It's Midday at the Movies!To help us spotlight some of the latest crop of Oscar contenders, author and Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday and founding director of the Maryland Film Festival Jed Dietz join Tom in the studio. Among the new films they discuss are:First Man, a retelling of the mission to land the first man on the moon from acclaimed director Damien Chazelle, opened in October to positive reviews.The much-anticipated Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody has earned a lukewarm critical response ahead of its wide release this weekend.And Halloween, an effort to revitalize the now decades-old horror franchise, performed reasonably well after the preceding series of disappointing installments.Email us at [email protected], tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.
