Birdie scouts assemble! #TroopZero arrives January 17 only on Prime Video.
In a tiny Georgia town in 1977, a motherless girl dreams of life beyond the confines of her trailer-park home in Troop Zero. When her quest for connection leads her to reach for the stars in a competition to be included on NASA’s landmark Golden Record, it becomes clear she will have to depend on some new friends to take her the last mile.
Every night, Christmas Flint (Mckenna Grace) sits under a starry sky with a flashlight, signaling to extraterrestrial visitors that never arrive. Sensitive, imaginative and deeply lonely, Christmas and her equally eccentric best friend Joseph are the ultimate misfits in their rural hometown of Wiggly, Georgia. When Christmas learns that the winners of the annual Birdie Scout Jamboree talent contest will be included on a recording to be sent into space for posterity, her mission in life becomes to join the Scouts and win Jamboree.
When she is blackballed by the snobbish local Birdie Scout troop and their uptight leader Miss Massey (Allison Janney), Christmas rallies a group of elementary-school outliers to start their own chapter. With grudging help from her dad’s irascible office manager, Miss Rayleen (Viola Davis), Christmas and her crew have to bypass every roadblock Miss Massey can find in the fine print of the Birdie bylaws in order to reach the Jamboree and their chance at immortality.
From Christmas’ solitary late-night vigils to a final show-stopping musical performance, Troop Zero is an endearing and magical tale set against a backdrop of beloved hits of the ’70s, as Christmas forges friendships that will change her life and help her find a real family.
Enter for your chance to win FOUR free passes to the St. Louis advance screening of TROOP ZERO. The theatrical sneak preview will be on Saturday, January 11th at 11:00 am.

Luke Lorentzen’s acclaimed new documentary MIDNIGHT FAMILY opens this Friday January 10th at The Tivoli Theater in St. Louis (6350 Delmar)
In Mexico City, the government operates fewer than 45 emergency ambulances for a population of 9 million. This has spawned an underground industry of for-profit ambulances often run by people with little or no training or certification. An exception in this ethically fraught, cutthroat industry, the Ochoa family struggles to keep their financial needs from jeopardizing the people in their care.
When a crackdown by corrupt police pushes the family into greater hardship, they face increasing moral dilemmas even as they continue providing essential emergency medical services.
Director Luke Lorentzen’s notes on MIDNIGHT FAMILY :
“I moved to Mexico City in December of 2015 and lived around the corner from the General Hospital. Every day, I walked past hundreds of desperate people waiting outside the gate of the overburdened facility, and I slowly grew curious about the state of medical services in a city of 9 million. Though I hadn’t come to Mexico to focus on healthcare—I was there to develop an entirely different film—it was impossible to ignore the sheer force of the emotions I encountered on my daily commute. Without knowing exactly what to look for, I began to explore.I knew I had found a story worth telling after meeting the Ochoa family. One afternoon,sixteen-year-old Juan was cleaning their ambulance outside the General Hospital as his 9-year-old brother, Josué, clumsily juggled a soccer ball. Intrigued by the idea of a family-run ambulance, I asked them if I could ride along for a few hours. Fer, the father, was quick to agree. What I experienced that night was jaw-dropping—a film waiting to be made.Over the next six months, I lived in the back of the Ochoas’ ambulance, filming, with gut-wrenching access, Mexico City’s cutthroat underworld of for-profit healthcare. As I soon discovered, this industry was new not only to me but to locals as well. I spoke with politicians,taco stand owners, families and students; almost nobody knew where their ambulances came from or what sort of EMTs were behind the wheel.The Ochoas became my close friends. I loved being with them and knew they were good people. And yet the more time I spent in their ambulance, the more I learned about darker details of their operation. I discovered that they were not all certified as EMTs and that their ambulance was unregistered and not fully equipped. While they continued to provide much-needed services to a city lacking sufficient emergency care, I saw their financial insecurity begin to affect their treatment of their patients. My sense of right and wrong in knots, I kept asking myself, “What would I do here? What’s the better alternative?” I rarely had good answers, if any at all. And as their frequent run-ins with bribe-demanding police officers made clear, the Ochoas were operating within an inherently corrupt, dysfunctional system, trying to scrape by like millions of other Mexican families.As the accidents became more serious and the pressure on the Ochoas intensified, the lines I hoped they wouldn’t cross drew frighteningly close. Though often proud of their work, at other times I worried for the patients in their care. This emotional and ethical confusion became thecentral tension of my story.Working as a one-man crew, it took months of trial and error to figure out how best to tell this story. The Ochoas’ repetitive nightly routine let me experiment with different styles of shooting and gave me multiple opportunities to work with the feelings and energy that I was witnessing.I wanted the film to be first andforemost a thrilling experience. With my camera, I hoped to convey the physical and emotional roller coaster I was riding every night. I knew that interviews, music and voiceover could pull the audience out of the ambulance’s world and lead them to judge the Ochoas’ work from a disconnected perspective. I also knew the questions I wanted to explore were delicate. Viewers would have a spectrum of reactions, and showing the situation instead of telling it would encourage a much richer and more nuanced conversation.Inspired by patiently composed ethnographic works as well as drama-filled narrative films, I felt the Ochoa’s story provided a unique intersection of these two cinematic modes, which are often considered contradictory. My aim was to take an audience on a breathtaking ride while honoring my conviction that long takes and distilled observation could offer a bracing form of realism. “
” Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. “
There is nothing more fun (or romantic) than a Tenacious Eats ‘Movies For Foodies’ Film Series event! This time it’s the beloved 1987 cult classicTHE PRINCESS BRIDE. It’s February 14th (that’s Valentine’s Day Guys!) from 6:30 to 10pm at The Mahler Ballroom (4915 Washington Blvd, St. Louis). Ticket information can be found HERE. A Facebook invite for the event can be found HERE
Doors open at 6:30PM with a special movie themed Selfie Station, cash bar and multiple rounds of film and music trivia for tons of prizes and tickets to future Tenacious Eats Shows!
