Mudbound (2017)
Mudbound...quite a enjoyable movie with a solid script.
Mudbound is mezmerizing. I am fascinated by not only the characters and how the story moved along, but also by the quality of acting. This movie is a solid must see.
The Tender Bar (2021)
A beautiful movie.
Finally a great movie. Fine cast. A movie with heart. It doesn't get better than this. It's hard not to get involved in the plot, it is begging for attention and this movie has it all. I loved the entire cast, everyone was on their game. Bravo.
Only Murders in the Building (2021)
Only Murders in the Building - Great Cast
I really have enjoyed this series. The acting is perfect and the comraderie amongst the characters fun. I am so glad it is renewed for another season!
No Small Parts: #208 - John Malkovich (2020)
John Malkovich....A warm look at an incredible actor.
I started watching "no small parts" with your subject John Malkovich. What a delightful romp it is. He is mystifying in every role he plays. I know if John is in any movie it is a must see for me. The first time I saw him was in "Making Mr. Right". I was immediately hooked. It is such a treat each time he is in a movie. He makes any movie he is in not just better, but awesome.
War Machine (2017)
Very interesting
I enjoyed this movie. I really liked all of the characters and liked the tone of the movie. It's pretty much a take on just how our military has not only it's hands tied and how the "old guard" is treated. As I see it we have a "mother may I" government that only supports those that play by the rules. Oh yeah, the rules are never explained, but watch out if you use anything you were trained to do as it may just bite you and your military career. Great ensemble cast and nice to see familiar actors.
Boyhood (2014)
Real LIfe
This movie gave a remarkable look at how a family is not only believable but can be relative to a period in time. All families are different and the ebbs and flows in life can walk a fine line but each family has it's own unique reality and all in all, characters are usually true to themselves. I like how the parents interacted and dealt with time's marching on and how they would adapt to aging and their roles in their children's lives. Their children evolved in a character in solid way and it is appealing how they interacted with their peers and friends and family. Real people are what they are warts and all. The story is unique and the director effectively showed his vision. How could this not be enjoyed because it is the writer's point of view and the actors portrayed it as they believed the characters must have felt. It is somewhat like the documentary of the Loud family, but a movie version. I enjoyed it and found that the director did a fine job as well as the actors.
