Hello, Movie Buffs! 
     Directed by Damien Chazelle (La La Land), written by Josh Singer (Spotlight, The Post), and based on the novel by James R. Hansen, First Man (2018) is a historical biopic film set in the 1960’s when the international space race between the USA and the Soviets is at an all-time high. At the start of the film the Soviets may have a substantial lead over the US but unwilling to be outdone, the US plans the first manned mission to the moon with astronaut Neil Armstrong as mission commander. This film does not only tell the story of Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) getting to the moon but it also shows how this one mission affected his family and those closest to them. Despite the challenges and losses that he has endured both in his professional life and his personal life, Armstrong agrees to the mission knowing full well that he may never come home. Despite already knowing the outcome, First Man will keep you on the edge of your seat with a beautiful, emotional, and somewhat distorting journey through Neil Armstrong’s most formidable years and the risks these pioneers took in the name of space exploration.

Hello, Movie Buffs! 
     In April of 1970, three men – Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), Fred Haise (Bill Paxton), and Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) – were sent into space for a “routine” second walk on the moon. Everything is going according to plan until April 13, 1970, when everything suddenly goes horribly wrong. When the oxygen tank in their service module suffers an electrical short and explodes, the men find themselves in a life and death situation that had Lovell utter those famous words, "Houston, we have a problem". With 2/3 of their fuel cells gone, their navigational systems are shot, and their life support is falling rapidly. It was bad when they discovered that their planned moonwalk was canceled, but it got worse when the likelihood of them coming home alive started to rapidly diminish. Thanks to the help from the brave men and women at Mission Control and the prayers of all those watching did Lovell, Haise, and Swigert safely land in the South Pacific on April 17th, 1970.
