The Glorias

Reviewed on Mar 09 2021

Julianne Moore and Bette Midler played, as usual, excellent parts in the movie The Glorias. Julianne plays Gloria Steinem, who is a known figure in the Women’s Movement in the 1960s and 1970s, and beyond. Many important women’s oppression issues were pointed out in this movie and movement, a predecessor to the Me Too Movement today. This movie should be nominated for Best Picture of the Year in 2021. Alicia Vikander.

The Last Waltz

Reviewed on Jun 22 2020

A documentary by Martin Scorsese about the last concert of The Band, with Robbie Robertson (of The Band), who wrote "Take A Load Off Annie" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and many others. He is a great lead guitar player. All of The Band are accomplished. They were on the road for 16 years, and for 8 of those years they worked in dives and bars and sometimes ate from dumpsters, which they reveal in this documentary. So success, even for great musicians, doesn't happen quick, and ...

Just Mercy

Reviewed on Jun 17 2020

Michael B. Jordan, co-produced and acted as an attorney, Bryan Stevenson, to fight against injustice of black people in Alabama in a true-story trial for murder, in which Walter McMillian (played by Jamie Foxx) was being tried for. The attorney had to fight against a corrupt, racial, bigoted system that included judges and people in important positions in government. This well-done movie shows the racism at various levels in our state government as well as the lower consciousness of people ...

Parasite

Reviewed on Mar 19 2020

Well I believe in diplomacy with our allied countries, and in the case of South Korea, they are already a suburb of the United States, so I don’t know why we have to show them we love them anymore, because Parasite does not deserve the 2020 Academy Awards it got, particularly the Best Picture Award. When you put that picture in company with Richard Jewell, Joker, Judy, Ford v Ferrari, The Irishman, Jojo Rabbit, 1917, Little Women, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and ...

Richard Jewell

Reviewed on Mar 19 2020

Richard Jewell, a film produced and directed by Clint Eastwood, was one of Clint Eastwood’s best. Paul Walter Hauser did a marvelous job of playing a real human being with a good heart, so good that people thought that he was a little crazed or dumb. But he was neither. He was just a nice guy. I had a cousin like him. He was also heavy, like this guy Richard. It’s a true-life film, based upon the bombing that took place in Atlanta in the Centennial arena, where Richard ...

The Irishman

Reviewed on Dec 18 2019

I think the movie would have been much better if they would have shown more of the family scenes, like Mario Puzo did in The Godfather. This film showed the Irishman meeting a waitress, but you never see them together in the movie again. You don’t see anything of Jimmy Hoffa’s family or much of Joe Pesci’s family, except for Kathrine Narducci, who was great, playing Joe Pesci’s wife, who wanted to smoke cigarettes in the car. She reminded me of my sister’s ...
