A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is the real-life story of a deep friendship developed between Fred Rogers (Tom Hanks) and journalist Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys).

Lloyd Vogel is a journalist for Esquire magazine and is known for his cynical writing style. His editor Ellen (Christine Lahti) assigns him a 400-word profile piece for their upcoming issue on Heroes and wants him to profile Mr. Rogers who is a well known children’s television icon. Lloyd feels the article is beneath him but begrudgingly accepts the assignment and agrees to interview him and travels to the WQED studio in Pittsburgh to interview Mr. Rogers.

Determined to expose Rogers’ friendly persona as an act, Lloyd watches several episodes of his show but is unable to discern anything. As he spends more time with Mr. Rogers he overcomes his skepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency, and finds his perspective on life transformed.

Harriet is the biographical story about freedom fighter Harriet Tubman (Cynthia Erivo), and her amazing escape from slavery and transformation into one of America’s greatest heroes, whose courage, ingenuity and tenacity freed hundreds of enslaved people on the Underground Railroad and changed the course of history in the face of growing pre-Civil war adversity.

Before escaping from the hands of her slave-owners in Maryland in 1849, Tubman was known as Araminta “Minty” Ross and worked at the Brodess plantation alongside her family members and husband John (Zachary Momoh); a free man on paper but not quite in practice in the racist South. Minty decides she will be free or die and escapes from it all through a series of acts that often feel like divine mysteries guided by faith and the bright light of the North Star.

She is aided by a few people along the way including Reverend Green (Vondie Curtis-Hall) and Thomas Garrett (Tom Guinee). Eventually Minty makes it over 100 miles alone to the Pennsylvania border and met with the prospect of a new life and fresh start. Once across the border she finds William Still (Leslie Odom Jr.) who leads an organization that helps escaped slaves, and Marie Buchanon (Janelle Monae), an entrepreneur who owns and runs the Philadelphia boarding house she moves into. William Still starts documenting her journey and tells Minty she can choose a new name as a free woman and she choose Harriet after her mother who went by the name Rit which was short for Harriet and Tubman which is her husbands last name and Harriet Tubman emerged a free black woman in Pennsylvania.

Missing her family, she risks her own freedom and travels back to Maryland to rescue her husband John. When she arrives to take him, she discovers he has remarried thinking that his beloved Minty had died. Disappointed, she rounds up 9 other slaves and helps them escape along the same route she had taken a year before. Harriet becomes a conductor on the Underground Railroad and embarks on an endless string of round-trip journeys down to the South, assuming a disguise and the nickname “Moses” and rescues more slaves with each miraculous expedition.

Movie Quotes

“Even now, you’re mine.” – Gideon Brodess
“I was never yours, Gideon. I was never nobody’s property. Ever since your daddy sold my sisters, I prayed for God to make me strong enough to fight. And that’s what I prayed for ever since. I reasoned that there was one or two things I had a right to. Liberty or death. If I couldn’t have one, I’d have the other.” – Harriet Tubman
“Fear is your enemy. Trust in God. The North Star will guide you. Follow that North Star. If there are no stars, just follow the river. If you can’t see the river, listen for it. When the river split, cross the high bridge over the rushing creek, and head straight north. After a few days time, Delaware River be on your right. Follow that to Wilmington. Look for a blacksmith and iron merchant named Thomas Garrett. I’ll send him word. May God be with you, child.” – Reverend Green

“John and me, we want our babies born free like they supposed to be.” – Harriet Tubman

“Whoa, easy now. Now, I’ve decided not to sell you after all. Fact is, I’d miss you. Now, you been there all my life, like your mama was all my daddy’s. Daddy vowed never to sell your mama. And I’m vowing never to sell you. Now, you can come on back and I won’t hurt you bad. You can stat at home, stay with John, stay with us. Would you like that?” – Gideon Brodess
“I’m going to be free or die.” – Harriet Tubman

“Here we are friend. Pennsylvania border. Shall I drive thee across, or would thee prefer to walk alone into freedom?” – Thomas Garrett
“I walk with the Lord.” – Harriet Tubman

