Cloud Atlas (2012)
A definite must watch
This is a very good movie but it's not going to appeal to mass audiences and that's why it didn't do as well in the box office as it deserved. The acting was top notch and a great job was done adapting the book to a screenplay, I actually prefer the changes made in the movie from the book and I'm someone who usually can't stand when movies stray from the source material. Cloud Atlas requires you to pay attention for the full 3 hours to follow the connecting stories and characters as well as remember details for later on, like I said it's not your average casual Saturday night action/adventure movie to watch on and off while snacking on popcorn which is partly why it sadly didn't get the attention it deserved.
Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields (2023)
Good documentary with some flaws
Very insightful although parts were hard to watch. I am writing this review only to speak of the documentaries glaring problem. Some of the people speaking for Brooke were very adamant to soley blame men for her sexual exploitation and yes men should not be casting children in such provocative roles *but* the root of Brookes exploitation was primarily caused by her mother. Jobs aren't forced and the mother accepted these inappropriate jobs for her daughter. This is mostly glossed over and instead her actions are excused by harping on the fact that her mother was the "victim of a hard life", I would have liked the documentary much more if these speakers were not in it as their opinions are irresponsible and hurt feminism.
