(upbeat music) hello everybody, i'm kevin mccarthy and i'm glad to be with you as you continue to enjoy the holidays. geekout >> i'm kevin mccarthy glad be toy were you as you continue to enjoy the holidays overters thet half hour i'll be geeking out ao with you about what's in theaters right now.at i cit my favorite films of 2016 and also what i cannot wait to seew at the box office in 2017.er thu let's kick off what is showingfh right now in the movie theaters you have to go see. first up the movie passengers. this is the sci-fi romance starring jennifer lawrence and chris pratt.nothpl this movie essentially deals with a spacecraft that's traveling to another planet on a 120 year journey.rs wakup 9 the problem is chris pratt and jennifer lawrence characters wake up 90 years too early from their hibernation pod trying figure out how to go back to sleep if they don't they'll die, before the ship gets to the nexe planet i love the b

the middle of this film. it's shot beautifully the chemistry work.s ofal chris pratt together., it starts off really strong.ilea the beginning and the middle are really well done puts in you acd world dilemma what would you do if you were your characters. it's directed by the guy whonote directed imitation games. iitid not like the ending ending it did not live up to what the movie was setting up. did not require that type ofrt m ending it became an action movie when i loved the drama and the romance part of it more. budefi matinee on my scale. not really worth paying full tick price to see definitely worth seeing if you love these two actors three out of five basically a c grade on my scale. next up a as sin's creed starring michael fast bender based on the video gamesystem ce franchise much it is new story. he plays leading character inons the movie system called through an miss able

onnect back with one of his ancestors during the spanish inquisition ands, michael fast bender fantastic in the movie. marian, is great, injury my irons, michael k. williams you know from the wire.ar the problem thee way action an, story are way too couldn't va lval lawsuited you saw him b thon machinep those scenes are awesome.hose ss those are the annie missy wednesdays. during though sequences you'rete actually being engage in the action as it cuts back and forth between the 1400s and presentwaf day. but other than that, i foul it way too confusing at times. and for me a movie that has to be well done has to trance zenao to all audiences not just theha. gamers i've gate 2.5 out of five. wait for the rental on that onei next up, movie called why him i'm so excited about thisint movie bryan cranston and james franco are starring in an ran rated raunchy comedy the ideabrn behind the film is that james franco's character is dating bryan cranston' daughter and hen wants to ask for her hand in marriage but he's not

man that she was -- he was hoping she would choose. now, the movie itself very very r rated i was laughing outloud the entire time.at tim again, not for kids. loveeighths really -- really funny film at times keeganut pfm michael key is great. i love griffin gluck as well so many stand out performanceswillg there are so many moments you will be laughing outloud and i love seeing bryan cranston in ki massive breakingnd o bad fan. cool to see him kind of switch back to malcolm in the middleki. type of roll. i gave 84 out of five. hilarious again not for kids. mr. denzel washington. based on the august wilson playa now the cool thing about this, denzel and viola actually didect this show on broadway together. nooundenzel directing the screen play. written by august wilson, and film revolves around a family in the 1950s in pittsburgh as the father struggles providing, trying to provide for the family keep everything together.n. incredible perfoan

viola davis and denzel washington. this scene alone is worth seeini in theaters. it plays like a play. v it really does. feels like a play when you're watching it much it's veryes arm intimate. it's very important at times. i think the performances are a mazing. ass thi viola davis i think will win an academy award for supporting actress this year for this filmi denzel will definitely be nominated for best actor but i think it will go to casey affleck foreman chester by thene sea. i gave that pour point five out of five. is m finally hidden figures one ofe the most important films of 2016 this movie is exclusively opening up al regal galleryupler place on christmas day right here in d.c.onuary a couple other places around the country.the ory goes everywhere on january 6th. this is the story of three african-american the main brains behind nasa's first successful space mission specifically focusing on john glenn. a beautiful story at a rare row henson, octavia spencers, jonelle more ray, music by i cea pharell.

emotional film. i'm not going to lie i cried att the end. r beold. a film that makes you feel great when you walk out. story that i can't believe hasde never been told. i new nothing about this story and neither did the cast members and we'll hear from them coming up here. i gave that movie a 4.5 out of . five. highly rem seeing that movie.res it's a very very inspiring film. by the way pharrell's music every song you wrote run, able r are fantastic.o 2016as b you'll definitely be singing them when you leave the theater. all right.l the wo 2016 another great year for me being able to interview all the world's hottest stars. one-on- one with the a list actors including denzel washington, bryan cranston, jennifer lawrence. stay tune.

