Don't Look Up (2021)
Best movie I've seen in years!
Pure satire! If you can't see yourself or your friends opinions in this movie you are out of touch with reality. Sure it's funny but tragically it's NOT amusing where we are headed. Look in the mirror? In the end it is sobering, even redeeming. A must see movie!
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005)
Through the eyes of a child
Sugar coated? Maybe but everything is there to redeem our belief in rising above circumstance. Broken people,, abandoned, blind, alone they bind together in their singleness. We can't hide our mistakes inside a bottle tree or restore ours losses but there is strength in people - community. It's a feel good movie with an extra serving of hope.
A little child leads them.
Hit! (1973)
Very well done!
First viewing of this 70s movie: I was impressed with the depth of the characterizations. One feels in tune with each of the group's well defined personalities, in examining their weaknesses, strengths and limitations. It was if you knew the individual personally, what made them tick. As you grow with them, you believe as do they, that ordinary people can accomplish what they purpose. This diverse group of people brought shading and depth to the plot, drawing you into the events as they played out in an international setting. Tension and suspense is palpable with every individual character's actions. You feel the adrenaline and excitement as the plot builds to multiple crescendoes. Yes, plural! Timing becomes critical. A touch black hero-ish, a bit dated (hence a 9 rather than a 10)but so very well acted and clever that it holds one's attention throughout. Yes, it would benefit from a better format.
