Description

"Bad Education" is a 2019 black comedy-drama film directed by Cory Finley. The movie is based on the true story of the largest public school embezzlement scandal in American history, which took place in the Roslyn School District in Long Island, New York. The film follows the story of Frank Tassone, the superintendent of the school district, and his assistant superintendent, Pam Gluckin, as they carry out a scheme to steal millions of dollars from the district's budget.

The film stars Hugh Jackman as Tassone, and Allison Janney as Gluckin, with supporting roles from Ray Romano and Geraldine Viswanathan. The movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019, and was later released on the streaming platform HBO.

"Bad Education" was praised for its sharp writing, strong performances, and deft handling of the sensitive subject matter. The film explores themes of corruption, ambition, and the consequences of unchecked power. It serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in public institutions, and the dangers of blindly trusting those in positions of authority.

Zookeeper immediately deserves nomination for the "Cute" Hall of Fame. Or "precious" or "adorable" or one of those ever so warm and friendly adjectives that describe both people and animals you just want to hug with all your might. You must understand that the animals star in Zookeeper, and the people are the supporting cast. Naturally teddy-bearish Kevin James stars as Griffin Keyes, long-time zookeeper who doesn't get out much. More at home with his critters than members of his own species, the zookeeper bravely resolves to leave the zoo and venture out into the bigger world, where he hopes, naturally enough, he can get a life and get a girl. When the animals ferret-out Griffin's plan, they feel so desperately heart-broken they elect to break their "code of silence," revealing not only that they can talk but also that they have quite a bit to say on questions of love, romance, and mating. Rosario Dawson plays Kate, "the girl." The animals, of course, conspire to help their boy win the girl and to keep their happy family together. Seriously, how cute is that!"Zookeeper features an exceptionally high-powered collection of voice talents: Adam Sandler plays a Capuchin monkey, Cher appropriately plays a lioness opposite Sylvester Stallone's lion, Billy Crystal plays a llama, and the venerable Don Rickles gives us his very best frog. And that's just the headliners. Zookeeper also has the strange distinction of going into the film history books as the last movie MGM studios wrapped before it went into bankruptcy. That part isn't cute—just quirky.
