Being the Ricardos (2021)
Disappointing
I kept waiting to see the real Lucy. Not funny,in the least. It does show the human side of the couple. Television and Hollywood are tough industries
Nicole Kidman shouldn't do comedy. Fred's casting was
brilliant.
Downton Abbey (2019)
The movie did not disappoint
A fabulous movie with something in it for everyone.Wonderful to see the cast,costumes and sets again.
The Mule (2018)
Clint's character seems naive,out of touch with the times

Operation Avalanche (2016)
Just as I thought
This film is exactly what I thought of the moon landing when I saw it on TV while at camp on the dining room TV.I thought it was a hoax and still do for there were no surprises.I was also once in a very primitive television studio at university.I was amazed how reality can be changed with unsophisticated equipment.
Swiss Army Man (2016)
What a strange movie
What a weird movie!?!Must admit I didn't get most of it.I admire that Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe would take such a risk in such a strange movie.It did play on some Interesting cliché.Would love to know what the premise of the movie was.What was the point of making this movie. Interesting definition of friendship. Strange flick It wouldn't win any awards that's for sure. Paul Damon was great as Brian Wilson. Why would he agree to this role? Strang.Strange!Strange!Not even close to the Harry Potter movies For Daniel Ratcliffe.A complete mystery what the movie was about. It amazes me that it actually got backers to be produced. I only kept watching as I had paid for it and was hoping it might eventually make sense. It didn't
Casualties of War (1989)
Excellent Vietnam movie
What a movie!!!Not for the faint- hearted.It depicts the ultimate inhumanity of war.Michael J Fox is superb of the supreme cast.I believe such incidents unfortunately occurred.After watching the film,I was revolted by the way the Vietnamese young woman was treated by the American soldiers.May there never be another war.It was a relief to see the soldiers involved received the punishment they so rightly deserved.One realizes the complications of being in the armed forces.It is no wonder that so many returning soldiers suffer from Post Traumatic Depression.It makes the issue of being drafted deplorable.Soldiers should only be involved in a war by volunteering,not being drafted.
Grandfathered (2015)
Stamos Rocks as a Grandfather
John Stamos excels in "Grandfsthered".Superb character development throughout.I much prefer Stamos as a Grandfater over being Uncle Jesse.Loved seeing Bob Staget cameo.The portrayed situations are very believable.This show is definitely a highlight of the new season.I shall be tuning in every week.The baby is adorable.Stamos plays his role in a charming believable manner.The support characters are well cast,particularly the son.I look forward to watching the progress of Stamos establishing relationships with his Sonn,Granddaughter,Grandmother and his restaurant staff as they adjust to his new persona.It is interesting to witness the background of the restaurant business.
Return to Sender (2015)
Spellbounding with Pike outstanding
I have found Rosmund Pike an outstanding actress since she impressed me in "Gone Girl".The plot was predictable,being revenge.Pike's stares intensities the plot and character development.I predict she will be one of the greatest actresses of our time.Nolte is well cast as a caring Father.You root for Miranda and question the meanings of forgiveness and revenge.Strong character development throughout.Suspense builds throughout the movie successfully.The concept of fixing things and people is well developed as the rapist and the victim renovate the house where the rape took place.The minor characters of Miranda's fellow nurses are convincing.I would recommend this movie to anyone as it is thought provoking
Midnight in Paris (2011)
One of my favorite films of all time
I didn't know what to expect from Midnight in Paris.I like only a few of Woody Allan's movies and even less of Owen Wilson's.I was pleasantly surprised to find it perfect for a visual art graduate like myself.Perfect casting for the 1920 characters of Gertrude Stein,Picasso,Toulouse Lautrec and the Fitzgeralds.Owen Wilson was so believable.Wonderful shots of Versailles and Giverny.I didn't want it to end.I shall see it again and buy it when it comes out on DVD.It was a wonderful escape on a Sunday afternoon.The three of us thoroughly enjoyed it.I thought it was cleverly written with believable dialogue.It is a must for those interested in the arts scene in Paris in 1920.Superb music score as well.Thank you,Woody for providing the magic
Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)
An absolutely delightful movie for everyone
An ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL MOVIE!!!Great family fun...one of his best.I look forward to Jim on SNL later tonight.I really enjoyed the interaction between Carrey and the penguins.Very believable.Superb ending!!!I really enjoyed listening to the laugher of children in the audience.A hit i highly recommend anyone to see.Angela Lonsbury is fantastic as are the 2 children.Good use of Tavern By the Green and the Guggeniem Museum.Strong message workaholic fathers should listen to.Its good to see Carey back in a true comic role instead of one totally unrealistic.I hope there is a sequel soon.Congratulations to cast and crew.It makes me want to see penguins at the Toronto Zoo special exhibit.
