We had to tell the girl to not finish the coffee. Yes, dangerous. Guess what, i have the same glasses. They are like 2010 and popped a six on top. It is like a super hero mask. Oh, okay. By the way, he was ripped off for five bucks. They are three at walgreens. Oh. To what is going on out happy new years eve. The temps not bad. 47 degrees. The average high is 39.

Highs only in the mid 30s by tuesday and wednesday of next week. By the way, i had a birthday shout out, it is for gia, turning 16 years old. That is from when she was a baby. Happy birthday to you. Cute as a button then. Thank you, sir. We are talking movies, star wars, of course, is the beast. It is setting the records at the box office and earning a billion dollars worldwide so far. There are a lot of movies to yes, joining us now for the best films and releases, we have the editor of black filling and talking pictures. Good morning to you both. Hi. Good morning. Starting with the power house, the star wars. All right. Lets talk about star wars. I saw it. I dont get to the movies often. I thought it was a good film. It is checking all of the boxes. It has everything from all of the other movies. Jj abrahams is great in rebooting the movies, he took the reigns and made it fly. It is bringing fak back families that remember the original film. New talents are in there. I have seen it twice. I could go again, a third time. That is why it is making a billion dollars so far. And again. Your favorites, room. Yeah, it is not a block buster. They have to escape from a captor and they do, it is about the relationship between a mother and child. They have been there 7 years and the way that media handles, this finish. There is shot of oscar nomination. Also, love and mercy. Yes, this is a tiny film. It is about brian wilson played by two people. This shouldnt work, but the best bio pic. It is on demand now. It worked in the beginning and then a different half. If you love the beach boys you are going to love it. Joy, yet another film with jennifer lawrence. Shes all over the place. Bradley cooper. Yes. Deniro. It is getting iks many mixed reviews. It is like two films. Midway turns into another film with bradley cooper, and i dont know where it wanted to go. I dont think it is a bad thing. Hes got the people he always works with, and it is firing on all cylinders. Qvc. Talk about spot light. It is a favorite for him. I felt it is a movie telling us this is the important movie to see. It is echoing all the president s men. It is about reporters and editors that broke up the priest sex abuse scandal in 2002 and it really turned into a worldwide story for the catholic church. They have a billion Members Around the world. Wilson, you like it . Yes, it is a film with no expectations going the festival route and when people started to see it, they started to talk about it. The only thing about the movie, with the exception of mile chael, you have a cast of actors all shining together. Rachel mcadams in there, the way it is told and executed. Without having to go through a lot of hollywood throwing this in there. I feel like we are being told it is a movie we have to see and like. Star wars is a huge one, mad max theory road. Yes, mad max, who knew he could come back and do the film and create a fantastic story using tom hardy, charlie, i think it came out in the summer and people are still talking about it. Two oscar nominations. Dvd. This next movie is on both of your top five lists, reverent. Maybe an oscar for him. They have denied him so many times and just the struggle of the snow and the country side and he takes on a bear. He by the way he and the bear are now dating. A lot of what he does is action sequences, after you see what he goes through. It is a career achievement. Everyone is saying it is great. You dont need the dialogue. I think this is a lock. Hes so talented. Hateful 8 . Yes, this is a controversial movie. A lot of Law Enforcement officials saying they are going to boycott it because of the comments. How is the movie on its own . Well, the protests didnt happen largely. The film is long and cool, and i like quentin. I saw it with an intermission and the prologue with the music. Road show. They wont get the intermission. He wanted to create something different. He wants to tell a story and something new and it has been a long time since they have done it in 7 millimeter. Shes bringing back samuel jackson, people he worked with before in the past and it is bloody, gory, but if you have seen the films before, this is nothing new. Nobody talks that much in the old west. That is funny. What about concussion . Well, concussion, it is a good story. It is one of will smiths best performance in years. It is tough to watch now with bowls and the playoffs. It is a good story and discovering that enough football injuries can cause the head trauma and fighting the organizations that dont want him to tell the story. Like i said, it is depending on you feel about the sport right now. It is feeling like a movie of the week now. Hes giving a great performance, but too many nice things happen to this guy. The church moves in a beautiful girl to his house and they end up marying. How is big short . It is great. It is telling the story of the housing crash that happened in the mid 2000s. Hes injected comedy here in ways that the average audience can understand it. They stop in the middle of it and have the famous people explain what the devices are, the financial devices and that works really well. If a problem with it, it is on the top ten list, but a lot of the jargon are scratching their heads over, i say, you know, try to go with it, because brad pitt is funny and Christian Bale is great in it. The martian. Whatd you think . I like it. It is in my top five. Matt damon did a great job. Hes going to be lined up for a nomination. It is Old Fashioned hollywood, done well, well executed. It is a comedy. The globes teach us so much. So leo a winner this year . How about the female . Larsson. And shes young. Thank you bonth for coming in. Happy new year. Still to come. We are sitting down with mr. 305 himself, pit bull. You dont need to spend big bucks on the champagne.

Caring for someone with alzheimers means i am a lot of things. I am his sunshine. So i asked about adding oncedaily namenda xr to his Current Treatment for moderate to severe alzheimers. It works differently. When added to another alzheimers treatment, r it may improve overall function and cognition. And may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. P vo namenda xr doesnt change how the disease progresses. P it shouldnt be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or whos had a bad reaction tto namenda xr or its ingredients. Before starting treatment, ttell their doctor if they have, por ever had, a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, t or bladder problems, r and about medications theyre taking. R certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body side effects. P are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. Hes always been my everything.
