El verano que vivimos (2020)

Beautifully Done!

[10/10 · 10 October 2021]

The Scenery was spectacular, the acting, wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the film.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

Great Special Effects BUT Horrible Film Overall

[5/10 · 3 April 2021]

There was no plot and overall a complete disappointment. The fight scenes between Kong and Godzilla were very good and the acting was really incredible, considering the dialogue was just awful. I can't believe they couldn't come up with something better. Unbelievably disappointing!

Seabiscuit (2003)

BEST EVER!!

[10/10 · 20 August 2020]

I just adore this film and everything about it! The acting is phenomenal and the horses, so elegant and majestic to watch. After Seabiscuit wins the race against War Admiral, no matter how many times I've watched this movie, I'm filled with overwhelming emotion as Biscuit gloriously begins his winning prance around the track. It's a feel-great movie about rising up from desperate and sometimes, tragic circumstances to finding one's way with love, generosity, and plain old heart. Don't miss it! In 2020, it's still relevant!

Grant (2020)

A MASTERPIECE!!

Justin Salinger is em remarkable. The acting and commentary is wonderful and I so enjoyed this miniseries!! Can't wait for more! I also enjoyed immensely the George Washington miniseries. I really love the History channel!

Star Trek Beyond (2016)

Loved it!

[10/10 · 22 July 2016]

I LOVE STAR TREK! I also loved the movie! I often wonder why so many people go into these extended reviews as to why or why not they liked or did not like a film. Hey! I just want to be entertained for a few hours and that's about it. The truth is everyone is different and the reasons, notwithstanding, it's each person's individual tastes in film. I think the same about music. With that said, I've loved Star Trek since the late 60's and I love the new crew of the Enterprise. I love the interaction and bond between them and that is what pulls me back, time after time. So, just go to see it for the crew, the story and the fun!

Outlander (2014– )

Absolutely MARVELOUS!!

[10/10 · 27 September 2014]

I have watched the season finale 4 times and each time I cry even harder. The book, although wonderful did not illicit the emotions I've had watching the actors reenact a book that I've loved for years. I'm amazed each and every time how wonderful it really is! Just enthralling!! I don't want to give away any of the story line. However, this episode, alone was worthy of an Emmy! The addition of the new actors was truly dead on! This is just an epic story told from Claire's point of view. I wonder how they'll recreate the next two books. After seeing the episode I had to pick up the books again. Ideally, I would have just been engrossed in the succeeding storyline. While truly loving the story and the author's manner of telling it, I have to say that the Starz show has been the most remarkable book to TV series. I didn't cry when reading the book and watching Jamie and Claire on television truly was the means of bringing the story to life and making me feel...really feel. The music was also wonderful and fit every scene. Don't miss it!
