother, and the growing distance with her father (Chiwetel Ejiofor), who becomes interested in sharing Eleanor’s story unaware of the lie which holds all of it together.

A Lot Like Love

  • Title: A Lot Like Love
  • IMDb: link

Released 20 years ago, A Lot Like Love feels a bit forgotten by time. The romantic comedy starred Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet as affable and charming leads whose lives intersect every few years before finally realizing that each belongs with the other. Kutcher is in full shaggy dog mode, especially early as the good-natured but largely clueless dude compelled to see his “five-year plan” to fruition. Peet (perhaps in her most intoxicating on-screen performance) is the more spontaneous, but also emotionally-distant, burned often by love.

Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire #2

Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire wraps up the two-part mini-series picking up with all hell breaking loose as Hellboy and Anastasia Bransfield must deal with the witch they raised under the volcano who is far more interested in escape than answering the pair’s questions. There’s not much to discuss here with the witch causing chaos, bringing earthquakes and tree soldiers to life all to help facilitate her escape. As for our two protagonists, they are mostly in chase mode although the witch does eventually escape.

With all members of David’s (Daniel Dae Kim) safe, for the time being, the third episode of Butterfly begins filling in information about the pasts of its characters. Not only do we get flashbacks to David being burned in the field, the ambush that killed his men, and his decision to become a ghost, but thanks to a little interrogation David and Rebecca (Reina Hardesty) also learn that Juno (Piper Perabo) was behind it all. We also see more of Juno’s double-dealings being looked into putting her even further on edge as she sends an assassin after both David and Rebecca to kill them and retrieve her son.
