Venus (2016)
Insightful
I really enjoyed Venus. As a man, it was interesting to hear women speak candidly about the pressure to be beautiful and moderate their sexuality-which is totally unfair and oppressive. All women are beautiful in their own way, in my humble opinion. This documentary is insightful and i hope men will view it and try to understand and try to please women as much as theu sometimes try to please us.
Disconnect (2012)
Intense
The acting in this sleeper was well-directed and timely. Time well-spent.
Dirty Beautiful (2015)
I didn't want to like it but.......I did
I was going to stop watching after the first 15 minutes, but I decided to give it 10 minutes more and it was worth it. Not sure about all of the low ratings but it really is worth watching.
The Irishman (2019)
Not Scorsese's best work-but worth the watch
I'm a big fan of Scorsese, Bobby D, and Pachino and although this film does not represent the best work of any of them, I thought it was worth a high score. It was a little too long, but still a good movie and worth watching.
Vox Lux (2018)
Black Swan-ish......not really.
The first half of this movie was promising-until Portman showed up and wrecked it. I liked Natalie Portman's work....until this. This seems to be what happens when some actors win an Oscar-they coast on their past laurels.
The Quiet (2005)
What a waste of time
Don't do it.......waste your time on this movie. I like Camilla Bell and Edie Falco, but this movie's script is not worth their talents or your time. Do yourself a favor and skip it.
Shéhérazade (2018)
A well-told story of complicated attraction and consequences
I'm not really one for love stories, but this one has an edge and tells a good street-story. Definitely worth watching.
Mid90s (2018)
Time well spent
This is a film worth watching for anyone. Well written, well directed and well acted-impressive. A very nice first outing for Jonah Hill as a director. I'm already looking forward to his next movie.
Roma (2018)
What a disappointment
Poor character development, poor writing, no characters to like or hate, boring and overly hyped. Don't waste your time on this long, though well-photographed, banal flop.
Goliath (2016)
Don't believe the hype!
This series was recommended to me by one of my best friends who said it was so good that he nearly binge-watched it. Episode 2 was good; the concept, okay; anything with Billy Ray Thornton is usually worth checking out-but don't believe the hype about how good the series is supposed to be.
Bakha satang (1999)
Very Impressive reverse linear storytelling
This is one of those movies that to enjoy, you must be patient-at least through the initial 20 minutes or so. The story-telling style is out of the ordinary. The protagonist is himself also the antagonist. Oh, the choices we make and how they return to bite us sometimes.
