Ellipsis Movie Of The Week... A Simple Favor

 

"Five days ago, Emily went missing."

~Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick)

A Simple Favor

The title of the movie tells the whole story. This is a fun, elegant, twisty little mystery with Anna Kendrick as a pretty, cool YouTube mom, who has her own successful vlog, and carries a deep secret! And Blake Lively is a cold brash career woman, who not only brings just the right bitchiness to her character of Emily that you find yourself applauding her strength, but you she carries her own secret, and let me tell you, it's a whopper! This film has a sequel, a Prime original, Another Simple Favor, and let me tell you, it might be an even wilder ride then the first one!

 Watch them together if you can.

 The first movie will leave you wondering what came next!

Ellipsis Movie Of The Week... Burn After Reading

 

Chad Feldheimer: Manolo, you DIDN'T find this.

Manolo: I found it on the floor there.

Chad Feldheimer: Yeah I know. But...

Manolo: Right there on the floor there. It was just lying there.

Burn After Reading

2008

How about a spy story that will make you laugh, as much as it horrifies you? Well, I will say one thing for this Coen brothers film, it will do just that. And as outlandish has as it is, it's also completely believable. It's Washington D.C. after all! And we all know how the nation's capitol seems to be right now. We have a FEMA official who thinks he can teleport to almost any Waffle House of his choice. A Health and Human Services Secretary who has been known to swim in raw sewage, and snort cocaine off a toilet seat. Then there's Trump, need I say more? When you consider all these losers, the losers in the movie seem perfectly normal. The twists and turns are hysterical! The Coen brothers flair for ironic humor can't be beat!

Just watch it... and laugh. You need it!

Be sure to look for a particularly funny and surreal scene, where

 George Clooney sings, My Eyes Adored You, while showering.
