Movie ***** Spider-man into the Spiderverse (2018)

Wonderfully complex animated film. Best Animated Feature Film Oscar by a long shot. No one but Miyazaki’s work and a few Pixar and Laika films are the same league.

Movie ****+ Crazy Rich Asians (2018)

Expertly pokes fun at Asian prejudices against other Asians, particularly those raised in the United States. Full of humor and social commentary.

Movie ***** Notting Hill (1999)

One of my favorite romantic comedies where a bookshop owner falls in love with the most famous actress in the world. Hugh grant and Julia Roberts are at the top of their form, and the script is delightful. Can be watched once-a-month.

Movie ***** Game Night (2018)

My favorite 2018 comedy – so far. Way above the bar for pure entertainment and surprises. This kind of fun is why we all go to movies.

Movie **** The Little Hours (2017)

rmann September 1, 2017 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Bizarre, with modern bad language, but set in a Middle Age’s convent, with a host of bad nuns, novitiates, and monks. Irreverently funny.

Movie review – ****** Groundhog Day (1993)

rmann June 25, 2016 September 1, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

One of my favorite comic fantasies. Bill Murray was 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 and Ramis six for direction as well.
