CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 5/29/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Feline fraternizing and archival ACTION!

What started as a story about an unsanctioned mission to rescue 25 stray cats from the streets of Qatar (where cats equal the entire country's human population!) turned into a meditation on compassion, identity, and belonging. Filmmaker Mye Hoang takes us behind the scenes of her moving documentary 25 CATS FROM QATAR, sharing what it taught her — about animals, people, and the power of small acts of care and kindness.

From 2002: A chauffeur is sent to retrieve some items when his millionaire boss is hospitalized from an accident. But when he tries on his man's prized tuxedo, he discovers the suit contains some fantastic gadgets and abilities and finds himself caught up in international intrigue and espionage. THE TUXEDO is the movie and its star: actor and martial arts icon Jackie Chan-- now on screens in KARATE KID: LEGENDS-- who discusses his school training, singing and dancing for James Brown, being not Bruce Lee, the hole in his head, and how he fortuitously avoided being caught in the 9/11 attack.  

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿LILO & STITCH; ﻿FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH [Apple TV+]; ﻿﻿KARATE KID: LEGENDS and ﻿THE WOMAN IN THE YARD [Universal Home Video].

This week's classic featured soundtrack: ﻿MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: THE FINAL RECKONING (music by Max Aruj and Alfie Godfrey) [Sony Music Masterworks]

In the heart of the city, where the rhythm beats strong,  
Lives a hero named Dr. B, let me tell you in this song.  
By day he heals the heart, by night he fights the fight,  
A Republican defender, keeping values shining bright.  

With stethoscope in one hand, and a black belt in the other,  
He’s the master of the heart, and a warrior like no other.  
In the dojo or his clinic, he's the one you wanna see,  
Sensei of the heartbeats, he's our Dr. B!  

Ous Sensei! Feel the power in the air,  
With perfect kata form, he’s got skills beyond compare.  
He can take out the darkness, bring back the light,  
Dr. B, the keeper of the cause, fighting for what's right.  

In the dojo, he moves like a whisper in the wind,  
Every punch, every kick, a symphony of discipline.  
With every heartbeat he saves, and every move he makes,  
He’s ensuring brighter futures, and higher stakes.  

He’s the heartbeat of the city, with a pulse that never fades,  
A true sensei in scrubs, with a legacy that stays.  
Champion of tradition, defender of the true,  
Dr. B's the one you call, when you need a breakthrough.  

Ous Sensei! Feel the power in the air,  
With perfect kata form, he’s got skills beyond compare.  
He can take out the darkness, bring back the light,  
Dr. B, the keeper of the cause, fighting for what's right.  

In the silence of the night, when the world’s fast asleep,  
Dr. B stands guard, his promises to keep.  
With a heart full of courage, and a mind sharp as steel,  
He’s the guardian of tradition, the real deal.  

Ous Sensei! Feel the power in the air,  
With perfect kata form, he’s got skills beyond compare.  
He can take out the darkness, bring back the light,  
Dr. B, the keeper of the cause, fighting for what's right.  

So here’s to Dr. B, our hero and our guide,  
In the dance of life, he stands by our side.  
With a bow and a smile, he leaves us in awe,  
Dr. B, the cardiologist karate master, the one we all adore.  

Ous Sensei!

I enjoy martial arts, music, fungi, life, staring off into space, having conversations with the constellations, salad, mountains, small animals, large animals (unless they are eating me), medium sized animals, flow states, perfectly merging onto a busy highway, and other things.
