Movies, Film and My Opinion

 You know, this was actually pretty funny. I really thought that the teen girl would be extremely jealous of the other teen girl over the teen boy and nope! Naivete is perfect. And the two fathers are just so very very opposite, as are the two moms. I do like the grandmother, and her "hair" is just hysterical. This does show how parents can be over-protective of their kids. And this also shows that friends can be found in the strangest of places. And yeah, tv is everywhere. Even with Cave People. This was a truly a fun movie!

 Ok, I'm already a Batman fan. This movie was just...wow. And wow again. The Joker is just as evil as usual but there are so many other players and the Phantasm is ... almost as diabolical as any other villain Batman has faced. This movie also shows me Bruce Wayne in a totally different light: love. Him in love, him wanting to change, him asking his parents to send him a sign...and the woman is gorgeous. But she could be put in danger if they got together and she knew about him. This animated movie is definitely for us Batman fans. And also for us Romantics.

 What an interesting biography of Tina Turner that HBO Max presented. I sat and watched her go through her childhood, her life with Ike, her children, his children being taken care of by her, and when she decided she was gonna leave. And then when she met this wonderful German guy, thought he was "cute", and then their wedding. What a life this woman has had! And she didn't want to revisit the past but there were times she had to in order to move forward. And those that loved her were with her the entire time. And she's an entertainer. A true entertainer. She sings from her heart, she dances with her soul and brings a party with her. I really enjoyed this biography and hope others get a chance to watch the life story of this remarkable woman.

  Not too bad. This was my first time watching this and I had no real idea about the movie other than Madonna was in it and it was based on actual history. Madonna played a young lady very well and an even better older lady! She had poise, she looked great and she sang amazingly! Antonio Banderas as the narrator was wonderfully placed. The songs in this film told the story in a nice flowing way. This was well done. I can't wait to see the musical!

  Wow. And Wow. Like, totally, yes. I enjoyed the first movie that I saw in the theater, but this? Wow! Even my husband enjoyed it a lot more. Yes, it was 4 hours long and yes, had to stop for pee breaks and dessert, but wow. It was more intense for me, a lot of opera music in the background, angelic music, setting some scenes more than others, and just a better feel to it. It was just...wow. I enjoyed it so very, very much. And I'm a Batman fan. I enjoyed everyone working together and putting their strengths to the objective. And the sacrifices. I really, really liked seeing those. I look forward to owning this one on DVD.

 I didn't care for the movie. I watched the whole thing and I'm not impressed. I was hoping something on the scope of Bond or maybe Mission Impossible, but no. Two agents, American and Russian, and an East Russian woman who ruins so many things for both of them. I liked the German, as it tested my ear on my language skills, but plot-wise...naw. I'm not thrilled with it.

 You know what? Not too shabby! The continuing story of Mal and Ben and all their friends. And the audience is introduced to new peeps. New evils. New friends. New loves. And new squeeeee. I really enjoyed the music, especially "W-I-C-K-E-D" and there was another song in the movie that was really, really good. The sword fighting was well rehearsed. Even sat next to my husband, the fencer, as he watched them dance. And dancing in water. I could only put myself in the place of the stage manager for that scene and I just....sighed and tried to get my ASMs ready for clean up.  Good lessons to learn in this one, though: say "I love you" when you feel it and always be accepted for who you really are. Good lessons. And I do like Ben. He tries to do the right thing, he really does. And the dog - yeah, the dog needs to behave.  All in all, good movie. Can't wait to see the 3rd installment.
