"The Burial," a new film from Amazon Prime Video, hits theaters October 6th and streaming on October 13th. This crowd-pleaser is a true David and Goliath story that's sure to have you cheering in your seat. At least that's what happened at the theater where I saw the movie.

Stories of those who lived, not for themselves, but for others can have great influence in this time when it seems like so many people are just looking out for number one. Devotion is one such story that not only highlights selfless living but tragic racism that is, unfortunately, still an all-too-familiar happening in our own day and age.

The new movie, First Responders, in theaters as a Fathom Event on Monday and Tuesday, October 24 and 25, honors the men and women who often sacrifice much and sometimes sacrifice all to respond when anyone dials 9-1-1.

In theaters two nights only, May 16th and 17th. Get as many people as you can to see it. If you do miss it in the theater, go to the film's official website to see how you can view the film after it's theatrical run.

Written and directed by Kenneth Branagh, this semi-autobiographical historical drama follows 9-year-old Buddy, his parents, older brother, and grandparents as their lives change drastically when their quiet neighborhood in Belfast turns violent on August 15, 1969.

When I heard that a remake of "West Side Story" was being done, apprehension abounded. Why mess with a classic? After all, the 1961 film won ten Oscars including Best Picture and Best Actress for Rita Moreno in the role of Anita. But if anyone could pull it off it was Steven Spielberg.

The films coming out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the past year have been OK, but not great. The third film in the Jon Watts-directed Spider-Man trilogy remedies that situation with "Spider-Man: No Way Home." It's all about redemption and second chances.

Actor-turned-writer/director, Fran Kranz, tackles a tough subject in his feature film debut, "Mass." The emotional aftermath of a school shooting for family members left behind seems like an unusual plot for a film, but Kranz hits all the right notes in this understated but realistic portrayal of two couples struggling to come to terms with what happened at their sons' school six years previous.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Apple TV+ brings to the screen the musical that pays tribute to the people of Gander, Newfoundland, who welcomed over 7,000 people, practically doubling their population, when planes were diverted from American airspace after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The musical, at the same time heartwarming, funny, and respectful, tells the stories of the best of humanity on a day when the worst was also in evidence.
