Poor Things
Weird. Bizarre. Depraved. Perverse. Hilarious. Only a few of the many adjectives needed to describe this movie. You need a strong constitution to watch it. There are disgusting looking half and half animals. William Dafoe is the “mad” scientist with a patchwork face named Godwin Baxter and called “God” by his creation. Ramy Youssef (Max […]
The Favourite
December 14, 2018
The Favourite – Based on the actual 1700s Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) who was more than a bit off kilter. She may have had reason to be as she suffered 17 or so miscarriages. Her friend Lady Sarah Marlborough (Rachel Weisz) pretty much took over the management of her royal duties while Anne whined or […]
La La Land
December 26, 2016
LaLa Land – It starts out all sunshine and lollipops in Southern California. The first couple of times aspiring actress Mia (Emma Stone) and jazz musician Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) meet aren’t exactly ideal. In no time at all, though, they’re floating on air and dancing among the stars. She wants to write and act, he […]
Aloha
May 30, 2015
Aloha- Brian Gilchrist (Bradley Cooper) is back in Hawaii to help billionaire developer Carson Welch launch a satellite and privatize the air space. Former love (Rachel McAdams) is now married to Woody (John Krasinski). She and Brian broke up 13 years ago. She now has a 12 year-old daughter…figure it out…and a 10 year -old […]
Birdman
February 23, 2015
Birdman – This movie is funny. Not like a comedy funny, but lots of somewhat twisted humor. Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) is an egotistical former super hero movie star. Now trying to regain some of his old glory, he’s writing/directing/starring in a Broadway play exploring love. His producer is Jake (Zach Galifianakis). Daughter “Sam” (Emma […]
Magic In The Moonlight
August 24, 2014
Magic In The Moonlight – Colin Firth (Stanley) is a renowned magician and debunker of charlatans when his cousin Howard (Simon McBurney) calls him in to check out Sophie Baker (Emma Stone) who can communicate with spirits on the other side. Believing in facts, not any kind of higher being or the afterlife, he is […]
The Amazing Spiderman 2

The Amazing Spiderman 2 – It begins with a little more about what happened to Peter Parker’s (Andrew Garfield) parents although Peter still doesn’t know. Gwen (Emma Stone) graduates – from high school. Spiderman befriends Max Dillon (Jamie Foxx), an engineer at Oscorp. Max has not a whit of self confidence until he’s fried to […]
The Amazing Spiderman
July 4, 2012
The Amazing Spiderman – And it is kind of amazing. Little Spidey aka young Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is left with Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field) when his parents covertly take off with no explanation. Now a teenager he finds his father’s briefcase containing a formula on cross species genetics and […]
The Help
August 10, 2011
The Help – If you read the book, you’re going to like this movie. Even if you didn’t, I think you’re going to like it. Many of us remember the Sixties as the “make love, not war” decade, but there was this other side where black people were still thought of as lesser human beings. […]
Crazy, Stupid Love
July 30, 2011
Crazy, Stupid Love – Not a fan of Steve Carell (Cal) but he looks like he’d be a good dad and this movie works with that. His wife (Julianne Moore) cheats on him with Kevin Bacon, and who given the chance wouldn’t. He meets Jacob (Ryan Gosling) who takes Cal under his wing and teaches […]
