Terry Hunter reviews BLUE BAYOU

Billy V spoke with Takeru "Tak" Tanabe from Kailua-Kona and Jerome Kupukaʻa from Kapolei.

DEAR EVAN HANSEN is the film version of the Broadway hit that won six Tony Awards in 2017. The play’s leading actor, Ben Platt, reprises his role in this stirring, coming-of-age musical about a lonely, anxious high school student. The songs are emotional anthems; Ben Platt’s singing and acting are outstanding; and the creative cinematography and editing are first rate. Anyone who enjoys musical theater should not miss this heartfelt musical film. (Only in Theaters)

Terry Hunter gives his weekly film review on 'The Card Counter,' a movie about a skilled but very troubled gambler.

The Netflix series "The Crown" was one of the big winners of the night. It won Best Drama Series, and stars Olivia Colman and Josh O'Connor took home awards for their roles as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, respectively.

Just after the horrific terrorist attacks on 9/11, Congress passed a bill to help compensate the families of the victims for the tragic loss of their loved ones. A new Netflix movie called WORTH stars Michael Keaton as Ken Feinberg, the mediator charged with the impossible task of deciding how much money each family should get. WORTH is an intense, well acted drama, based on the true story of the emotional struggle the mediator and the families went through in coming to an agreement about how much money they should get. Feinberg initially believes he can assign a cash value to each victim’s life. But gradually, he comes to understand that instead of just trying to be fair and impartial, he must really listen to the grieving families and empathize with their pain. WORTH is powerful and very, very good. I had a hard time watching some scenes, but I’m really glad I stuck with it. (Also starring Amy Ryan and Stanley Tucci; Netflix only)
