Hulu Pick of the Month for November 2020
The best film of all time is James L. Brooks’ Broadcast News (1987). It’s true, I wouldn’t lie, and I’m happy to report that it’s new to Hulu this month. While it might look on the surface to be a dated topic — it’s about network news, after all — its commentary on the dying art of journalism remains spot on and topical. The script is brilliant, very funny, and biting in its observations, and the cast is absolute aces with stellar performances from Holly Hunter, William Hurt, and the endlessly fantastic Albert Brooks. Turn off your ringer, settle into your most comfortable chair, and watch (or re-watch) this masterpiece as soon as possible. You’re welcome.
Halloween Is Over, But Horror Movies Are Eternal
Sputnik (2020) enters our orbit starting November 13th and follows an astronaut who returns to Earth with an alien visitor within, and while the film is a lower budgeted affair, it puts it all on the screen and delivers some real suspense and general creepiness. Amulet (2020) starts hanging around November 19th and features a man who begins to suspect the boarding house where he’s living might hide a deadly secret. The film played Sundance Film Fest this year (remember January?), and while I’m not a big fan, there were plenty of folks at the fest who loved it. I haven’t seen this last one, but Centigrade (2020) drops November 27th and focuses on a couple who find themselves trapped in a car during and after a blizzard. Could be thrilling, could be annoying, but we’ll find out together.
New Hulu Originals
I Am Greta saves the world starting November 13th and focuses on young activist Greta Thunberg. Whether or not you support her cause — although if you don’t realize that it’s all of our cause, then you’re a dolt — she remains an interesting young woman. No Man’s Land reveals itself on November 18th and is a new series about a man drawn into a mystery involving his sister’s death in a suicide bombing. And finally, the one everyone is waiting for: Animaniacs is coming back with all-new episodes and draws you in again starting November 20th.
Great Action to Scratch That Itch
Tony Scott’s Crimson Tide (1995) remains one of the late filmmaker’s finest films — his best in my opinion — and while it features Scott’s high-impact editing style, it’s also a heavy hitter when it comes to suspense, tension, and top-tier performances. Mr. Majestyk (1974) sees Charles Bronson as a melon farmer taking on the mob, and it’s one of Bronson’s best. And finally, Ronin (1998) is just a modern action classic thanks to some spectacular car chase antics.
