    This year's virtual was quite impressive. Somehow the organizers managed to capture what it was like to be in Park City. On this week's we discuss all the movies you'll want to catch up on from

    Sometimes it's not necessarily a surprise when entertainment icons of a certain age die, yet it still comes as an emotional gut-punch when it actually happens. Actor Christopher Plummer is a prime example.

    One of the benefits of this year's virtual was that everyone was actually watching and talking about the movies rather than researching and worrying about which parties on Main Street they might be missing.

    I serendipitously caught up with on for a few minutes today. If I had known the news at the time, I would have asked if he could put in a good word for me with the human resource department or at least pass along my resume.

    HIVE, depicting a sliver of the aftermath of the war in Kosovo, is one of those movies you see at that sticks with you for years. So subtle. So quiet. So moving. So well told by Blerta Basholli. It leaves an impression.

    New Frontiers at truly mimics real life. Bumped into in a chat group. Before I could say hello he saw someone's avatar pass by and said he had to run off to speak with them. Just like when we're in Park City. (I'm sure Eric knows I'm joking to make my point.)

    I'm sure some will fault the drama MASS for being too frustrating or too talky or being too much like a play. But for me the movie simply worked on an emotional level. Great performances from Jason Isaacs, Martha Plimpton, Ann Dowd and Reed Birney.

    Ninja Thyberg's PLEASURE is sure to make a splash and stir up as much buzz as one might expect of a movie set in the porn industry. Hopefully its subject matter won't overshadow a confident debut for both the director and lead actress, Sofia Kappel.

    JOCKEY immerses its viewers in the horse racing world. A well crafted directorial debut from who hangs the whole film on a character-driven, career-defining performance by . I can see why picked it up.

    Watching a parade of random people review profiles on dating apps while talking about their love lives should not be nearly as intriguing as Pacho Velez's documentary SEARCHERS. It slowly ensnares you the longer you watch.

    I'm a sucker for good docs like Debbie Lum's TRY HARDER about an SF high school of over-achieving AP machines with 1600 SAT scores trying to get into Ivy League universities. Made me glad to have already finished college and not have to apply myself.

    PASSING is a solid directorial debut from Rebecca Hall at . Features great performances from Ruth Negga and , stunning B&W cinematography and an understated tone that worked for me, but try the patience of some. Definitely worth seeing.

    For as bad a year as CEO Adam Aron had in 2020, this week may have made up for it. A great profile in the by , landing an additional $900 million in capital and a stock price that rose 300% in a single day.
