  Big Time 1988

  ★★★½ Watched 18 May 2023

  It's Tim Waits--sort of an acquired taste and the more you listen, the more he makes sense.

  The Tragedy of Macbeth 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 15 May 2023

  Like Colin, I would say this is my favorite film version of the Scottish play. Lots of license with a minor character (Rosse) and adding in my ambiguity than many people claim in this play. Love the feel—black and white and gray with lots of play upon shadows. Think Orsen Wells with a sprinkling of Alfred Hitchcock.

  Naughty or Nice 2012

  ★★★ Watched 07 Dec 2022

  Surprising interesting and sometimes funny. More people would enjoy the story than other #HallmarkHallOfFame Xmas films. Nice twist in a #FredClaus sort of way of seeing the two sides of people.

  Once 2007

  ★★★★ Watched 10 May 2023

  Refreshing “musical” that unfolds naturally and plays the tensions correctly. There’s little cliche here, but most of all, the music is fantastic! (Think a more raw Mumford—with as much soul.)
