Conversations with Friends (2022)

S L O W

[1/10 · 27 August 2022]

What a huge dissapointment after Normal People. I made it through seven episodes only by being able to use the fast forward button. Frances is brooding, dour, uninteresting. Rick is lifeless. How do these two have any connection whatsoever? Absolutely zero chemistry. Interactions between Frances, Bobbi and their group of friends might have saved this if that had been allowed to be more the center of the story instead of the affair. The dual poetry performances at the beginning by Frances and Bobbi were clever and enjoyable. The good news is, the next Sally Rooney book made into a limited series, can only go up from here, be better than this debacle.

Moneyball (2011)

Great Movie

[10/10 · 11 July 2022]

How is this movie not ranked higher, here on IMDB? Great storyline, acting, characters. One of Brad Pitt's best performances. A terrific movie, highly entertaining and enjoyable to watch, again and again.

Jay Sebring.... Cutting to the Truth (2020)

Unexpectedly Exceptional

[10/10 · 1 August 2021]

Really informative; many details revealed that were not previously known. Numerous great remembrances and historical facts conveyed to the audience about a well-known victim, that most of us knew nothing about the actual person he was. A true treasure of a film celebrating Jay Sebring, a man whose life, sadly ended too soon.
