On Monday, I went personal after a weekend revisiting childhood haunts in Maine and drew connections to two island movies, “Moonrise Kingdom” and “The Lighthouse.”
For Wednesday’s newsletter, I alerted readers to the sharp, affecting streaming premiere, “Together,” on Amazon and DirecTV. It stars James McAvoy and Sharon Horgan.
On Thursday, I sent out a quickie for paying subscribers about my favorite MGM musical, “It’s Always Fair Weather,” playing on Turner Classics and rentable elsewhere.
And to end the week, I touched on new releases “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and “Cry Macho” and dug into the backlist for the funny and provocative documentary “Tim’s Vermeer.”
