  Barbie and the Three Musketeers 2009

  ★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2020

  You do not have to read the original book to understand the movie. This movie was another entertaining entry into the BCU (barbie cinematic universe) based upon the three musketeers. Barbie is a plucky protagonist with the help of her three friends who all want to be musketeers with their own flair for fighting. They literally prevent a coup and look good while doing it. Who else can say that? Only Barbie. But seriously this was fun but not as good as other Barbie movie fair.

  X-Men: Apocalypse 2016

  ★½ Watched 17 Mar 2020

  yikes!!! This was something I watched out of sheer curiosity and was rewarded with nothing for my service. The movie just doesn't want to be loved at all. It's weird. The conflict does nothing for me. More and more Xmen characters are either wasted potential or sidelined. You can point and look but there is nothing much here.

  Portrait of a Lady on Fire 2019

  ★★★★½ Watched 07 Mar 2020

  This was something that I looked forward to as I do not watch many foreign-language films. This movie blew me away with the sentimentality, the acting, the quiet conflict, and the sheer atmosphere of the two women who loved each other. It's a really quiet feast for the eyes and should be watched at some point in your life. IT'S A LOVE STORY FOR THE AGES I TELL YOU!!!

  even in the theater I could not shake the thought that this movie felt like a video game.
  the story of a man who is indifferent to a mission which then becomes his only way to honor his friend is told wonderfully through the score, the acting, and the feeling of a long shot.
  I usually avoid war movies, but this was something unique to behold. if you are just curious, I think this movie is worth your time.
