Kevin Costner's "Horizon" and "Fly Me to the Moon" with Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. Reviews.

 


Horizon and Fly Me to the Moon
Two films worth seeing in a theater

I want you to go to the movies. Specifically, I want you to see Horizon: An American Saga Chapter One and Fly Me to the Moon, even though both films received some bad reviews.

First, let me explain why I want you to go the movies at all. I'm a teacher, and I'm noticing among young people increasing difficulty in the ability to behave appropriately with other human beings. Families are smaller. Kids are growing up in Brutalist condo developments with no personality, no sidewalks, no churches, no downtown, no community centers. They spend their time alone staring at devices. Many young people today are effectively crippled. They don't make eye contact. They don't say, "Excuse me."
