Text of the page (random words):
yles the bakers end up collaborating with and butting heads with others for example tammy believes in loving everyone including homosexuals and bringing them closer to god while jerry falwell and others reject this idea the movie covers the financial fraud and theft by jim baker as well as his and others possible homosexual dalliances it skips some of the nastier things that the bakers and other prosperity preachers did such as telling the poorest people to take out bankrupting loans to give them the bakers money as proof of their belief this was supposed to result in being paid back many times over by god but typically resulted in lost fortunes bankruptcy and even death when people ran out of money to pay for cancer treatments etc but that would make it harder for tammy to be a sympathetic screen character this was quite a good movie interesting well acted well scripted and well shot i didn t see the documentary if it is good some might ask the question why this movie needs to exist the father this tour de force from anthony hopkins is a crushing look at a man with alzheimer s it s impossible to describe without giving away the film but the simple explanation is this anthony plays a man who has alzheimer s he does not accept this but he is not always sure of his memory olivia colman plays his long suffering daughter other characters appear or disappear and that s all you need to know both of them as well as the director play the scenes with sensitivity and creativity it is engrossing puzzling and marvelous this is not a feel good movie while it is sometimes depressing it is so well done that it doesn t really matter think oh let s say kramer vs kramer level of pathos but it s not as miserable as some movies like ones about slavery poverty or horrific abuse so you don t want to kill yourself after watching it still that makes it a movie that is not for casual movie night with friends worth watching king richard this is an okay feel good movie that is something of a crime in its conception this is the story of the father of venus and serena williams about his plan from before their birth to raise tennis pros who would rise up out of the ghetto compton compete at international level and make a lot of money will smith produced the movie and also plays richard the father while he does a credible job with the role he remains a slight change in dialect version of will smith so he s fine but not great aunjanue ellis plays his wife and mother of the two stars as well as mother of three previous also successful girls and saniyya sidney and demi singleton play venus and serena everyone acts well the directing is somewhat heavy handed at times but not often and not too much this is an okay sports movie about a man with daughters and his struggles to overcome his surroundings and his own demons he overcomes a few of them but some of his actions and decisions were pretty bad and the movie never takes him to task for them i understand that venus and serena were consultants on the movie so it is based somewhat on reality at least i hear that richard was actually a lot more of a hard ass than he appears in the film as a film it works fine but this movie is still a crime here was the opportunity to tell the story of two fierce beautiful successful amazing young black girls women and instead we get a movie about a man where the two girls women are props in his story why seriously why do we need this story it s not a bad story but it s also not that original or dramatic the venus and serena stories are barely told this would be so much better if it were their story with their father as a prop so it is a little depressing pixie this irish movie is a throwaway mafia road film it s a comedy about various criminals on the run occasionally double crossing each other it has some violence but not enough to make me turn it off while watching it on the airplane the characters though insane were at least sweet enough for me to watch through to the incredibly ridiculous and yet entirely predictable end forgettable and not worth watching but not terrible beautifully shot in ireland and capable acting spencer this movie is directed by pablo larraín the same person who directed jackie a movie that i disliked i thought jackie was directed or possibly written very poorly mostly closeups of natalie portman s face and endless screen time with her looking forlorn and pitiful that s really not entertaining people laud the acting of someone in closeup who is forlorn for 2 hours but it doesn t make for a good movie so i was not looking forward to see what this director would do for lady diana i hoped to be pleasantly surprised i was not pleasantly surprised in fact it was exactly as poorly directed scripted as jackie lots of closeups of a miserable forlorn face people close to diana said that kristen stewart inhabited the role well with all of the correct mannerisms and intonations i thought the acting was affected distracting and overdone too bad since i like to give kristen the benefit of the doubt but am often disappointed the movie is about a weekend that diana spends at a castle with the royal family she struggles with her eating disorder and her difficult husband tries to visit her old family home and runs afoul of royal expectations she leaves early takes the children and separates one presumes from charles back in london the rest of the casting costuming and cinematography is fine the story is not it s just moaning warbling and fretting with the occasional pointed conversation in between i was fine with the conversations but that was only about 1 3 of the movie just watch the crown no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels movies

