The new documentary “Ask Dr. Ruth” reminds anyone who has seen Dr. Ruth on over 500 talk show appearances since 1984 or heard her on her own radio show that started in 1981, that she is one of the most likable celebrities of all time. At age 90, she is constantly busy and walks as fast as anyone and is at all times showing her happy smile that along with her laugh is her most likable attributes.

Ruth Westheimer’s life and success as a famous sex therapist has been a miracle, starting with how she became famous when she was called by a radio station to answer some general questions about sex therapy. Even more of a miracle is how this amazing woman ever lived past the age of 10, when her parents were taken away by the Nazi’s and she was miraculously sent to an orphanage in Switzerland, barely missing being sent to a concentration camp herself.

Westheimer even became a soldier for a time in the Israeli Army and almost lost both of her legs when she was wounded. She was married 3 times, the last time lasted almost 40 years. She had had two children, now has several grandchildren and still at age 90, seems to have the energy she displayed on so many talk shows for the last 35 years. All of Dr. Ruth’s appearances on talk shows like Johnny Carson and David Letterman were always very funny because of her extremely blunt sex talk and the reactions of the embarrassed host.

Ask Dr. Ruth is one of the best biography documentaries I have seen in many years and this film receives my highest recommendation.

Along with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogan has been famous for making a large number of movies that over the years, have been very bad. In 2015, Rogan’s acting performance as Steve Wozniak in the movie “Steve Jobs” was outstanding proving that with the right part, Rogan can be involved in a high quality movie.

The issue with Rogan’s career, has been forgoing quality for raunchy films he has produced only because raunchy sells. The new movie “Long Shot” starring Charlize Theron also has some raunchy moments but this film has a high quality screenplay, written by Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah that makes the unlikely connection between the Secretary of State, played by Theron and an unemployed radical writer Fred Flarsky, played by Rogan, very believable. There are some formulaic plot points in this story that we have all seen before and a predictable ending, but overall I give a strong recommendation to Long Shot and agree with the 83% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

As with all Superhero films, the viewer has to suspend all sense of common sense, logic and laws of physics to fully appreciate the story. If you start to question how ridiculous some of the science involved is, including time travel, you will not appreciate the most important parts; which are the amazing special effects and a screenplay that was very well written.

“Avengers Endgame” is over 3 hours long and to keep an audience’s attention for that long, required a story that that was very well constructed and a screenplay that was written by two screenwriters. Despite the convoluted logic of this story, that concludes last years installment, “Avengers Infinity War”, and 6 infinity stones that caused the debacle of the last movie plus time travel to undo that disaster, the story was engrossing throughout. The main villain Thanos played by Josh Brolin is arguably one of the most dominant villain’s in movie history, as he easily defeats all of the Marvel super hero’s in every fight he has in this film. The newest Marvel Super hero, Captain Marvel, played by Brie Larson has an early appearance at the start of this movie, then goes away until almost the very end. I thought this was probably a logistics issue to get her into this movie despite her commitments to “Captain Marvel” that was filmed after this one. However Larson’s erratic appearances in this film did not make much sense within this story.

The marketing of this film was extremely well done and is one of the main reasons why this movie will be the top grossing film of all time, perhaps even topping 1 billion dollars world wide this weekend. It has been said that this is the very last Avengers movie, and considering this amount of money, I find that hard to believe. We all know that the individual Avengers characters, including Captain Marvel and especially Black Panther will be releasing several new movies in the future, but perhaps there will never be a Marvel character collaboration in one movie ever again. Towards the end of this film there is a scene where every single Marvel character makes an appearance and I will not give away the reason for huge assemblage of cast members. Some of the biggest Marvel fans might not like some of the events that happen in this story, I for one did not like some of the decisions that were made about the future of some Marvel characters.

Despite the very long 3 hours, “Avengers Endgame” receives my highest recommendation and has well earned its 96% consensus on Rotten Tomatoes.
