A Star Is Born (2018)
Best Actress & Best Actor For Sure !!!
I am a 50 something male and took my wife and stepdaughter to see this. I wanted to see Bohemian Rhapsody, but the teenager got her way. And I am glad she did.
First with the negatives, skip this paragraph for spoilers.
This was a very powerful movie with really only one fault. In the transition of Gaga from a duet country/rock/folk singer to a Grammy winning new artist pop solo star with dancers was a bit of a misstep. The message of "Telling ones story" was lost in this process. As my step-daughter pointed out, any new pop star today lives in social media to drive their stardom. There was none of this. It would have been more complete is she stayed in the same lane of the same genre she was in with Cooper. It would have been more believable in an "Adelle" sort of way.
It might sound like nitpicking but if the performances were not so outstanding this would have stood out like a sore thumb probably a rating of 6 from me.
The acting by both were once in a decade performances. Each scene everyone was so drawn into the characters. I mean at the level of Streeps Sophie Choice and DeNiros Raging Bulls stay with you for a decade level. A 12 out of 10 to raise the overall review to a 9
Succession (2018)
Very boring
I expect more from a heavily promoted show on HBO. Granted I haven't given it a chance, barely was able to watch the 1st episode and fell asleep 20 min into the 2nd episode
Icarus (2017)
The Best Documentary in 30 Years
The movie started out like any other documentary, a cyclist ( Bryan Fogel) wanting to tell a story of how someone can cheat the system. So he hires the best of the best (Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov) , the director of Russia's national anti-doping laboratory.
This movie goes ways beyond sports or or sport doping. It is a gripping moment by moment of events leading up to Russia being banned from the 2018 Olympics.
It should be an eye opener for anyone who minimizes hoe evil Putin is.
Winner of the 2018 Academy Award for best documentary
The Gateway (2018)
Why Do I trust reviewers on here?
This is a B movie in the worst way.
First it comes off way too "drama" and slow for a decent sci-fi
Another reviewer is right about the score ..... really bad.
I just wasted and hour and 30 minutes of my life that I can't get back.
Taken (2017)
Nothing to do with the movie
This show has absolutely nothing to do with the movie franchise. I gave the pilot a chance due to the lead actor who played Ragnar's brother Rolo in Vikings (a show I like). I was also curious to see what Jennifer Beals looked, and wow now I understand why I haven't heard from her in 20 years. She has no talent and is completely unbelievable in her role I got too board during the 2nd show. The writing, directing and producing reminds me of low budget Canadian TV of 20 years ago.
Even if you are just trying to fill time, you would have a better time watching paint dry, it is that bad.