(upbeat music) you have identification on you? we're just on our way to work at nasa, sir. i had no idea they hired. there're quite a few women working in the space program. alright, that is a clip from hidden figures, one of the greatest movies you'll see this year in theater.

happy to be here with you, and i was very lucky in 2016 to head out to hollywood countless times, up to new york, overseas to europe, to interview some of the biggest stars in the world. and last segment, you saw me reviewing five films, now i'm going to show you my interview clips with the stars of those movies. first up is jennifer lawrence and chris pratt. i had a chance to sit down with them, in los angeles for their film passengers, and the scene you're seeing right here is chris pratt delivering a note to jennifer lawrence, hand-written asking her to go on a date. now, it reminded me when i was in seventh grade, i would pass notes to girls and i'd say would you go out with me? circle yes no or maybe. now, i just remember doing that, so i wanted to know if jennifer lawrence and chris pratt had that same experience when they were in middle school and high school, watch this. did you guys ever deal with that, when you were in middle school and high school? did you do the notes? yeah, oh yeah, of course. i mean, i feel like there's an art form to the love note, and it's sadly passed.

everything is digital now, we text now-facebook, like there's likes and emoticons, but you know, there used to be like, a whole prison system for passing a note, you know, where you had to go through seven or eight hands before it would get to the other person. did you get them when you were in middle school, like the yes no maybe ones, you circle like would you go out with me? yeah, well, i mean, maybe always puts you in an uncomfortable situation, cause you're like well now if i say yes, i'm going to sound desperate. or, sometimes if it was no i would write, comma thank you. aw, that's nice. yeah. aww. me @kevinmccarthytv, let me know if that's something you went through in school. i'm sure a lot of people did, but i just remember it very specifically, i can remember the name of the girls i sent them to, when i was in seventh grade doing that. but that movie passengers is in theaters right now, and starring chris pratt and jennifer lawrence. next up is assassin's creed, which i just reviewed in the last segment, gave it a two and a half out of five. wasn't a massive fan of the movie, but michael fassbender is one of the best actors working today. i loved him as magneto in the x-men films,

now, i had the incredible honor of traveling all the way to seville, spain, to try and re-create some of these stunt scenes that you're seeing in assassin's creed, that meant like diving off of a fake building, i guess if you want to say that, but also i was doing so many things, parkour, running, weapons training, it was very very cool. so i spoke to michael fassbender, and i wanted to show him some of my footage that i got when i was in spain, and i jokingly said that i'm trying to take his role in the sequel, this was his reaction. i'm actually auditioning for your role in the sequel. excellent. yeah, so i went to-- they told me they were going to replace me, i didn't believe them. (laughing) oh nice, roly poly. yup. (upbeat music) here comes the run on the rooftop. yeah oh that's good. (laughing) come on, you're scared aren't you? you're worried about it? yeah. it's okay. i like the commitment. (laughs) i was, i had the hood down and everything.

oh, uh, i like it, oh nice. how was the leap? the drop backwards, impressive. did you do the backwards drop? i don't know if i did a backwards drop, you have one up on me. see? that takes, you know, you gotta sort of be trusting in that maneuver. you heard him say it, i have one up on him. so he's a producer of the assassin's creed films. i don't know if he's going to replace himself with me. i mean, those moves were pretty good, i gotta say, and he admitted that they were great as well. that movie's playing in theaters right now, that's michael fassbender. if you haven't seen steve jobs, highly recommend that, or x-men first class, two great films that he was a part of, also shame is an amazing film as well. next up is the movie why him? i reviewed that last segment as well, and i loved bryan cranston, i loved james franco and this is something i've asked actors before, but i've always really wanted them to know that if you watch the movie closely, there's some great moments in the film where we see bryan cranston's character with pictures of his daughter as the daughter's growing up. but you can tell these are actual real photos

