Green Book (2018)



A working-class Italian-American bouncer becomes the driver of an African-American classical pianist on a tour of venues through the 1960s American South.

Entertaining and heartfelt buddy movie with the two men, in almost all aspects sheer opposites, find friendship against the obstacles of a hostile society;  made with great sensitivity and good period detail, but its the two excellent leads that make it happen.

The Founder (2016)


The story of Ray Kroc, a salesman who turned two brothers' innovative fast food eatery, McDonald's, into one of the biggest restaurant businesses in the world.

Intriguing and ultimately sad tale of greed vs. quality and integrity that exemplifies the making of an American corporation, although the movie ostensibly omits any social and political issues of the topic; Michael Keaton is perfect as the shallow and heartless door-to-door salesman that becomes a brutal corporate magnate.
