5 Things You Can't Miss
The Old Man & the Gun
It is truly a marvel how director David Lowery makes films that are both so straightforward and simple yet feel immensely significant. “The Old Man & the Gun” is constructed from the get-go in such a way that we understand Robert Redford's incarnation of Tucker is the best, most appealing "bad guy" we've ever encountered and if you think you're going to change your mind as the film goes on and reveals more of the character's notorious past Redford is here to make sure you won't. And you don't. From the uber-stylized transitions Lowery uses to capture the infinite amount of charm Redford as Tucker possesses to something as simple as the font in the title cards everything about “The Old Man & the Gun” is inviting, involving, and all-encompassing.

NASCAR Championship
The NASCAR playoffs have narrowed a 16-driver field down to the Final Four and a champion will be decided at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, Nov. 18. The Final Four drivers of Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Martin Truex Jr. have combined to win 22 of the 35 race this year and each of the four have the kind of “win-at-all-costs” mentality that could turn this into one of the most epic NASCAR races of all-time.

Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh
Say what you will about Sandler's feature films over the past 15 years but it's hard to disagree with the fact he is one of the most affable celebrities around. He's just a fun personality and that likability along with a surprising level of self-awareness allow “Adam Sandler: 100% Fresh” to be one of the best things the Sandman has done in a long time. One could seriously skip to any point in this 70-minute set and land on something laugh-out-loud hilarious. The songs are great, the bits are solid, and the arc present in Sandler's character is authentic and heartfelt.

William Goldman's Movies
Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman died at 87 on Friday, Nov. 16 leaving behind a career of movie scripts that easily rank him as one of the greatest in cinematic history. Goldman won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for 1969’s “Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid,” one of the all-time great American Westerns that deftly combines humor into its story. Goldman would also win the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for 1976’s “All the President’s Men.” Maybe his most generally beloved story is 1987’s rom-com fantasy “The Princess Bride,” based off his 1973 novel. Remember one of the all-time greats by watching one of these fantastic films.

The Grinch
There was no reason to expect 2018's “The Grinch” to be anything other than what it so obviously was intended to be: a cash grab. Alas, that's mostly what this 90-minute exercise in "cinematic candy floss" is, but dammit if, by the end of the film, I wasn't wrapped up in the emotional beats of the story that has the viewer feeling sympathy for the grouchy Grinch. I rather liked Benedict Cumberbatch’s take on the guy - appropriately irritated, but not evil or scary. The film also overcomes the biggest obstacle Ron Howard's feature-length version had trouble with and that was stretching the narrative to such a length without feeling like much of it was padded.
