AT THE MOVIES:
OPENING MARCH 6
Greed is a British satirical comedy
about the ultra-rich, centering
on Sir Richard McCreadie (Steve
Coogan), a retail fashion mag-
nate. The film’
s set on a Greek
island, where the 60th birthday
of McCreadie is being celebrated
with a huge “Gladiator-themed”
party. The film explores the divide
between McCreadie’
s wealth and
the dire poverty of the persons who
make his clothes. The backstory
is told through documentary-like
film scenes and via a journalist
who is hired to write McCreadie’
s
biography. Isla Fisher, 44, co-stars
as Samantha, McCreadie’
s ex-wife.
Samantha really unloads about
the “real” McCreadie. British actor
Stephen Fry, 62, has a cameo in a
party scene, playing himself. (Main
Art Theater, Royal Oak)
The Way Back stars Ben Affleck
as Jack Cunningham, a former
high school basketball star who
became mired in alcohol abuse
and lost a college scholarship. He
is working a dead-end job when,
out of the blue, he is offered the
job of coaching his old high school
team. Michaela Watkins, 48
(Casual), has a large supporting
role. Affleck has said that film has
acted sometimes as therapy for
him as he coped with his own,
well-publicized alcohol addiction.
HILLARY ON HULU
The four-part documentary Hillary,
about the former first lady and
secretary of state, begins stream-
ing on Hulu on Friday, March 6.
Each episode will be released on
successive Fridays. Hillary, an
original Hulu film, was shown at
the Sundance Film Festival last
December and received very good
reviews. The advance publicity
notes: “Hillary is a remarkably
intimate portrait of a woman in the
public eye, [with] unprecedented
personal access to the former first
lady … the series gives viewers an
up-close view of the woman who
has permeated American culture
for more than 30 years.” The film
was directed by Nanette Burstein,
49. Her previous documentaries
include the Oscar-nominated On
the Ropes, about boxing.
MORANIS RETURNS
Rick Moranis, 67, will return to
the big screen to star in Shrunk,
a sequel in the Honey, I Shrunk
the Kids series of movies. Josh
Gad, 38, will co-star in this Disney
film. Moranis starred or co-starred
in a number of hit movies
(Ghostbusters, Parenthood and the
Honey I Shrunk films) before taking
a very long hiatus to raise his two
children. His Jewish wife, Ann
Belsky, a costume designer and
the mother of his children, died of
breast cancer in 1991. Moranis
stopped doing live action films in
1997 but continued to do voice-
over parts in animated films. In
2013, he told the NY Times that
he returned to his hometown of
Toronto to raise his kids following
Ann’
s death. That move, he said,
brought him into the orbit of friends
and family who “had a practicing
Jewish culture.” A culture he
re-embraced.
