5 Star Movies

5 Star Movies: Honor Society, Jerry & Marge Go Large, Samaritan, Brian & Charles, Funny Pages

Honor Society: Comedy-ish starring Stranger Thing’s Dustin about a pair of charming and sophisticated high school seniors… sometimes too sophisticated. ***

Jerry & Marge Go Large: If you’re like me and can watch this a little before noon with your parents who are near Bryan Cranston and Annette Benning in age, I think you may be in for a relatively delightful experience at the (streaming) movies. ***

Samaritan: Sly was working, but the movie he was in just felt like a low-budget sequel to another movie. **

Brian & Charles: Quirky independent comedy sympathetic to its’ central guy with quirks (depression) – there used to be a lot more of these. It’s probably for the best that they took a little break, though I enjoyed all the familiar notes in this story of a sad but decent man and his re-animated robot. ***3/4

Funny Pages: Another quirky independent comedy, kind of – not as hopeful, enjoyable, or as interesting. Like… we get it. **1/2
