Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Just the distraction I needed during a pandemic
I had my doubts about this movie, but decided to watch it based on the cast. So glad I did. It made me smile, tap my foot and just escape a little to a happy place during a terrible time in the world.
Is it the most deftly acted, written and produced movie...no, no Oscar nominations, I'm pretty sure. But that's not the point.
What it does offer to the audience is a bit of fun and escapism, and a bunch of good laughs and cringe-worthy moments. It also left me a little lighter in spirit, and It reminded me to take the world less seriously. This was just what I needed during a pandemic, rampant racism, a horrible government and climate change out of control. There's so much that is wrong, that a little right is helpful. While I can't control the crazy world, I can control what I watch and how it impacts me. I choose to enjoy it for what it is and smile.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)
Zac Efron Ted Bundy...brilliant!
Exceptional. Zac Efron did a phenomenal job channeling a psychopath. He showed his acting chops for sure looking forward to more Zac in serious roles
Dumplin' (2018)
Predictable and cardboard acting
I had high hopes that this movie would offer something different but it was formulaic and predictable. I lost interest halfway through and started playing games on my iPad. Yawn.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Great storytelling and connections to the franchise
I grew up watching Star Wars movies and have always enjoyed the bleed over between movies. Solo was one of the beat recent Star Wars movies I've seen. Hope it becomes its own series.
Love the origin story of Chewbacca and Hans Solo. Lots of references to previous Star Wars movies. Ron Howard is a fantastic storyteller and definitely showed his ability and craft with this movie. Donald Glover represented...Billy D Williams would be proud.
Keep the Solo series going and give me a reason to go to the movies.