pinterest labels board games gaming rpgs wednesday october 13 2021 movie reviews street gang sesame street documentary toy story 4 the truth the vast of night street gang how we got to sesame street this fantastic documentary outshines the mediocre documentaries i have watched lately children television workshop s sesame street incorporating jim henson s muppets was a game changer for television and a global phenomenon and this film makes you feel it i learned a lot about the people and history of sesame street that i did not know such as the groundbreaking use of research and educator input used to create an educational program together with comedians and puppet makers to make it appealing to both children and adults the nostalgia i got while watching it made me sing along with some of the songs that i had not heard since my childhood i guess if you never saw ss you won t get this nostalgia the film could have presented some of the data that lets us know that the children that they targeted actually had better school performance as a result aside from this one missing element this was a treat and worth watching toy story 4 featuring a who s who of celebrity voices this fourth installment in the toy story series is only slightly lesser quality than the first three which were all great still enjoyable still funny still fun and still full of heart only the story is a little more scattered woody and co are now bonny s toys woody sneaks along with bonny on her first day of school to check up on her and helps her create forky a stick figure made from crappy plastic forky thinks of himself as garbage and that he should be thrown away but woody tries to keep him around for bonnie s sake meanwhile they travel to an rv park where woody meets bo gabby gabby duke caboom and other toys who have various plans to become owned by children or to reunite children with their toys all the while trying to not get separated from bonny there are messages about the nature of reality what it means to belong or to be useful what is worth sacrificing and where our higher purposes lie all in the form of kinetic action comedy and pathos if you watched the first three of course you will watch this one if you have not it might be slightly confusing to follow so watch at least toy story 3 first hard to believe they have been doing this for 25 years and that they haven t messed it up yet the truth a french drama starring catherine deneuve juliette binoche ethan hawke and ludivine sagnier fabienne is a famous but aging actress writing a book lumir is her screenwriter daughter who with her husband hank and daughter charlotte is visiting her mother in france fabienne lies to lumir lumir lies to fabienne and this continues for the whole movie fabienne did and does many insulting things to everyone around her oblivious to their pain fabienne s excuse is that she is a liar and a pathetic wife and mother because she gave it all to her art of acting meanwhile charlotte may learn something maybe the wrong thing from them both this is a dialog heavy open ended drama where you quickly realize that you are never going to find out what the actual truth is because everything you know comes from the mouths of the actors and they are thoroughly unreliable that is both tantalizing and infuriating it is a movie about acting and aging and about what you get from your mother vs what you need from her it is similar in feel and plot to the very good clouds of sils maria that i saw a few years ago that was better but this is also good how could it not be considering the talented cast worth watching on a small screen mostly in subtitles the vast of night this is a strange but wonderful film for film buffs only rather than watch this for the plot some kind of lights have been seen in the sky above a small new mexico town in the 1950s and some high schoolers who work with radios try to discover what is happening that s it you watch it for the acting suspense and cinematography it stars sierra mccormick and jake horowitz as the high schoolers fay and everett the film has some fantastic shots the opening is a series of walk and talks with the main characters at long shots off screen or behind things giving us a sense of something off kilter there are several more long shots of sierra or jake fielding phone calls from bewildered townfolk or talking over the events while rummaging through old recordings one impressive and fascinating long take swoops from fay at one end of town traveling for a mile at ground level over fences and through the high school basketball game to everett at the other end of town what does it all mean who knows the acting sets sound and camerawork are phenomenal the dialog is mysterious and captivating even though very little actually happens but the same is true for all suspense movies where things may be happening but it s hard to know what after a lot of dialog it ends with a run through a field when the mysterious lights come into sight this whole movie would have been the opening 3 minutes of an x files episode if you want standard passive entertainment you should probably pass but it is sure fun to watch if you love to watch something really good and really different no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels movies review older posts home
