It's another edition of Midday at the Movies, and our favorite movie mavens -- Jed Dietz, founding director of the Maryland Film Festival and Ann Hornaday, film critic for the Washington Post -- join Tom to spotlight film industry trends and some hot new releases.One of the flicks they'll talk about today is the new documentary, Three Identical Strangers, by director Tim Wardle. It tells the story of three identical triplets who were separated at birth but who find each other coincidentally as young men, and who then discover the dark truth of why they were separated. Jed and Ann offer very different takes on the latest Joaquin Phoenix vehicle, director Gus Van Sant's Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot, based on the cartoonist John Callahan's memoir of his struggle with alcoholism and the aftermath of a near-fatal car wreck.And Tom asks Ann and Jed about the latest run of films that explore the Daddy-Daughter relationship, a theme that's been a mainstay of Hollywood movies for decades.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
