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

Here is a fine gem of a movie. Kiesha Castle-Hughes’s Oscar-nominated performance is outstanding. All the secondary performances are terrific as well. Will make you cry.

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…

rmann August 2, 2019 September 1, 2019Movie and Book Reviews documentary, drama, movie, sports, travel 0

Documentary of Tracy Edwards leading the first all-woman crew in the 1989 Whitbread Round the World Race. Terrific recreation of the internal drive, pressures, rivalries, and dangers of such competition.

rmann July 24, 2019 September 1, 2019Movie and Book Reviews action, movie, review, thriller 0

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) – Quintessential Tarantinio, brilliant and flawed. Great performances by Pitt and DiCaprio.
