Harriet (2019)
Loved this movie!!
Excellent, IMO! Loved it! Don't know if old age is causing me to be so sentimental, but it's been ages since I left a movie with puffy teary eyes. Most likely because I knew it's an (untold) true storyline. It's very educational, as well. I feel everyone should watch it. That movie was very educational (for me). Now I understand/learned why (1) Black Americans are so religious and God-fearing, (2) why and how such a large Black (American) population ended up in Canada, and (3) why Harriet was so brave, and possessed such an unique prophet/alien-like ability/gift.
Gifted (2017)
Loved This Movie and Did Not Want It To End
This movie is super fantastic! I totally loved it and did not want it to end. All the actors are amazingly convincing and talented. Both little Mckenna Grace (who plays Mary) and Chris Evans (who plays Frank) are absolutely perfect for their roles. Mckenna Grace is extremely talented for someone her age. I LOVE their natural chemistry in this movie. This movie held my attention and warmed my heart! This is not a shoot-em-up, action-packed movie, there's no nudity. It is a wonderfully warm and fuzzy family movie. Excellent acting and editing. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)
Best Movie I've Seen This Year!!!
This is the Best Movie I've Seen This Year!!! I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely loved this movie!! So much so, I did not want it to end, I wanted to see more of each of their powers in play. I wanted it to go on and on for at least another half hour. I did not get bored none at all watching this movie. I hope there will be a sequel, and a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th movie. This movie was so well directed and edited. The special effects are awesomely amazing and so breath-taking and beautiful. The acting of these unknown actors is absolutely flawless. I was awe struck that the young children were so professional, intelligent and convincing. I repeat, this is the Best Movie I've Seen this Year!!! I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love this movie!!

Not Made For Me
I hated this movie and was so disappointed with it! This is nothing more than a light porn movie. It is for men and/or women who love porn movies.

Parkland (2013)
Historically Accurate
I loved this movie. It seems to be very historically accurate. This movie had lots more facts that I did not know about, things that were never in any history books or documented facts that I had ever ran across. I greatly appreciate the manner in which the costume designer was spot-on with the clothes of that era. The characters was right on target resembling the actual people (look-alikes). I could not get used to the way, when and where everyone smoked cigarettes back then. I was expecting to see doctors and nurses smoking while performing surgery in the OR! While watching the movie with me, my friend pointed out that if the Oswalds had been Black, the police/authorities would have beaten the brother Robert to an inch of his life. I reminded him that there were no Black hospital employees nor Black hospital patients because Dallas was a segregated city during that time of the century. I wish the movie had shown more of the lives of Jack Ruby and Oswald's mother and brother.
Raising Izzie (2012)
Synopsis by GMC
Gertie and Izzie are two young girls on their own. Abandoned by their father and orphaned by their mother, they are doing the best they can to stay in school, stay undetected and stay together. With assistance from their mother before her passing, the girls are financially prepared to sustain themselves for some time. Gertie, 14, takes seriously her charge to raise her younger sister Izzie, 10, alone. Greg and Tonya are a couple whose love for one another radiates and for some time now they have attempted to build a family and have failed. Tonya longs to share the love and nurturing she has been channeling through her job as a teacher into children of her own. Is it God's will that they do not have children? From GMC
The Help (2011)
In-depth Extension of the movie, The Long Walk Home
To me, The Help is an in-depth extension of the older movie, The Long Walk Home, with Whoopi Goldberg and Sissy Spacek. I think that's why Sissy was included in the cast of The Help. I loved both movies, however, the reason I gave The Help only 9 stars instead of 10 is because I did not find the little white 2-year old baby (the last one that Abilene raised) logical and believable. In other words she was too young to be saying and understanding words like, "You're my real mama, Abby." "Please don't go. Are you going to go take care of another little white girl?" Those lines are meant for a child at least 5 years old. That is the only character in the movie where I feel the writer screwed up.
