We saw American Fiction last wee. Must say I was a bit disappointed. Seems it was having a hard time figuring out how serious or comedic it was going to be. The overall theme was great but probably could have better executed. Jeffery Wright was excellent.
Last evening we were having a difficult time finding anything to watch and came across “Staged” with David Tennant and Michael Sheen. The premise is that during Covid two actors whose West End play is halted are convinced by the director to carry on rehearsing online using. It takes about an...
Saw it last week and it was not great but much better than most of the reviews I had read. It needed to be either edited shorter or released in an extended version that filled in many gaps.
Finally had the opportunity to go see it yesterday. This is the type of movie that the critics love and the average movie goer thinks its ho-hum. I enjoyed it but did not love it. It could have been edited down somewhat but can't say in which scenes. DeNiro played the role to a T. I have...
I am sure there are many individuals that will never consider watching Deadwood due to the language, the violence, and the nudity. I would never suggest they should give it another try.
Last week my wife and I decided to rewatch all of Deadwood in its entirety after so many years. We are down to the last 6 episodes and I don’t want it to end. One more 12 episode season would have been so much better than the deadwood movie.
Little doubt that for the most part it is as foul...
We enjoyed Lioness. It did have some shortcomings and I found it a bit humorous how the Zoe Saldana/Dave Annable relationship is a mirror image of the John Krasinski/Abbie Cornish relationship in Jack Ryan. One's CIA married to a Doctor.
I thought Lioness brought up some interesting points in...
Saw Golda this afternoon. It was ok but far from great. They could have cut 30 minutes of Helen Miren lighting cigarette after cigarette out of the film and replaced it with either background of Golda or gone a bit deeper into the war.
Just returned from seeing Oppenheimer. Very well done. As Steve noted you need to pay attention to pick up on all the dialogue, but it is well worth it if you do.
There are so many fine performances even within some of the smaller roles. Robert Downy Jr. probably will get a supporting actor...
Steve. We also have tickets for Oppenheimer this weekend.
We haven’t Sound of Freedom yet. My brother saw it a couple of eeeks ago and did say it was difficult to watch.. May Have to go see it late next week.
Saw it this afternoon. It was okay for the genre. I’m sorry but I can only enjoy so much nonstop action in a film. The screenwriters had it pretty easy here as most of the dialogue was explaining why the various parties were chasing after the key. i must say there were a few humorous scenes and...
We saw it last Weekend and both of us were pretty bored. It was basically non-stop weird chases. I really enjoyed the original but each sequel a bit less.
it Was funny I was picking up some snacks and the cashier asked if we were going to see the Indiana Jones movie. I laughed and asked if it...
For fans of Fauda you will probably enjoy the 4 episode series Ghosts of Beirut I have watched the first three and look forward to the conclusion next Sunday. the series focuses on the 20 year hunt for the one man who was behind the US Embassy and Marine barracks bombings in Beruit among...
I’m going to miss the series. As Steve noted this last season wasn’t as funny as the first two, but I still enjoyed how they handled all of the open issues. They were able fill in a lot of the back story for many of the characters and we were able to see how both Midge and Susie got their big...
If those two series interested you then if you haven't had the opportunity to watch "Bodyguard" with Richard Madden and Keely Hawes give it a try. The first fifteen minutes hooked me and it was good all the way through. Just the right amount of twists and turns.
Also, this has nothing to do...
We really enjoyed The Diplomat. There were a few scenes that were unbelievable or a bit over the top. In general the dialogue was sharp as you expect from someone who worked on both The West Wing and Homeland. I definitely hope for at least one more season.
We just finished watching both 10 episode seasons of Single Drunk Female on Hulu. My wife and I are very glad we hung on past the first couple of episodes where watching a 28 year old girl deal with alcoholism pains deeply. Plenty of bad choices are made, some predictable scenes, appropriate...