age, with his real child, so i wanted to know how they did that, how they do the face swap, but also are any of those photos of his real daughter? watch this. is that really you with your daughter, like older photos of that? it's a mix, sometimes it's a real picture that i brought in with my real daughter, and when she was a baby baby, it was actually her. that's her on screen. that's my daughter, with me, onscreen, because it's a little infant. and then zoey brought in pictures, and sometimes we would replace my face. i mean, we would put in my face, in a picture of hers, or put in her face in a picture of mine or something like that, just to tie it in. film is very very raunchy, you saw james franco sitting there next to him. he wasn't saying much there but the interview itself is in full on my twitter @kevinmccarthytv or facebook facebook.com/kevinmccarthyfox. alright, so next up, denzel washington,

i mean being able to sit down with this gentleman, one of the greatest honors, because i grew up watching denzel's films, like i think everybody did. and for me, training day and man on fire, man on fire's my favorite movie of his i believe, but fences he's actually directing and starring in the film. he played this character on broadway, but when i went back and watched some of the broadway footage, in the broadway scenes, this particular moment you're watching right now, there was some laughter from the audience because of some of the lines that he was saying. but when you watch it in the movie, it's very serious, very intimate, very in your face. and i wanted to know why he thinks it plays differently in front of a stage audience versus a movie theater, listen to this. you actually answered it, when you were asking the question. you said "in your face". yeah. because now we're here. ooh. see, in a play, you're sitting back, five rows, 20 rows, 50 rows back. both actors, like say you're the audience, we have to play it in a way

s a little bit, right? as we talk, whichever configuration we're playing out. so the intensity now in the film, hmm, interesting. right. so if the two, you and i are talking now, and the audience is out there, there's less intensity, but when that camera gets here now, now it's like, it's a bit more intense, and it actually builds. and, i went a little harder. interesting that's what i, i had different takes and that's the one i chose, those are the ones i chose. yeah one of the greatest actors of all time, if you haven't seen man on fire, i think that's personally my favorite role with denzel washington. i remember the first time i ever spoke to him, they were wrapping me up and i said "i wish we had more time", which is a famous line from that movie, and he was so cool about it, he started laughing. he's just a really really awesome guy to talk to, knows film really well. we were talking about spike lee as well, and the shots that he did in malcolm x, and inside man, he's just been all over the place.

it's incredible to meet him. fences is in theaters right now, also starring viola davis who also was onstage with denzel when they did the play on broadway. it's a august wilson play, by the way. taraji p. henson is the final interview clip you're going to see here. this movie hidden figures, i'm telling you right now, it's an important film. it's a film that everyone needs to see because it's a story that no-one knows. not even the actors behind the movie knew the story. taraji p. henson, octavia spencer and janelle monãââíe play three african american women who are the main brains behind nasa's first successful space missions including, specifically, john glenn's. so i spoke to taraji p. henson, and the cast about that and did they ever meet or know about these women? watch this. when i saw the film, i got teary-eyed at the end, and just knowing what these women had done, but, i'm just curious, before the movie, i'm sure you've been asked this, did you know anything about them whatsoever? i did not. no. nothing. i thought it was historical fiction. by the time i got the script,

ted had already told me that, you know, this is a true story, and the first thing i wanted to know was is katherine still alive? he was like absolutely! she's very much alive. once the ink dried on my contract, i had to go meet her, i had to go and meet her. i mean you talk about 90 something, it's like i have to meet her now. (laughs) you know, and um, she's just amazing. her humility, she never said i, she never said "we", in fact, she was kind of looking like "what is all the fuss about?" i was just doing my job. alright so that was taraji p. henson, octavia spencer and janelle monãââíe for the movie hidden figures, phenomenal movie, definitely check it out. it's everywhere on january 6th, and it's playing over at regal gallery place right here in washington dc. so those are the interviews. i had so many more this year, you can find them on our youtube channel, youtube.com/fox5dc. coming up next, i give my top five films of 2016. tweet me yours @kevinmccarthytv i'll be right back. (upbeat music)