*Film begins at 7:00PM along with special Teats Treats! No dress code. Costumes always encouraged and rewarded!
*Film will be paused to introduce each course.
*Selfie Station!
*Trivia
$100.00 per person. $125.00 per person day of event. Seating is limited and space cannot be guaranteed unless purchased in advance.
This menu is like a fairy tale!
First Course “As You Wish” Coq au Vin mini pies, Amish chicken, turnip, riesling, Herbs de Provence, Marcoot Alpine cheese, dates, apples, whipped parsnip top and a Sweet Knocker cider reduction.
Second Course “My Name is Inigo Montoya Prepare to Die!” Housemade chorizo, crawfish, hominy, jamon, pomodoro and chickpea stew. Served with 12 month Manchego cheese and bittersweet chocolate sauce.
Third Course “Never go in Against a Sicilian When Death is on the Line!” Farmer’s plate of beet pickled egg, cheese, figs, olives and Salam Bedu Sicilian sausage.
Fourth Course “Fezzik’s Restorative Lamb” Baby New Zealand lamb chop, mushroom bread pudding, potato parisienne, parsley, English peas, carrot, served with a lamb and fig glace.
Fifth Course “To Blave! Max’s Miracle Pill” Dark chocolate coated magic. (Miracle Max’s top secret cure).
Sixth Course “Wuv, Twue Wuv…” Chiffon wedding cake, French buttercream, layers of passion fruit and orange and white chocolate creme anglaise.
One of the best qualities of THE PRINCESS BRIDE is that it simultaneously manages to be both fairytale and fairytale parody. It lampoons the whole world of fairytale and fantasy while, at the same time, celebrating it. Most of the characters within play it for laughs other than the title character (who is, after all, a fairytale princess and not a female Groucho Marx) and Mandy Patinkin’s Spanish revenge-bent swordsman.
The cast, largely composed of lesser-known talents (at the time) and notably absent the big megastars that were then dominating the box office, is superb. The romantic leads were basically unknowns; the beautiful and talented (nice English accent!) Robin Wright and the suave and handsome Cary Elwes. Wally Shawn is also perfectly cast as the supremely intelligent (or so he thinks) Vizzini. Andre the Giant plays the role of giant that was (literally) made for him to play — he does a good job and is very appealing as the archetypal gentle giant. Chris Sarandon gets to go way over the top to great effect as Prince Humperinck (apologies to Englebert, but did they choose the name just ‘cos it’s inherently funny?) and Christopher Guest shows off both another flawless British accent and the ability to quite effectively and quietly capture the feel of your basic model psychopathic sadist. Peter Cook even gets to make an appearance as a clergyman with a speech impediment. Billy Crystal is great and his ad-libs add to the film. Carol Kane is also effective — both of them in extreme make-up — as his wife. Back in the present day reality, Peter Falk is terrific as the grandfather who’s patiently reading the tale to his grandson, well played by young Fred Savage.
I have yet to meet someone who has seen THE PRINCESS BRIDE and didn’t love it
Tenacious Eats is… Unexpected! Visceral! Titillating! Brought to you in High Definition Taste-O-Vision! (Special glasses, not required)
By integrating film and food, Movies for Foodies creates an original experience, a feast for the senses, an event that brings food and film, chefs and diners together.
Tenacious Eats only works with locally produced food procured by them and hard-to-find ingredients, imported from places that specialize in them. With each new film, we write a new menu specific to its story. Sometimes the menu is literal and sometimes it is inspired interpretation. In all cases, each dining experience is different because each film is different.
DOLITTLE opens in St. Louis, Friday, January 17th and WAMG is giving away a family four-pack of passes to the advance screening!
Robert Downey Jr. electrifies one of literature’s most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals: Dolittle.
After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company. But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.
The doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice (Dunkirk’s Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscar® winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (The Big Sick’s Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena, Bumblebee) and a headstrong parrot (Oscar® winner Emma Thompson), who serves as Dolittle’s most trusted advisor and confidante.
The film also stars Antonio Banderas, Michael Sheen (The Queen) and Oscar® winner Jim Broadbent and features additional voice performances from Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard, Frances de la Tour, Carmen Ejogo, Ralph Fiennes, Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, and Craig Robinson.
Directed by Academy Award® winner Stephen Gaghan (Syriana, Traffic), Dolittle is produced by Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum under their Roth/Kirschenbaum Films (Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent) and Susan Downey (Sherlock Holmes franchise, The Judge) for Team Downey. The film is executive produced by Robert Downey Jr., Sarah Bradshaw (The Mummy, Maleficent) and Zachary Roth (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil).
