  Wicked 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 21 Nov 2024

  LOVED LOVED LOVED this movie!  totally lived up to the hype!  the thing about musicals is, if the acting isn't right, the show doesn't work.  the casting is outstanding and all the actors are superb. loved Ari's performance so funny and also genuinely sweet, Cynthia with her subtle facial expressions, Jonathan - well, just being Jonathan, Michelle and Jeff playing the adored/admired/hated perfectly. I can't wait for Part 2! 🖤💚

  Daddio 2023

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 30 Jun 2024

  I was pleasantly surprised by this movie! just two people spending 90 minutes talking. 
  Taxi drivers -- amateur psychologists, masters of small talk,  listening to the everyday, getting to know you by asking critical questions -- they have nothing to lose, so they can get away with it. 
  The direction was spot on-- so detailed and set the tone for the film- may help that the director also wrote the screenplay.  
  Such great acting from Sean and Dakota! effortless dialogue, a natural back & forth and a genuine developed relationship by the end of the movie. 
  Can she request him for her next ride?

  Anatomy of a Fall 2023

  ★★★★★ Watched 29 Jan 2024

  The acting in this film is superb! Sandra Hüller has my vote for best actress this year! (was rooting for Lily Gladstone before I saw this film) 
  The script is so intriguing especially when they alternate between English and French throughout--adding to the reality of everyday life for the characters. 
  The film leaves you sorting through the facts and assumptions that are made in search of justice--they even have a website  for audiences to cast their vote if guilty or not. 
  Excellent performances from the whole cast ESPECIALLY  the son and have to mention the dog!!  Loved it!
