Truthseekers (2022– )

Extremely Informative

[10/10 · 14 December 2023]

Thanks to Freevee Ch.

Extremely informative:

I was very surprised by such thorough fact-finding, on this show. Season 1, on Freevee, has 12 episodes of exceptional, no-nonsense information about various, 'mystery subjects,' like one Episode about 'Crystal Skulls,' & its long-term research, is one of the later shows.

The photography, bounces-cuts around a bit much, when longer shots of particular sites & aerials could be more thorough.

The other Episodds that interested me, are: The Great Pyramid of Giza, The Holy Grail, The Ark of The Covenant, Nazca Lines, Chitzen Itza, Bermuda Triangle, & Easter Island.

The Portrait of a Lady (1996)

Isabel Archer, Dir.

[10/10 · 28 December 2022]

For any woman, to tell Suchhhh, a story, & so 'artfully,' is a 'long time,' memorable, thoughtfully accomplished, if 'period-piece,' of real, Directorial Skill... Helped me a lot, in many ways, 'as a woman,' myself... Kudos, CAST :)

The 600, 'Required Characters,' for a REVIEW HERE:

i wish i could tell you, what 'thoughtful,' means, other than, all-characters, in this film, are 'archetypes,' of a sort, that as 'world consciousness,' we might LEARN FROM, &'grow out of,' if such a thing were ever considered POSSIBLE...

Many films are 'comparable,' in attempts: 'Paris, Texas,' & Wim Weders' other tales / films, also approach this subject, sensitively.

Legend (1985)

Fantasy Fairy-Tale

[10/10 · 14 December 2022]

Early work, from Dir. Ridley Scott, Musical Dir. Jerry Goldsmith, & both stars, Mia Sara & Tom Cruise, who are 'gorgeous,' in it... It seems to me, that i actually saw this film in L. A., in about 1983, & no later than that, so surprised at the dates given, as 1985, & 1986, on streaming with Amazon. THE FILM: is TOTALLY EYE-CANDY, before we ever had those words put-together !!!

Personally, i never 'belueved in the devil,' tho' this film makes a 'pretty good case for its existence'... At the time, i took it as 'purely entertainment,' but nowadays, i'm NOT SO SURE !!! (...if THAT'S 'funny'... har...( Yes, i've watched it once after 'the big screen,' & i would buy a copy of this film. It's so well-done, as to have absolutely 'breath-taking,' shots... AMAZING, really. :)

Taking Sides (2001)

Excellent Questions, put to all viewers...

[10/10 · 30 August 2022]

Really, this film, & its exceptional actors, cover new ground, on an incomprehensible 'history,' of pure-evils, dished-out, by non-cognizance, toward, the push for 'excellence,' as it might be called.

The film points out, how 'both sides,' can be 'Right & Wrong,' at the same time !!!

(The double entendre of the films Title, is based on the film being about MUSIC, & the modern-reference is from 'double-sided,' vinyl-recordings, of music, as the modern-pop-culture-quip: 'listen-to-some-sides,' during the hey-day, of 33.3 rpm LP's...)

Film points-out many unanswered questions, on the horrific-historical-topic.

& could it ever repeat ?

THAT, might just be up to us.

(Take a quip, SERIOUSLY, like 'sides' ??? NOPE... not me...(

THINK ABOUT IT ??? (...AS LONG AS I KNOW, WHAT, TO THINK ABOUT !!! ) &, Always did i, THINK FIRST, if given a chance to... always will...

PINCH ME, & see if it HURTS ME ?

Hmmm: i should 'think' about THAT ???

Hardly.

The 355 (2022)

2022... Finally Getting Somewhere !!!!

[10/10 · 27 July 2022]

That was 'GREAT,' gals... INCREDIBLE, in fact. :)

'150 charcters,' included, needed for 'a Review,' to be submitted: So, Director, did a fabulous, 24-frames-per-second, job of keeping 'the eye, of any human being,' EXACTLY where ot needs to be, at any given moment, of this jaw-dropping, non-cgi, filmic-experience, & modern-'story.' Really nice WORK ! :)

Contact (1997)

'The book was better,' lol

[10/10 · 22 April 2022]

'Society,' is uneducated about 'consciousness', & Astronomy: two very big, life-long-study, SUBJECTS, that cannot be REDUCED... HENCE: This is a 'movie,' that never quite reached 'film status,' for me. Good for kids, but more like a 'field-trip,' for the whole family.

Point of the book is 'shortly-stated,' here... Conciousness is given 'from the stars,' &, 'there are more stars than grains of sand upon the earth,' is an Astronomy factoid, that took DECADES, to 'societally' comprehend. After i read the book, i 'slept on it,' for a MONTH, in 1990. Forgot about being disappointed with the big-movie, after about a month too... lol :)

Flight (I) (2012)

Moral Of The Story

[10/10 · 22 April 2022]

I could write a damned TREATISE on it, but i won't.

(The main character, is not guilty of anything , except a 'character flaw.' Too bad that is not fleshed put, in the film, or the 'justice' imparted him.

The Knowledge of the Forever Time (2015)

Closed Minds💔

[10/10 · 23 March 2022]

Favorite Quotes from this great series:

'They painted with a paint that could last 30,000 years...'

&, 'Enlightenment, is an alien concept to us'... (ar-ar-ar-ar, & still not funny...

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

Quick Note, on Film Revisted

[10/10 · 1 February 2022]

Best thing i notice, is most 'Action Film' sound, uses 'sheer volume,' to accentuate action, but THIS SOUND, is excellently done, even-level, with a 'quiet-aspect,' that perfectly suits the 'secretive nature,' of the whole story. IT IS SO PLEASANT, to be able to hear EVERYTHING, w/o 'huge increases, & decreases,' in 'Sound Volume'... Great actors, good story, & FABULOUS, FILM SOUND TECHNIQUE. (It's uniquely, NOTEWORTHY, so, i mention it. Thanks a LOT, Sound Direction, & Crew. It's PERFECT ! )💜
