At some point I’m going to dedicate a Lazy Sunday to something less lazy than looking back at movie review, but The Portly Politico is rapidly turning into a film review website that occasionally plops out some Right-wing Truth nuggets, so why not embrace destiny?
Doing that is a lot easier when you have awesome contributors. I’m fortunate to have one of the best: Audre Myers. She always delivers, often when I need her most! Lately, she’s been contributing some excellent film reviews, which I run on Wednesdays (when available) as Midweek Myers Movie Reviews. Here are three of her choice morsels for your (Turkish?) delight:
- “Midweek Myers Movie Review: The Lion in Winter (1968)” – Katherine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine? Sounds like a recipe for frosty patrician aloofness in 1968’s The Lion in Winter.
- “Midweek Myers Movie Review: The Jolson Story (1946)” – Al Jolson’s insatiable appetite for the spotlight means his wife leaves him; it’s a tale as old as time in 1946’s The Jolson Story.
- “Midweek Myers Movie Review: King Kong (1933)” – For those of a more action-packed bent, Audre kicks it old-school with a true classic, 1933’s behemoth King Kong.
Happy Sunday!

Audre’s review of The Lion in Winter made us buy it. I wish my reviews had that effect! 🙂
I know Audre is busy at present, with her writing duties on Neo, but it’s great to see her name on more pieces here. Long may that continue.

The power of reputation, eh? I need to get Audre to endorse my various products and services.
