I watched The Matrix a few days ago. Lots of messages in that movie...

I have yet to watch The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. I may watch the next one tonight...

Considering that the Academy Awards are coming up, I am checking out the favs:

So, Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)... interesting film, worth watching - up for 5 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture - and Best Actor for Rami Malek. Being a sci-fi fan, I know Malek from I, Robot

I am not a rocker at all, but it was a fairly good film. Of course, there were all the songs that I've already heard and I'm sure many here know, and it was quite entertaining. I do not think it will win as Best Picture, but Malek was pretty good. Am not sure I would watch it again. I have to agree with one comment by one of the actors in the film, that he wouldn't really have much to do with Freddie Mercury until Mercury "liked himself", and I think that was something I picked up on early in the film... shame that he had to get sick just to wake up.

Now, also saw A Star is Born (2018), which I enjoyed more than Bohemian Rhapsody - on the whole. Lady Gaga was really good - boy can she sing - and act! The fact that there was "love" involved engaged me more than the Rhapsody. Up for many awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. Worth watching, I may see it a second time.

Mademoiselle de Joncquières....English nobility can be mean ( The Favourite );French nobility is just plain viscious.

Mara a horror movie on Netflix.

Last week was East of Eden with my main man James Dean.

Well, I saw Black Panther (2018), and really liked it overall. Much fun, action, drama, fantasy... (wishful thinking - lol/the American Dream for m/woc). So, I suspended my belief system so to speak (btw, I don't any beliefs), and just enjoyed the film for what it is, and it was really quite well done. It's nominated for 7 Academy Awards and I thought it was well worth watching. As an aside - Hey, this evil guy, Klaue - I thought he reminded me of some actor I had seen before, and in the 2nd scene he appeared in, it dawned on me, it was Gollum (!!! *g) from Lord of the Rings, the inimitable Andy Serkis.

Well, the SAG awards were announced, and this film beat out all the others for best picture (i.e. it won out over A Star is Born, Bohemian Rhapsody, BlacKkKlansman, and Crazy Rich Asians). Apparently, the Screen Actors Guild are said to be a good indicator of who might win at the Academy Awards; we'll see, right?

Anyhooo, as Nina Simone, once sang - but not in this film (btw, I once saw her live...

):

"To be young, gifted and black,
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black,
Open your heart to what I mean..."

(2018) Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater

I had been wanting to see this ever since I read the book by Meg Wolitzer. In the book it's not as clearly spelled out that she wrote all the books not him! I remember after reading the book shaking my head and thinking why, after all he put her thru, would she still want to preserve his reputation. I guess I'm still wondering the same thing after seeing the movie!

The cast and acting is great and I really enjoyed the movie! I can see why Glen Close is up for so many awards this season!
