At The Movies
Fly Me To The Moon
Brought in to fix NASA's public image, marketing maven Kelly Jones (Scarlett Johansson) wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis's (Channing Tatum) already difficult task of putting a man on the moon. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup. Jim Rash excels himself as Lance Vespertine, the camp temperamental director who fills in for the role conspiracy theorists allege was played by Stanley Kubrick. And he is just as demanding as Stan, take after take.

A Family Affair
(Netflix)
An unexpected romance triggers comic consequences for a young woman, her mother, and her boss, grappling with the complications of love, sex, and identity. Zac Efron and Nicole Kidman have real chemistry and Joey King is surprisingly convincing as the bratty but loving daughter. Plus Kathy Bates steals the scenes she's in. This film stands out in terms of writing, not too try hard gen-z writing when it comes to the younger characters which I appreciated. Overall funny, clever and cozy, especially if you have a soft spot for any of the actors involved.

Supacell (Netflix)
