THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN
Release: August 9, 2019
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Simon Curtis
Screenplay by: Mark Bomback
Based on the novel by Garth Stein
Producers: Neal H. Moritz, Patrick Dempsey, Tania Landau
Cast: Milo Ventimiglia, Amanda Seyfried, Gary Cole, Kathy Baker, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Martin Donovan and the voice of Kevin Costner
Based on the best-selling novel by Garth Stein, THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN is a heartfelt tale narrated by a witty and philosophical dog named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner). Through his bond with his owner, Denny Swift (Milo Ventimiglia), an aspiring Formula One race car driver, Enzo has gained tremendous insight into the human condition and understands that the techniques needed on the racetrack can also be used to successfully navigate the journey of life. The film follows Denny and the loves of his life - his wife, Eve (Amanda Seyfried), their young daughter Zoe (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and ultimately, his true best friend, Enzo.
The Art of Racing in the Rain is the latest dog movie to hit theaters. It is unabashedly a pet lover’s film. Any pet will do; dog, cat, chinchilla. Racing invites those audiences who read the best-selling book by the same title, as well as everyone who has ever seen any incarnation of a pet movie (Marely & Me, Hachi, etc.) and adds to that anyone who enjoys films about human compassion. Racing is for everyone.
You don’t have to have a personal investment in pet to appreciate the adorable Enzo’s (the dog) philosophies about personal interactions. Even as a puppy, Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner) provides an insightful, almost sage, view of the world around him. Enzo’s perceptions of the world, brilliantly told in Costner’s voice, drives the movie like a one of Denny Swift’s (played by Milo Ventimiglia) cars.
The plot points weren’t groundbreaking. There were complications and obstacles that have been done, especially in dog movies, but just when one started to piece together the predictable plot on one’s own, there was an extended close-up shot of Enzo’s furry face to make people stop caring that they knew how the rest of the story was going to go. It went in cycles; complication, predictability, and cute dog close-up... awwwww.
Still, it is worth the price of admission. The cast sold the story. They appeared to actually enjoy their story and that made the audience want to like it, too. Every bit of Racing felt genuine and sincere. It’s lighter fare, a PG movie in a rated R world. It was a pleasant escape.
The Art of Racing in the Rain is playing everywhere now. Give it a look... and bring tissues.

MPAA Rating: PG-13
WOMAN IN GOLD is the remarkable true story of one woman's journey to reclaim her heritage and seek justice for what happened to her family. Sixty years after she fled Vienna during World War II, an elderly Jewish woman, Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren), starts her journey to retrieve family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them Klimt's famous painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Together with her inexperienced but plucky young lawyer Randy Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds), she embarks upon a major battle which takes them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the U.S. Supreme Court, and forces her to confront difficult truths about the past along the way.
Woman in Gold is a film based on the true story of Maria Altman, a Jewish woman who escaped Nazi-occupied Austria during World War II, and her struggle to reclaim a famed portrait of her aunt from the Austrian government. The film stars Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds and Daniel Bruhl as the the group set on righting a theft that occurred sixty years prior.
I very much enjoyed Woman in Gold. Helen Mirren is always great. Her in any film is worth the price of admission. She played the role of Maria Altmann sincerely and convincingly. Ryan Reynolds, as Altmann's inexperienced attorney, was also very good. He was better in this film than he is in a lot of the romantic comedies in which he stars. Daniel Bruhl finished the trio nicely as the Viennese helping hand who has his own reasons for wanting to correct the injustices suffered by Altmann.
Be ready to flash back in time for this one. The film is about equally divided between the present and Nazi-occupied Austria sixty years before. The time jumps worked well. I enjoyed seeing Austria before the War took it's toll. The scenery is beautiful.
The film is very emotional. But, it's not overly sad or sappy. There is a line in the dialogue which resonates as true. "Not everything is about the Holocaust." This movie is just that. It is about many of the other injustices of World War II, and I think it's important in that regard.
I wish you would go see this one. It's not going to be a huge blockbuster, but it's a fine movie. The events in the film really happened. At then end, there are pictures of the people on who this movie is based. That brought a tear to my eye. Go see Woman in Gold when in opens this weekend.
