I had read so much comparing Green Book to Driving Miss Daisy….well most of the action does take place in a car – I just do not really see the comparison. The Green Book really pushes the envelope when it comes to showing racism at its worst: Not being able to eat at the hotel […]

We saw The Favourite last night and was completely surprised and enjoyed it immensely. What a tale of wickedness, game playing, one upmanship and just plain laughter. This is what I found surprising – is how much humor was in the script and how well the actors delivered this much needed comic relief. I am […]

I think the poster above sums up my feeling after seeing this film, I needed to be held. I was rather excited to see Roma based on the reviews I had read – all praise worthy. Let’s get to what I really liked – the cinematography was stunningly beautiful, along with the music and the […]

I know I am absolutely in the minority here, but please bear with me. I am a fan of this genre and have seen the 4 previous versions (I include What Price Hollywood? from 1932), but I just wish Bradley Cooper had pulled himself back just a bit. Every shot he is in, his head […]

Just a nice little movie, which I enjoyed. It was a good escape and I mainly saw it to see Patricia Clarkson. I really enjoy watching her work, so subtle and intense – she did not disappoint even though I wanted to kill this character, but someone else made sure she got her back for […]

This film blew me away. It made me laugh and cry – devastating. I wish I had seen it on the big screen, it was beautiful to look at. The relationship between father and daughter, while supportive, is also cracking at the seems as the two move further and further apart. These two actors are […]

I have used the above image, because I do think each of them played such fantastic roles, and each brought something unique and fun to the roles. They all deserve credit for making this move enjoyable. I have to say first and formost – this is NOT my type of movie in general, but I […]

Boy, I really think Melissa McCarthy needs to rethink her roles and come up with something new and refreshing. What has happened to the dynamic funny woman who stole the movies and was remembered as the best thing in them. She has, unfortunately, become a pigeon-holed comedian stuck in movies not worth her talent. I […]

I was glad I saw this on the plane – bigger than normal screen, but had I paid for this movie – I would not have been happy. It really is a shame as the talent behind and in front of the camera could have really made something from this movie. My biggest gripe is […]

I saw the documentary, Won’t You Be My Neighbor, and I must say it was a wonderful experience, just like my memories of his show growing up. I even watched it into my teen years, there was something so simple and kind about everything that was done on the show. I was surprised to see […]
