MOVIES 2018

I love to go to the movies.  I could go once a week or more.  I don't like to watch them at home with other people because the no talking rule seems to not exist in this environment. I like to sit in a big-ass theatre and watch a story unfold right before my eyes.

•  The Post- Meryl Streep wasn't strong enough in this movie. How did she go from a swishy-washy newspaper editor to someone who stood up to our government?
• Darkest Hour- Churchill was portrayed too much as a kook rather than brilliant. But the movie did show his strong, decisiveness.
• Ladybird- loved it but the ending feel apart. I've watched it twice.
•  The Greatest Showman- a great show with lots of showmanship.
•  The Shape of Water- what a bizarre movie.
•  I, Tanya- OMG, I've seen this movie twice already. I loved it. It's funny, dark, unbelievable and entertaining.  I had forgotten a lot of the details of this event.
•  Three Billboards in Ebbing, Missouri- I would have rewritten the ending if they had asked me.
•  Leisure Seeker- a sad topic, a fun movie. Lots of poor acting in the supporting roles.
•  A Wrinkle In Time- a great fantasy movie. I never read the book.
•  The Isle of Dogs- I love Wes Anderson and his movies.  I really liked this one but it was not my favorite.
•  Chappaquiddick- how did Kennedy get away with this crime?
•  Pope Francis- In His Own Words- this man is humbling.
•  RBG- outstanding. What a woman!!! I wish she could live for another 25 years.
•  Won't You Be My Neighbor- outstanding.  I was sure that I was not going to like this movie.  I went with my friend who is a early childhood educator and she made me go.  So I went and I loved this movie and this boring man.
• The Gardener- outstanding; now I want to explore gardens around the world.
• Book Club- I didn't really like it. The ending was too obvious.
• Sorry To Bother You- this story started out to be very thought provoking and turned out to be silly and creepy.
• Three Identical Strangers- what a sad story of abusive power.
• Eighth Grade- what true, ugly depiction of this awful time in life.
• Iron Giant- it's a kid's movie but I still liked it.
• AmeriKKKlanman- OMG, it was hard to watch this movie.
• Catcher Became the Spy- I couldn't fight in a war.  I would be too scared and I would cry too much.
• Juliet, Naked- a love story
• Fahrenheit 11/9- the message I received: don't trust the RNC or the DNC.
• The Bookshop- I wanted to love this movie but I just liked it.
• Free Solo- why do some people take such physical risks?
• Colette- I've read some of her works but didn't realize she was so riske.
• A Star is Born- I know so many people loved it but I just liked it.  But Lady Gaga was excellent.
• Green Book- I am continually stunned at the racism in our country.
• Can you Ever Forgive Me?- I love Melissa McCarthy.
• Beautifully Boy- I just cant imagine what it must be like to watch your child get swallowed up in a drug addiction.
• Bohemian Rhapsody- I never liked Queen but I loved this movie.
• Roma- I am not sure I got all of the symbolism in this movie.
• The Favourite- It was funny and very strange.
