Movie *** Between Two Ferns (2019)

rmann September 23, 2019 September 24, 2019Movie and Book Reviews comedy, movie, review 0

Ridiculous comedy, in a Will Ferrel vein, with lots of celebrities but not much humor.

Fun recreation of early radio broadcasts including sound effects and audience participation.

Movie ***** Groundhog Day (1993)

rmann September 1, 2019 September 1, 2019Movie and Book Reviews comedy, fantasy, movie, review 0

Watched one of my favorite comic fantasies—again! Bill Murray was still in top form as the self-absorbed weatherman and Andie MacDowell perfect as his unobtainable producer. Harold Ramis and Danny Rubin get six stars for their screenplay, Ramis six for direction as well, and, as I noticed this time, for…

Stage Show *** As You Like It (Ashland, OR, 2019)

rmann August 23, 2019 September 1, 2019Movie and Book Reviews comedy, drama, period, review, theater 0

Clever song inclusions and staging retold the tale, but the modern gender twists got in the way of the story rather than aiding the modern audience in taking in Shakespeare’s language. Duke Senior, and the other female leads were excellent, but being called Duke and mother was less than satisfying,…

Movie *** Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019)

rmann August 13, 2019 September 24, 2019Movie and Book Reviews action, animation, comedy, fantasy, movie, review, YA 0

Fun, but uneven, adventure. Psychedelic jungle flowers and all the animated sequences and characters could have been eliminated and made the movie stronger.

Movie **** Late Night (2019)

rmann June 23, 2019 June 25, 2019Movie and Book Reviews comedy, movie, review 0

Entertaining comedy partnership of Emma Thompson and Mindy Kaling bringing new, and politically correct, blood to an aging talk-show-host’s writers team.

Movie – **** Men in Black: International (2019)

rmann June 18, 2019 June 25, 2019Movie and Book Reviews comedy, movie, review, sci-fi 0

Smart science fiction comedy that entertained while delivering much the same fare as prior MIBs. Tessa Thompson was great as the first (Woman in Black). Family fun.

Movie ****+ Long Shot (2019)

rmann June 6, 2019 September 24, 2019Movie and Book Reviews comedy, drama, movie, political, review, romance 0

Wonderful adult comedy with Theron and Seth Rogen as unlikely romantic leads. Both fish-out-of-water make the movie work on many levels. And the theme of the need for integrity in all things political couldn’t be more timely or germane for the audience.

Movie ****+ Shazzam (2019)

Totally fun origin movie on the original Captain Marvel. Some silly, but entertaining fun.

Movie **** Isn’t it Romantic (2019)

rmann March 5, 2019 March 29, 2019Movie and Book Reviews comedy, movie, review, romance 0

Rebel Wilson pulls of the challenging premise of a heavyset woman architect trapped in as the star of a romantic comedy.
