Andy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: ‘Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes’ has outstanding visuals and a surprisingly engaging story

Fan Effect

Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of May 10, 2024. The latest adaptation of the Planet of the Apes movie saga, “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” has outstanding visuals and a surprisingly engaging story. (Check out Steve Salles review here!) The best thing Andy watched this week was "Nowhere Special," a movie about a terminally ill single father in Ireland who is forced to interview potential adoptive families for his 4-year-old son to live with after he passes. With limited showings at the Megaplex Jordan Commons and the Broadway Centre Cinemas, it's worth the effort to catch a showing.

For streaming, there's a series on AppleTVPlus called "Dark Matter" is an interesting sci-fi tale: A physicist gets mugged one night, and when he wakes up, nothing in his life is like it was just hours before. And Mother of the Bride" on Netflix poorly-cast Brooke Shields as a brides mother dealing with an awkward situation.