(upbeat music) besides, nobody's getting hurt. (breaking glass) that guy was up there before we got here. yes, uh that is deadpool right there, one of my favorite films of 2016. in this particular segment you're going to find out where that falls on my top five movies of the year, but we're going to go backwards from five to one for my favorite movies of 2016. i saw well over 100 movies, tweet me yours @kevinmccarthytv. first up is moonlight, this film is number five of the year. barry jenkins, what a film this is. it takes place over three different sections of a young man's life while he's living in miami. i'm telling you right now, this film is so important. it is a beautiful movie but also a very devastating story as well, and i think that it really has the best poster of the year. if you haven't seen the poster, it has all three of the ages of the character we see onscreen.

y poetic film, highly recommend seeing it. it'll really really make you think when you leave the theater. i really hope people see it. it's a very beautiful and important film. alright, next up is sing street at number four. you might be saying "i've never heard of this movie" because it didn't make hardly any money at the box office. this is available now, streaming on netflix by the way, and moonlight is in theaters by the way. and this is about a teenager who starts a band to impress a girl that he likes. very simple story but the music in this movie is what makes it so fantastic. it's wonderful, it's catchy, it's from the director of once. it's an irish film, and it's just a really wonderful film. i'm telling you right now when you hear the songs "riddle of the model", "drive it like you stole it", you might not know those right now but once you watch the movie, you're going to be downloading the soundtrack, i guarantee it. it's available on netflix stream, it'll put a big massive smile on your face. i love this film so much. next up is my number three of the year, i'm going backwards i guess

is is three. la la land, this movie, incredible. ryan gosling and emma stone. this will win best picture at the oscars this year, no question. 31 year old filmmaker damien chazelle who directed whiplash, one of the best movies i've seen in years as well. this is about an aspiring musician played by mr. ryan gosling, who's really playing the piano right there by the way. he learned to play the piano for this role, and they were originally going to hire a hand double, but actually he learned everything. so they have shots in the film where it pulls out of his hands, it's very very cool how they do it. and emma stone plays an aspiring actress, this movie is a five out of five, it's in theaters right now. prepare to see this win best picture at the oscars in 2017 next year. alright, next up, arrival. love this movie, i've seen it twice now. denis, this filmmaker, is unbelievable. prisoners, enemy, sicario, he's doing the next blade runner movie, i have not seen a bad film from this director yet. this is amy adams and jeremy renner.

amy adam's character is hired, she's a linguist, to try and translate what these aliens are saying and why they've come down to earth. the ending is still blowing my mind seven weeks later. i cannot stop thinking about this movie, i've been talking to my friends about it for a long time. it has the best film score of 2016 and i just really feel like it's a movie that just sticks with you, and that's the defining quality of a great film. alright, my number one film of the year, i'm sure you can guess it by now is deadpool. no question, deadpool is, to me, is why movies are so great. this is a movie that was made on a lower budget, considering the superhero genre, and it's, necessity is the mother of invention, so many things in this movie were done because they had a lesser budget. it's a brilliant script, it's funny, it's action packed, it's a passion project from ryan reynolds who plays deadpool in the movie, and it really is just a movie that works. the re-watchability on this movie is amazing. i've seen it eight or nine times, i loved it.

also loved batman vs superman this year, the ultimate edition, doctor strange and civil war. it was a great year for superhero films. so, coming up next, we're going to look ahead to 2017, what are some of the films that i cannot wait to geek out about in 2017? there's one of em right there. you probably guessed which one that is. (upbeat music) ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪

