Feast on This! - "Devotion" plus "The Son," "Disenchanted," "Barbarian" and More!

Sitting Around Talking Movies

You've no doubt got plenty on your plate this Thanksgiving, and so do we. And our offerings don't have any calories. First we've got "Devotion." It's about a pair of U.S. Navy fighter pilots who risk their lives during the Korean War and become some of the Navy's most celebrated wingmen. It's based on a true story. We've also got several films which were nominated at the recent Critics Choice Documentary Awards - first there's "Goodnight Oppy" which follows Opportunity, the Mars Exploration Rover affectionately dubbed Oppy by her creators and scientists at NASA. Then there's "The Automat" which centers on the vending machine popularized in the 20th century that offered fresh cooked meals in a commissary-style eatery. And finally, "Three Minutes: A Lengthening" in which snippet of 16mm film offers an emotionally charged, meditative glimpse into the lives of the unsuspecting Jewish citizens of a small Polish village at the precipice of World War II. For horror fans there's "Barbarian" which is about a woman staying at an Airbnb who discovers that the house she has rented is not what it seems. If you're a drama fan there's "The Son" starring Hugh Jackman. And for you Disney musical sequel fans out there (you know who are are) we've got "Disenchanted" which stars Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey. So put off that food coma and listen in!