“Well, I don’t know if you know how extraordinary this is, but by some miraculous means, you have made it one hundred miles to freedom, all by yourself. Would you like to pick a new name to mark your freedom? Most ex-slaves do. Any name you want.” – William Still
“They call my mama Rit, but her name Harriet. I want my mama name and my husband. Harriet Tubman.” – Harriet Tubman

I made up my mind, I’m going back. Without my husband and my family, I’m just a stranger in a strange land. If I’m free, they should be too. I’m going to go get them, one by one, starting with my husband.” – Harriet Tubman

“God don’t mean people to own people, Gideon! Our time is near.” – Harriet Tubman

The Two Popes stars Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce, Juan Minujin, Luis Gnecco, Cristina Banegas, Sidney Cole, Lisandro Fiks, Thomas D. Williams and Federico Torre.

The Two Popes is an intimate story inspired by true events of one of the most dramatic transitions of power in the last 2000 years.

In April 2005, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Jonathan Pryce) is in Buenos Aires, Argentina when he receives news that Pope John Paul II has passed away. As is tradition, the Cardinals gather in Vatican City to elect a new Pope. At the time, the votes are split between Bergoglio, Joseph Ratzinger (Anthony Hopkins) and another Cardinal named Martini. Martini transfers his votes to Bergoglio, who doesn’t really want to be Pope, while Ratzinger campaigns hungrily for future votes and becomes Pope Benedict. Bergoglio returns to Argentina with plans to do simple work and then retire. Meanwhile Ratzinger’s tenure as Pope is marked by controversy and claims he is too conservative.

Frustrated with the direction of the church, in 2012 Cardinal Bergoglio requests permission to retire from Pope Benedict but Ratzinger feels that his resignation will look like a protest and criticism against him. Ratzinger grills Bergoglio on his more liberal views and Bergoglio explains he can’t be a salesperson for a product he does not believe in. He explains that while the church was dealing with its rituals and dogma, the real problem of inequality and injustice were ignored, especially the Church’s handling of sex abuses against children and Ratzinger angrily rebukes everything he says.

Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Pope Benedict summons his harshest critic and future successor to Rome to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. Benedict explains that he really brought Bergoglio to Rome not to accept his retirement, but instead because he was retiring. Bergoglio is shocked, saying Popes can’t resign, and tells him not to do it, saying it would damage the papacy. He explains that he knew he could not retire if Bergoglio was resigning in case he was elected Pope. Bergoglio insists he couldn’t be Pope and doesn’t deserve to be Pope.

Behind Vatican walls, a struggle commences between both tradition and progress, guilt and forgiveness, as these two very different men confront their pasts in order to find common ground and forge a new future path for the Catholic Church and over a billion followers around the world. In 2013, Ratzinger retires, shocking the world. Bergoglio is elected to be the newest Pope and dubs himself Pope Francis.

Movie Quotes

“What is the hymn you are whistling?” – Pope Benedict
“Dancing Queen” – Pope Francis 
“There are no coincidences.” – Pope Francis

“We keep files on everyone so you don’t have to be flattered.” – Pope Benedict

“You have a spare cardinal hat?” – Pope Francis

Byrne, Alice Eve, Ashley Green, Holland Taylor, Malcolm McDowell, Richard Kind, Andy Buckley, Stephen Root and Brian d’Arcy James.

Bombshell is the story of Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron), one of the Fox News network’s biggest personalities who discovers she’s not the only one to have been harassed by head honcho Roger Ailes (John Lithgow). She investigates the situation after former host Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) slaps Fox News founder Roger Ailes with a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment.

The story intertwines the stories of three different women who work at Fox News including Megyn Kelly, Gretchen Carlson and Kayla Popisil. As Megyn Kelly prepares to moderate a debate of the Republican candidates for President in the 2016 primaries, Despite some push-back from colleagues, she is determined to ask Trump about his sexist comments toward women. Megyn is distressed at the amount of hate she receives after the debate and the fact that she became the story instead of reporting it.

Gretchen Carlson was the co-host of Fox and Friends, but war removed from that spot and given a less valuable afternoon one. After enduring sexist comment after sexist comment, sometimes on the air, she is tired of it and meets with an attorney. Her attorney tells her that her contract makes it tough to fight back and also that her workaround would be to sue Roger Ailes directly, but she would need hard evidence and other women would need to come forward.

