Get Out and The Post

I usually skip horror movies, but when I noticed the attention that Get Out was receiving this award season, I went to see it.  I think calling it a horror movie does not do it justice.  This film is nice, then creepy, creepier and yes, then an absolute horror.  The black/white relations in it add spice and humor.  All in all, a fully engaging experience and one not to be missed.
The Post is also an excellent film, centered on the publication of the Pentagon Papers.  It depicts the power and achievements of journalism.  Two of our finest big stars, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, deliver compelling performances.
I admit to being so awed by Get Out that I have nothing more to say about The Post.
