Read my spoiler-free movie review of  Unorthodox (2020).

Unorthodox stars Shira Haas as Esther, a young ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman who flees her arranged marriage and religious community to start a new life in Berlin.

Additional key cast includes Amit Rahav and Jeff Wilbusch.

This looks very promising. The kind of film that will certainly teach me a few things, and remind me to appreciate my freedoms.

Aaron Altaras, Tamar Amit-Joseph, Ronit Asheri, Dina Doron, Alex Reid, Eli Rosen, Langston Uibel and Isabel Schosnig also star.

Unorthodox Release Dates: March 26th, 2020 (US)…

Home for Christmas is the 6-episode story of perpetually single Johanne (Ida Elise Broch). Johanne is fed up with the constant comments on her relationship status, so she begins a 24-day hunt for a partner to bring home for Christmas.

Additional key cast includes Arthur Hakalahti, Hege Schøyen and Felix Sandman.

I can’t say I immediately understand why the lie at the beginning of this trailer happened, but I do like the idea of a story about a young woman choosing to live her truth, whatever that maybe.

Also, I have to applaud the start of this trailer because the opening dialogue caught my attention immediately. That’s not something that happens frequently for me. Especially where subtitled movies are concerned.

Cat Haave, Loekke Calle, Kingsford Siayor and Oddgeir Thune also star.

Directed by Timothy Greenberg, Living With Yourself stars Paul Rudd, Aisling Bea and Desmin Borges in an intriguing comedy series.

It’s the story of a man who undergoes an experimental treatment to improve his life. Only, unexpected consequences occur.

This is the most intriguing premise I’ve seen in a while. I’m thinking cloning, but who knows. I’m interested in Rudd’s performance. Or should I say performances?

Karen Pittman, Zoe Chao, Joseph Bessette, Rob Yang, Eden Malyn, Gopal Lalwani and Emily Young also star.

Living With Yourself Release Dates: October 18th, 2019 (US), Internet / Netflix…

Inside Bill’s Brain – Decoding Bill Gates is a new Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth (2006), He Named Me Malala (2015)-directed documentary about the Microsoft founder.

The three-part Netflix film will tell us the in-depth and unfiltered life story of Mr. Gates, as he continues to pursue unique solutions to some of the world’s most complex problems.

The reason for my interest is that he’s extraordinary, and I already know quite a lot about America’s other computer software king; Steven Paul Jobs.

Considering Bill’s multi-processing genius brain, I wonder precisely how different his brain and the average person’s non-genius brain would appear when compared and examined.

Looking forward to finding out about all that Mr. Gates did and does in business and in the name of humanity.

Inside Bill’s Brain – Decoding Bill Gates Release Dates: September 20th, 2019 (US) Netflix/Internet.

The Spy is a new historical drama starring Sacha Baron Cohen and based on the life of Israeli spy, Eli Cohen. Eli Cohen is known for successfully going undercover in Syria and ultimately changing the course of Israel’s history.

Additional key cast includes Noah Emerich, Hadar Ratzon Rotem and Nassim Ahmed.

The intriguing dramatic story and my gratitude for the fact that Sacha Baron Cohen is responsible for a sizeable number of my past laughs; these are the two reasons I’ll make time for this one. I feel like he deserves my attention for one of his first wholly dramatic roles.

Also, you may be wondering, and the answer is yes, already wondering, and yes. Sacha Baron Cohen is indeed a distant relative of Eli Cohen. A truth that makes the idea of his performance in this role even more interesting.

Yael Etan, Mourad Zaoui, Hicham Goullal, Hassam Ghancy, Uri Gavriel, Waleed Zuaiter, Hyam Zaytoun, Alexander Siddig, Ait ben Azzouz Brahim and Maria Zreik also star.

The Spy Release Dates: September 6th, 2019, (US)…
