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].

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 6/5/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  The devil made us do it!

In the fall of 1928, a woman experiencing frightening blackouts, aversion to holy objects and other unspeakable afflictions underwent a litany of medical evaluations and treatments in desperate search of relief. Then, her priest recommended a solemn exorcism. THE RITUAL is an intense and haunting drama exploring the most infamous and the most-documented exorcism in Americn history. Zooming in is director/ co-writer David Midell.

Now on Blu-ray:  The rollercoaster story and colourful career of British pop superstar Robbie Williams is told with unusual style in BETTER MAN, which takes us from childhood through his teenage stint in the boy band Take That, through the dizzying highs and cavernous lows of fame as a solo artist. And all the while, equating himself as a performing monkey. Sitting down with us are director/co-writer Michael Gracey (THE GREATEST SHOWMAN) and lead actor Jonno Davies (KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE; SPOTLESS).  

From 2010:  Still single seven years after the breakup of his marriage, a down on his luck divorcé who has all but given up on romance finally meets the woman of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life - her son: a musician who is his mom's best friend. We sat down with Oscar-nominated actor John C. Reilly (CHICAGO; WALK HARD; STAN & OLLIE) for an archival chat about the romantic comedy-drama CYRUS.

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including BRING HER BACK; ﻿TORNADO; ﻿MOUNTAINHEAD [HBO Max]; ﻿﻿DANGEROUS ANIMALS [5/6]; ﻿﻿FALLING IN LOVE (1984) [Fun City Editions] and THE ALTO KNIGHTS [Warner Home Entertainment].
