I spent some time with director Ryan White to talk about the making of the new documentary “Good Night Oppy.” The film follows Opportunity, the Mars Exploration Rover who (yup, I said who — she’s like a human in the documentary) was expected to live for only 90 days but she ultimately explored the red planet for nearly 15 years.

Ann Dowd and Reed Birney play parents of a school shooter meeting the parents of one of the victims in the emotionally powerful “Mass.” I can just sit and listen to both actors talk about “Mass” forever! They’re so eloquent and sweet in describing the film and working with writer/director Fran Kranz. Take a look and visually imagine what they are saying. They’re magical!

You may know Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” series but get ready to see him play a long-suffering father of a shooting victim in the fantastic “Mass” from writer/director Fran Kranz. Isaacs stars as the husband of Martha Plimpton’s Gail and the film is about a meeting between the parents of the victim and the perpetrator’s mother and father played by Ann Dowd and Reed Britney respectively.

The new film “Palm Springs” arrives in Hulu and select drive-in theaters like at our very own Palm Springs Cultural Center, but is it worth a trip? Manny the Movie Guy has the answer.
