"The Favourite"...loved it.
Engages the eyes, ears, brain. You'll laugh; you'll cry; you'll go Google who these people really were. What more could you ask from a film? Check it out.

We seem to have a very good knack at producing good period drama's with dark humour injected. Great acting by all, and yes it makes you want to find out more about these women and their history. |

"Musicals" - A Star is Born & Bohemian Rhapsody
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. |

Black Panther (2018)
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..." or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjDjIWPwcPU |

Warning Contains Spoilers.........
(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! |

Call me by your name
Watched this film last night on dvd.
I have to say I rather think it was hyped up a lot. Although the young actor Timothée Chalet was very good,I just found it way too long. The press were all over this movie when it was released. But for me it was just ok. |

Roma (2018)
I too saw Roma... [in Spanish with English subs]... oh, what a beautiful film (!!!), a masterpiece...
It was shot in black and white Could easily win best "Foreign Language Film", is also in the running for best "Picture"; it's up for 10 nominations... we'll see... I felt at times as if I was snooping in on on the daily life of a real family - who was surreptitiously under surveillance, especially Cleo. The whole film really touched me, and will be hard to forget. Absolutely, it was a remarkable work of art, and everyone (except for Fermín and the absent husband) was endearing. As an aside, I am sure I saw a '57 Chevy in it - my dad had one, turquoise and white... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKVYRtE-kXI |

Since we have no movie theaters less than an hour away. Have to depend on cable. The last one we watched was Dunkirk. Well acted with beautiful cinematography. Well worth watching, especially for those of us who enjoy WWII military history. It also did justice to the British civilian navy volunteers who, using their own vessels, saved many drowning sailors from ships on fire.
(one problem during the film, Partner and I argued about where Dunkirk was located...She argued, France...I maintained Belgium. We both ended up correct.) |

Widows starring Viola Davis Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki Cynthia Erivo
Set in contemporary Chicago, four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands' criminal activities, take fate into their own hands, and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. IF only this was the movie Hollywood made! A wonderful cast of women that the movie should of revolved around but didn't IMHO! I guess "the powers that be" in Hollywood thought throwing a lame political twist in with big name actors such as Robert Duvall & Collin Farrell would be more bankable! I did enjoy it tho .......... |

ALITA Battle Angel
OK film, but not great.
This film I felt was too hyped up by the producers. It could have been cut by at least 10 minutes. Also i didn't think it looked has visually stunning as Avatar. There was a moral storyline to it. But for me it just didn't delivered. As I usually say make up ya own mind. |
