NOSFERATU – Bleak, dismal, weird, graphic, dull, long variation of the original vampire story. John hated it and left in the middle for a smoke. Sage said it was strange and she couldn’t understand it. Mike was more forgiving because he likes the director, but still not a fan. I hated it. Watch any otherContinue reading

THE LOST CITY – Fun, romantic adventure knock-off of “Romancing the Stone.” Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum are adorable as romantic leads. Daniel Radcliffe is an excellent villain. And Brad Pitt, my boyfriend, turns in another charming, witty performance as the guru. My only complaint is his screen time is too short because he kindaContinue reading
A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT – Thirty-two years after it’s release, the peeps and I have finally gathered to watch this film which has been on our list for years. Produced and directed by Robert Redford, and starring a very young, very gorgeous Brad Pitt, we all enjoyed it. Kelly thought it was heartwarming andContinue reading
80 FOR BRADY – A handful of laughs and four great older leading ladies couldn’t save this picture. Even Brady couldn’t save this picture. In fact, he was the major sap in this super sappy story. Skip it. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES – Kelly calls it snoresville. She’s not wrong. It’s not as interesting as the books and a few of the actors, including the lead, Teresa Palmer, are flat in their delivery. Most of the cast is quite good however. I like it, but I don’t know I’d be able to followContinue reading
LOVE ACTUALLY – is marvelous “actually.” Released in 2003, this Christmas picture is chock full of British heavy-weights at the top of their game. I discovered it for the first time last year. Since then I’ve learned it’s a cult classic. I understand why. This is not the typical smaltzy holiday film. This movie celebratesContinue reading
ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN – I’ve always wanted to watch this film, but somehow never got around to it. Now I have. I was particularly interested in viewing it at this point in time as many comparisons have been made over the last several years between the political corruption in the 70s and the politicalContinue reading
NO TIME TO DIE – Back in the day, I was a fan of James Bond books and films. Nowadays, not so much, especially the films. The non-stop action and gun violence gives me anxiety and a headache. However, I was recently on a flight where viewing options were limited and this film stood outContinue reading
THE MUSTANG – Robert Redford produced this film which screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Starring one of my favorites, Matthias Schoenaerts, and featuring Bruce Dern, the film is a fictional story based on a real inmate rehabilitation program available at certain prisons in the west. Wild mustangs are captured, tamed by prisoners and soldContinue reading
AMERICAN NIGHT – Violent film (think Quentin Tarantino) starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Emile Hirsch and Paz Vega. It’s not my kind of film, but I am a Jonathan fan, so when the screener arrived, I watched it. Jonathan delivers his usual intense, stellar performance. The rest of the cast is also quite good. But, alas, notContinue reading
