The only reason I gave it 2.5 stars was for the dancing. What a stupid, vapid, overplayed script. I fast forwarded through the dialogue because it didn’t matter to get to the dancing.

Kind of sad. Looking for a job when you’re unskilled and a black male in the 70’s. Day work, laborer, and other menial jobs. But he should have been more understanding with his wife.

I’m not fond of movies like this. Fueled by a cool sound track, good actors overacting. Great scenery. Dramatic highs. I think I’m being asked to accept this. It’s not good film. It’s a movie made by MGM for profit. I was disappointed it was Ridley Scott. I was surprised that Lady Gaga was in it.I’m not fond of movies like this.

Interesting plot. But I’m not sure all of Hitchcock’s film stand the test of time. Such an involved story for a murder with a deadly (ha ha) twist. It is kind of a timed play. Few actors, story mapped out.

Interesting movie about a woman studying to be a fashion designer who can see back to the 60’s and a glamorous woman who ends up in a tragic life. And how she handles it.

Based on a true story, which are stories I like to know. The horrible, worst environmental disaster in the U.S. causing a loss of 11 lives and a swath of broken lives.

This is billed as a comedy, and there are some funny parts. But overall it’s a reality check on changing friendships. The life of comedians isn’t always fun. Funny.

I’m on a Catherine Deneuve binge. She is very beautiful. She’s a con artist to the hilt and I felt for the man she was on. Don’t get to close to a nefarious lover.

Sad portrayal of unusual friendships the super makes with his tenets. Catherine Deneuve is so neurotic, but that’s part of the story.

I really enjoyed learning about a Kansas Citian and his interesting life. I listened to the book THE PANDEMIC OF 1918 twice and was fascinated how medicine was still prehistoric until maybe 50 years ago. Particularly before penicillin was discovered.

That was horribly wonderful. Soul stealing, brutal, heartbreaking, violent, stupid war. Not much really changes from war to war. Every stupid operson that gets the idea that war is a great idea to solve problems should watch this and sit in a room alone until they figure out war solves nothing.That was horribly wonderful.

I don’t know. I don’t particularly like movies like this. Not fond of Christian Bale, as handsome as he is, or Robert De Niro. Took me 3 nights to finish it and not sure I started where I left off. Love Margot Robbie.

Didn’t know anything about The Harlem Cultural Festival in 1969. But Woodstock was going on and the turmoil that sprang from that pretty much overshadowed anything else for years. Good documentary

I can see how this could happen. Overworked in an unappreciated job as a fast food Manager. Trying to comply because someone said ‘police’ and ‘undercover work.’ Getting caught up in the twists and turns of struggling.

Kate Winslet? Really? Why is she doing detective dramas like this? I guess because she’s Executive Producer and star? Sometimes it seemed as if Kate Winslet was acting to hard to be hard nosed, distant, tough and vulnerable.

‘Stylish production, all star cast.’ Stock rolls. I’m not fond of Kenneth Branagh. Why remake this film? Try something new.

I think Brad Pitt was mis-cast. Sean Bean would have done a better job. Eric Bana is great and such an overlooked actor. It should have been an epic, but wasn’t.
