Film and Theater by Don Gibble — April 2020
One of my favorite film festivals is the
The closing night film is “Bad Education” starring Hugh Jackman, Allison Janney and Ray Romano. There will be tributes to actors Sienna Miller and Steve Coogan. It is definitely worth the drive from Sonoma County to San Francisco for this event.
On April 3rd “Beastie Boys Story” opens at a theater near you. Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz tell an intimate personal story of their band and 40 years of friendship. I was in high school when the Beastie Boys came out, so I am very excited to see this documentary.
Also, on April 3rd, “The Burnt Orange Heresy” opens. It stars Donald Sutherland and Mick Jagger. It's about an art critic who is asked to steal the work of a reclusive painter.
On April 10th “The Lost Husband” opens. It stars Josh Duhamel. Based on the novel by Katherine Center. It tells a heartwarming story of love, forgiveness and creating the family you need.
For my live theater fans, we have “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” at the Curran Theater in San Francisco and if you haven't seen “Hamilton” or “The Book of Mormon” yet you have a chance to go in San Francisco.
If you're reading this month's Gazette on April 1st you will appreciate that everything, I have written so far is an elaborate April Fool's joke.
Unfortunately, the San Francisco Film Festival was canceled, and all movie theaters are closed.
HBO will show “Bad Education” later this month on their network. So, you will have a chance to see it. You can imagine how frustrating it is for me not being able to see a movie at a movie theater. It's time to Netflix and chill!
Thank God Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are feeling better. It's sad the Olympics have been canceled. Only three Olympic games were not held as scheduled. 1916 because of World War 1 and 1940 and 1944 because of World War II. AS I write this column, I heard that Kenny Rogers just died. Hissong “The Gambler” was one of my favorites.
It's the 30th anniversary of “Pretty Woman” and you can catch it this Saturday, April 4th on the Freeform channel.
Fans of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” will be happy to see it come back onABC in April with Jimmy Kimmel as host.
I love Maya Rudoplh and she is starring in an animated project onNetflix called “The Willoughbys”. It premieres April 22nd.
Fans of “Love Actually” will be happy to know it airs on HBO April 3rd. Emma Thompson gives an amazing performance and I feel she was cheated not being nominated for best-supporting actress at the Oscars that year.
This is a good time to reflect who is important in your life. Call them. Be Good to One Another. Hopefully, we will see you at the movies very soon! Email: dongibblecast@hotmail.com with any questions.