(upbeat music) but whoever you're looking for (apprehensive music) so you're fast. yes, that's justice league, zack snyder, cannot wait for that. i'm kevin mccarthy i'm back with the films

obviously justice league will be on that list, we'll get to that shortly. first up, christopher nolan is back with dunkirk the world war two film. i cannot wait to see this, this is directed by mr. christopher nolan. you know him from some small films he's done like the dark knight, inception, dark knight rises, interstellar. this film looks incredible. i saw a full imax trailer for it before i saw star wars rogue one the other night, and it looks insane. over 100 minutes of the movie are going to be in 70mm film and this movie opens up on july 21st, 2017, and it's going to be awesome. can't wait to see that. next up is justice league, you just saw that in the last clip we bumped in, opens on november 17th, zack snyder. i was a big fan of batman vs superman, i know that it was critically demolished, but i loved the ultimate edition of the movie, it's a fantastic well made superhero film. this looks great, i love the casting here for flash of ezra miller,

n there as well. that opens up in novembethe 17th. next up is a little film called guardians of the galaxy volume 2, opening on may 5th, 2017. chris pratt, zoe saldana, bradley cooper, vin diesel's playing little groot. i'm very excited about this movie. i loved the first one. it looks fantastic. the soundtrack with a leading star on the first movie, so i'm very excited to see what james gunn does there. and finally, as wonder woman opens up on june 2nd, 2017, gal gadot returning for this. the first trailer for this film was epic. patty jenkins is shooting on 35mm film, and chris pines also starring in the movie as well. i gotta mention this, we don't have any footage, or a title yet, but star wars episode eight is coming out in 2017. that's the continuation of, we just saw episode seven last christmas, i can't wait. alright, that's it for me now. i hope you're having a great holiday. it's been fun geeking out with you guys, and i'm looking forward to another great year of interviews and movies. i love all of you, tweet me @kevinmccarthytv.

merry christmas and happy holidays. (upbeat music)

(funky music plays) there's always something going on. as a surgeon, my best days are operative days. we are not going to have the momentum of business before we had the flood for a while. let's keep it nice and tight. (radio chatter) we lead them through their daily tasks, make sure we're accomplishing our mission. we're harvesting corn. the joy of it is just seeing people that enjoy it. thanks for joining us, i'm tony perkins. over the next thirty minutes we are going to be showing you slices of life

from all over this remarkable area. our phenomenal fox 5 photojournalists have done it yet again, crafting some very compelling stories that highlight why this is one of the best places in the world to live. we're going to start with an area that was devastated by fast moving waters several months ago, ellicott city, maryland. we're also going to take you onboard the uss leyte gulf navy ship for a close-up look at life at sea. but we start with ellicott city. (frantic shouting) we need to call... somebody got to that building over here. oh she's stuck. come on!

day kind of day up until about 7 o'clock. i've talked to people that have lost absolutely everything, hundreds of thousands of dollars of merchandise down the river. years and years of business growth down the river, houses they lived at for ten years down the river. clearly it's overwhelming and we had to close down, so it went dark for a while because people didn't know what they could do or not do in ellicott city. and so the rebuilding aspect is a little daunting but it'll come. people will find out that we're open. very few people have ever expressed regret that they're part of ellicott city, expressed that they don't want to come back. maybe it's not feasible for them to come back, but that type of strength and resilience i don't think exists everywhere. ellicott city is a unique place, unique in that it's a community that supports itself.

here and we're going to help you rebuild, and you're going to help us rebuild and we're going to keep on going and supporting. it goes from the bottom of the hill up to the west end. everybody's kind of helping everybody else work and deal with what they possibly can. there aren't very many places like ellicott city. i'm absolutely excited about being a part of something that's going to be bigger and better and stronger. i don't think there's a lot of towns that would wash away and every person wants to come back to it. there's some parallels between ellicott city and new orleans and it's a totally different scope of tragedies, a totally different thing. i think there is a parallel somewhere that, new orleans was too big and too great to be crushed by water. ellicott city is not as big but in the hearts of people that live here it's just as great and it won't be crushed by water. (violin music plays) (piano music plays)