Meanwhile, Kayla Popisil (Margot Robbie) is a young conservative woman raised in a religous home who worships the right-wing and conservative Fox News network. She began her career working under Carlson, until she is offered a promotion to Bill O’Reilly’s show, the network’s biggest program. She moves to O’Reilly and gets chewed out by him during her first day.

Upon word of the lawsuit, Roger meets with Rupert Murdoch (Malcolm McDowell), his longtime friend and owner of Fox News, and the term’s of Roger’s exit are settled. Megyn is informed that Roger is out while at the Republican National Convention. Murdoch enters the newsroom and gives a speech to everyone telling them that Roger is gone and that he will be taking over. Gretchen gets a settlement offer of twenty million dollars and an apology from Fox News. She tells her audience she doesn’t care if they like her and just cares that they believe her. Her attorneys tell her that along with the settlement comes a non-disclosure, which means she can never tell her story. Gretchen looks out into the audience and says, ‘maybe’.

Movie Quotes

“Start with a clear villain: liberal judge, pinhead mayor, Hollywood, Vermont Conservatives want to conserve. You’re the last defense against Jesus-hating, trans-loving, Clinton-controlled Armageddon.” – Jess Carr 
“I did the seminar twice. I never heard about a hotline.” – Julia Clarke
“‘Cause its B.S.! Our contracts give them the right to monitor our communications. A hotline in this building is like a complaint box in Occupied Paris. Basically, we’re telling women: go on and speak up for yourself. Just know the whole network is with Roger. You want airtime, assignments, show slots? Go ahead and call the paranoid guy handing them out to a pervert. And do so on an anonymous hotline that he controls, using phones he has a contractual right to record.” – Megyn Kelly

“This is the only job I’ve ever wanted. I don’t want to be on TV, I want to be on Fox! My family, everyday of the week, and every holiday, especially, we watch Fox News. We’re like addicts.” – Kayla Pospisil

“To be clear, I will not be kissing Trump’s ass at nine o’clock.” – Megyn Kelly

Welcome to Marwen follows the true story of Mark Hogancamp (Steve Carell), a man struggling with PTSD who, after being physically assaulted, meticulously creates a miniature model of a fictional Belgian town he calls Marwen to help him ease his trauma. No one expects Hogencamp to recover from a brutal attack from five neo-Nazis that nearly killed him and wiped away all of his memories.

Prior to the attack, Mark was a talented World War II illustrator but is left without the fine motor control to draw any longer. However, Mark is an artist at heart and turns his creative outlet to photography when he starts documenting life in Marwen. His astonishing art installation soon comes to life with breathtakingly realistic dolls — replicas of people in his life and a testament to the most powerful women he knows.

Going through scrapbooks allows him to put together pieces from the past and present as he tries to get a sense of what his life was before the beating. He was married to a real-life Wendy (Stephanie von Pfetten) at one point. Another set of photos show him in rehab with Julie (Janelle Monae), an Iraq vet who lost one of her legs. He is visited once a month by his Russian caretaker Anna (Gwendolyn Christie) and she like many people in Mark’s life, knows of Marwen and the fact that one of the dolls is based off of her. Hogencamp has a doll that represents himself and calls him Captain Hogie and he is a World War II fighter pilot.

Mark’s neighbor Nicol (Leslie Mann) comes over to introduce herself and sees Marwen in his yard and he gives her a tour. He shows her all of his dolls and shows her pictures he has taken. Mark explains to Nicol that his models in Marwen are based on people he knows and describes their roles in his life, as well as how “Marwen” is a combination of Mark and Wendy. He later acquires a new doll and names her Nicol and incorporates her into a scenario in which Captain Hogie is taken by the Nazis, and she joins the other women in a rescue mission.

Through his fantasy world, Hogancamp finds the strength to triumph in the real world and eventually face his attackers.

Movie Quotes

“One foot in front of the other. You got it, Mark. Embrace the pain. Our pain is our rocket fuel.” – G.I. Julie 
“The life I once had was taken away from me, but I’m still here. I have hope, and I have my town, and I have my friends, and I’ll be okay.” – Mark Hogencamp

“They kicked every memory I ever had out of my head. Everything from before the attack is gone, so my dolls have to tell the story.” – Mark Hogencamp

“To life. To love. To the women of Marwen.” – Mark Hogencamp
