White Noise, Bullet Train, Fiji Water, The Whale

The Cogill’s appear perplexed by writer, and director Noah Baumbach’s expensive, absurdist comedy set in the 1980s. Sometimes it works, but more often, it doesn’t. As escapist fare, Hayley and Gary finally get around to watching Brad Pitt in, “Bullet Train” and enjoyed both the ability to laugh and be entertained by an off-the-rails Japanese mafia movie traveling at high speed. Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, forgoes her wine expertise and pairs “White Noise" with the satirical bombardment of well-known brands and products continually flashing across the screen. For “Bullet Train,” she indulges in a well-known bottle of “Fiji Water” because it not only tastes good but becomes an intentional, well-defined character in Pitt’s action movie. And finally, film critic, Gary Cogill, embraces the melancholy sadness of “The Whale,” and welcomes the return of Brendan Fraser to the big screen with an Oscar-worthy performance.