(radio chatter) (people talking) takeoff camel 1311, roger out. this is the uss leyte gulf, a world war 2 battle in the pacific, and this is a guided missile cruiser in the chesapeake bay just off annapolis. i've been in the navy for about five years now. onboard leyte gulf for about one year, and so far it's been a good tour of duty. getting ready to pull into baltimore for fleet week. this is a big ship, and we see maybe a dozen people here.

making this happen. i think people would find that amazing, that if they see it from shore this ship has three hundred people. right, well it is a big ship. the cruiser is one of our biggest surface ships short of the carrier. and it needs three hundred people to run it, and it's a great team of professionals. what does this ship do for the navy? there's some weaponry on this ship. it is, and she is a warhorse of the fleet certainly, but you've got the 5 inch gun right here behind us. you've got vertical launch missile cells. we are standing by every day for the call if it's necessary. my crew of over three hundred people is standing by for that. do you want to bring it back a little bit? let's keep it nice and tight. we fight as one, one ship one fight is the motto. we make sure that we work, we communicate from the top down. that's from the wardroom with the officers

making sure the task is done, and smoothly. (radio chatter) copy all, sir. free to takeoff, camel 1311, roger out. (soothing music plays) when we return, nature's beauty on prominent display. this as beyond the lens, day in the dmv, continues. (jazz flute music plays)

welcome back. a tractor, a ferry, and a kayak. they all offer very different perspectives on life outside the concrete jungle. take a look. (cables whirring) this is one-of-a-kind, for today. (upbeat music) every day is different, it's always a challenge. [man] we don't like to run an empty boat. the boat is named after general jubal a. early and he crossed the river at this point going to washington during the civil war. it will always be here. i mean, we are a historical site. i don't foresee it going anywhere. a lot of your commuters'll say

nutes of quiet time throughout the day. breaks up their commute. (upbeat music) it's nice to see somebody smile when you can tell they've had a bad day and the 3 minute trip across the river makes their day. that, i think, is the highlight of the day. (tugboat motor chugs) (wistful piano music) and i'm paul baker from dickerson maryland. and we're harvesting corn to feed the cattle. i'm 65 years old and i was born into it. it's a quiet kind of a lifestyle.

there is a lot of stress involved with it because of the amount of work that you have to do. labor on the farm is hard to come by. folks don't want to labor on the farm anymore, they figure that that's an ancient type of a job, with a lot of hard labor. [interviewer] how much longer you going to do this? probably until i die. (plaintive piano music) so we're at little falls, on the potomac river, just north of chain bridge. this is the tidal break for the potomac river. (rushing water) so this is where chesapeake bay

y meeting with the potomac river. everything below us is affected by the tide. and i'm surrounded by rushing, white water, and all i can see are rocks and trees and birds, and maybe some snakes. and for me, it's great to have this wild environment right in the middle of the city. this is also the boundary between d.c. and maryland. so, when we put in on the river we're in maryland, and when we take out, we're in d.c. and there's no sign of human civilization. i could be out in west virginia, or in a canyon somewhere, and i can completely forget that i'm 15 minutes away from metro buses and traffic and... politicians, and everything that's going on in the city, and i can just totally escape. the spot that's the most fun on the river, you can see the chain bridge come into view,

and whether it's an early morning, before-work paddle, or an after-work paddle, i do take a little bit of pleasure when i snap back to reality and see that i am in a major metropolitan area, that there are people stuck in traffic, and i'm out here enjoying some amazing white water. in the zone, sort of in this flow where you can't think about anything else. so any other stresses of your daily life are just completely pushed out. the only thing you hear is the rush of the white water, and you just sort of, you're very much in that moment. and you can't think about anything else, other than what you're doing, and it's incredibly relaxing. if i'm really stressed out, kayaking kind of calms me down. if i'm really bummed out, if i'm really not feeling well, and i go kayaking, it kind of lifts me up. so it kind of brings me to this sort of,

very happy middle state. you can't beat the river. like, the river always wins. the river is more powerful than any paddler is every going to be, and you can't overcome that. but what you can do, is you can learn how to work with the river, and use the power and the energy of the river, and utilize the features in it to get where you want to go. and so i think, sort of, that struggle, is applicable in a lot of aspects of life. (peaceful, thoughtful music)

still ahead, a snapshot from the street. city life in d.c., and why we should never take where we live for granted. we'll be right back.

