When three convicts escape from a Mississippi chain-gang, they go on the hunt for buried treasure and wind up on a harrowing and hilarious adventure that Homer himself could scarcely come up with!
The featured cocktail is the Dapper Pie Spritz, made with Appleton rum, fresh lemon and apple juice, turbinado sugar, Tiki bitters, seltzer and cinnamon garnish.
The Coen Brothers expertly blend together the Depression-era South, Homeric epic poetry, and delta folk/blues in their sepia-tinted satire O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? Inspired as much by The Odyssey as by the 1941 Peter Sturgis film Sullivan’s Travels, this follow-up to Fargo and The Big Lebowski represents The Coens at the height of their powers.
Featuring unforgettable performances by George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson, the cast also includes Chris Thomas King, John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and cameos from a host of luminaries from the folk music scene of the time. The Grammy-winning soundtrack, produced by music legend T Bone Burnett, is a who’s-who of American folk, bluegrass, and country music performers; and, the film was nominated for both the Best Cinematography and Best Adapted Screenplay Oscars at the 2001 Academy Awards ceremony.

Dorothy, a young farm girl from Kansas, and her lovable terrier Toto get caught in the midst of a terrifying tornado whose house-shaking force ultimately knocks Dorothy unconscious. When she finally awakens, she is amazed to find herself in a land that defies imagination: Dorothy is greeted by benevolent witch Glinda and a host of Munchkins who explain that she has inadvertently rid the Land of Oz from the scourge of the Wicked Witch of The East and, in return, is given the bad witch’s ruby red slippers. All is not well, however – The Wicked Witch of The West vows revenge on Dorothy for killing her sister. Dorothy and Toto, in order to find a way back to Kansas, set out upon the Yellow Brick Road where they encounter not only The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, and The Cowardly Lion, but also trials and triumphs on their way to the Emerald City and its patron, The Wizard of Oz himself!
Nominated for numerous awards – including a Golden Globe and several People’s Choice honors for Chalamet – director Paul King’s Wonka features excellent special effects, an energetic cast, and a batch of new songs that all combine to revitalize one of the all-time greatest characters in the history of fantasy films.
Written and directed by Moranis and Thomas, Strange Brew grew from humble beginnings as a sketch on SCTV, Canada’s version of Saturday Night Live. (Very) loosely based on Shakespeare’s classic tragedy Hamlet, this film is a bummer only if you hate to laugh out loud, eh.
Based on the novel by Hugo Award-winning fantasy author Peter S Beagle (who also wrote the screenplay), and featuring the voice talents of A-list stars of the era including Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, and Jeff Bridges, The Last Unicorn is an amazing journey through fantasy and myth artfully rendered by a production studio that raised the bar for animated feature films throughout the 1970s and 80s. It is unquestionable a classic of the fantasy genre – a wonderful movie that deserves to be remembered as a touchstone in the history of hand-drawn movie-making.
Having announced retirement almost a decade ago, Hayao Miyazaki instead persevered and began storyboarding THE BOY AND THE HERON in 2016 — it seemed that he had one final, fantastic story to tell. In production for nearly seven years and, allegedly, the most expensive film ever made in Japan, Miyazaki’s latest (and last) film has been hailed by critics as a masterpiece of animation filled with characters and themes that exemplify the breadth of Miyazaki’s illustrious career as one of the greatest animators and storytellers in the entertainment industry.
Written and directed by Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Under the Skin), THE ZONE OF INTEREST is a moving portrayal of a family that enjoys the “good life” while being responsible for the literal destruction of the lives of countless others. An instant hit with critics, the film was shortlisted for an Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.
Executive produced by such Hollywood luminaries as Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, and Frank Marshall, and directed by Don Bluth (The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail), The Land Before Time exists because some of the best minds in movies came together to create this beautiful and endearing 1988 film. Even though the story is set in a prehistoric age, the message it conveys still rings true in these modern times…and always will!
