The Offer (2022)
Love it!!
Any fan of The Godfather should enjoy this show! It is so interesting, as they show what it takes to make a movie.
Although I'm only on Episode 6, but, I love it! The acting is outstanding! I love the, almost, comical relationships between Al Ruddy (Miles Teller) and Joe Columbo (Giovanni Ribisi ) and the actors who play Mario Puzo & Francis Ford Coppola! I also love the character, Bettye!
As I watch it, I see that Al Ruddy is similar to a ring master at a Circus!!
If you choose to watch this, you won't regret it!
West Side Story (2021)
First time viewer of West Side Story
Although I'm in my 60s, I have never seen the original West Side Story movie or the TV production, so I had nothing to compare it too. I also never knew the full story. For me, a musical about rival, violent gangs in NYC, in the 50s or early 60s, bursting into singing and dancing, while fighting, seemed ridiculous.
It was better than I expected, but, I agree with another reviewer, that the singing and dancing, at times, negatively impacted the story. Another thing I found annoyng, was how much the characters spoke Spanish. We had closed-captioning on our TV while watching, but it wasn't translated.
I also agree with other Reviewers, that Rita Moreno was wonderful! I also thought the main characters were well casted, especally the actors who played Maria, Anita, Bernardo & Tony.
Again, I didn't know anything about the story, so I was surprised by the ending. I don't know if that ending was the same as the original movie, but it was sad.
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Too dreary
The acting (especially Benedict Cumberbatch) very good, but the characters were under-developed. Had there been more of a backstory, especially of the 2 brothers, and their parents, it would have been much better. To me, it seemed pretty dreary. I guess portraying what life was really like for ranchers back in 1925 was credible, but well developed characters would have engaged me more.
Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962)
My Favorite version of A Christmas Carol!
My siblings and I watched this when we were growing up, and it remains my favorite version of "A Christmas Carol". It's short and to the point, without the darkness of other versions. I think it's great for kids, to learn kindness. Another great feature.... we LOVE the Music! I recommend it for families!
The Keepers (2017)
Very well done, engrossing, tragic.
The way this story evolved from the murder of a nun in the 1960s, to prolonged, widespread abuse by a priest, was very well done. The 2 women investigating this story were amazing! As I watched it, it broke my heart, especially when i realized I knew one of the people responsible for the cover-up. How could they let this happen?? I am devastated, and pray for all of those involved. God Bless them.
Abducted in Plain Sight (2017)
Sad, Shocking & Disturbing
As we watched this show, we went online to verify that it was really true. The incredible bad judgement of most of the principals in this film is so very, very disturbing.
Roma (2018)
Limited Story line.,,, Disappointed
Looking on IMDB, "ROMA" seemed to be the highest rated of the Oscar nominated movies. I've only seen "A Star is Born" and "Bohemian Rhapsody".. plus I TRIED to watch "Black Panther" (action movies not my genre), but I think "ROMA" comes in 3rd place of the 3 I saw. I totally enjoyed A Star Is Born, but Bohemian Rhapsody was awesome!!! ROMA is just a simple story, that is in Spanish, with subtitles. Sometimes I didn't know who was speaking. Sorry Netflix... i was about 85% bored.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
Great movie!
I loved Queen, so I expected to enjoy the movie; however, It highly exceeded my expectations! I enjoyed every minute of it, especially the music! I think Remi Malek did an outstanding job of recreating a very unusual character. I highly recommend the movie... and I can't wait to see it again. Also, contrary to complaints that started before the movie was out, it was made very clear that Freddie Mercury was gay or bi-sexual.