in 1999, the population in dc was about 570,000. in 2015, it was up to 672,000. this is a city of hustle and bustle and it's only getting bigger and i don't need to tell you, it can be pretty tough to get around, but when you do, it's really worth it. here's a reminder. (upbeat music) i am not a morning person.

the coffee in columbia will not make me a morning person. always so tired. i'm usually in my zone. like, i have my headphones in and i'm just like got to get to work, got to get to work. there's always something going on. it's always booming and busting. it's always busy, but it's fun. traffic around here scares me. people in dc now are to the point where red lights are only a suggestion. it's scary out here in the mornings. (guitar strumming) i just stop sometime and just appreciate the beauty, the art, the architecture, everything.

(guitar strumming) i love coming through the mall. i love seeing the monuments. there's an excitement about that. when you stop and think, you get blase, but when you stop and think, i'm in dc, i'm in the capital of the country. i'm in one of the most important cities in the world. look at what's all around me and that will kind of pick me up and get me going. (whistle blowing) i was on a street corner one day and president bush's motorcade went by and he looked over, i was the only one there. he waved and i'm looking around like who's there?

so, yeah, you forget these things. you forget that you're in an important place. when you remember that, it's exciting again. (guitar strumming) i love being in this city. i've been doing this for almost 30 years now, coming to work, and there are times when i forget and you've got to stop and look around and see it again and the excitement comes back. when we return, the sites and sounds of the city. we'll be right back.

("hey ya!" by outkast)

my favorite instrument is the cello. 'cause you know what? you got the curves of a lady, right? the most intimate instrument that's out here. ("bennie and the jets" by elton john) it really resonates within me. it makes me feel like that i'm a part of the instrument. ("bennie and the jets" by elton john) i came out here today, to do a little bit of a music outreach. (upbeat cello music) i play cello around the city at different events, and i also hit up different metro stops. (upbeat cello music) it hits the back of this instrument,

("hey ya!" by outkast) and the wood that they use on the bridge is very rich. so the sound that i'll usually get off of the amplifier, i feel it's like, really good (chuckles). (upbeat cello music) you find a lot of people in support of one another, and that's one of the most, i think, commendable things, that we have about our city. it's the fact that you do have so many people from different walks of life, and that they are able to come together. whether it be centered around music, or someone who's less fortunate. people come together, to make sure, in this city, that things run smoothly, and that, especially out on the street, that things continue to run smoothly. the change that we do get, at the end of the day, will usually be dispersed against other people in the cit, who may need it more than we do. i'm also grateful, because, the city allows me to take this change, and go meet people who may be lesser fortunate than myself, and that allows me to be able to help them out. whether, you know, it's to get food for that evening,

or just make sure that they can go get the toiletries that they need, to be able to keep up with, you know, the things that we keep up with on everyday living. so, that's what i do when i come out here. ("let it be" by the beatles) a lotta people who do walk around in dc may not necessarily have the funds, or the time, to stop, and be able to give back to somebody. so that's where we come into play. we consider ourselves a musician for the people. ("let it be" by the beatles) what i see in dc, whenever i'm out here playing. i see a lotta love. i see a lotta support. i see a lotta people who are able to come together, despite adversities that are going on in the world right now, and we have a great city for that. ("let it be" by the beatles)

as you can see, our fox 5 photojournalists really know how to capture a shot. they are the best in the business, and if you need more proof, take a look at this moving montage. i'll see you next time. ("living for the city" by stevie wonder) living just enough, for the city living for the city living just enough, for the city ain't nothin' but living just enough, for the city living for the city living just enough, for the city

t the city living just enough, for the city living just enough, for the city living just enough, for the city living just enough, for the city ain't nothing but the city living just enough, for the city living just enough, for the city living just enough, for the city living just enough, for the city living just enough, for the city

living just enough, for the city living for the city
