Fun Tony Stark interaction trumps thwarting the Vulture.

Absolutely loved this sci.fi. movie and would see it again for its visual beauty alone. Luc Besson does it again with an engaging story, characters, and visuals. The little matter-duplicating creature is a bit over the top (more fantasy than science), but fun.

Movie ****+ Wonder Woman (2017)

Excellent origin story that’s more fun than the Nazi antagonist plot. Would have liked more of Diana’s amazement at life off her island of Amazons.

Movie ***+ Tampopo (1985)

Entertaining Ramen noodle shop comedy.

Movie ***+ Funk Brothers (2011)

Fun music history documentary of the studio musicians behind some of Motown’s greatest hits.

Movie ***** Evita (1996)

The unlikely sing duo of Madonna and Antionio Banderas do a fantastic Oscar-winning job with the Andrew Lloyd Weber songs.

Superb find-the-assassin movie. Tony Britton, Inspector Label, must track down Edward Fox, a believable sociopath, paid to assassinate De Gaulle.

Movie **** Beauty and the Beast (2017)

Surprisingly good adaptation with Emma Watson a credible Belle and Dan Stevens as Beast. No remake, however, will replace the magic of Jean Cocteau’s French 1946 classic.

Movie ****+ Colossal (2016)

Oddball masterpiece of fantasy/sci.fi. with Ann Hathaway returning to her hometown after disaster in N.Y. to unfinished business with Oscar, a childhood boyfriend. Unexpectedly a world-threatening battle between giant monsters in Seoul, Korea, is controlled by them from a sandlot in a hometown playground.

Movie **** Ghost in the Shell (2017)

rmann April 3, 2017 March 27, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

Well-made sci.fi. of cyber-enhanced Major, Scarlett Johansson, a created weapon. Despite controversy about the casting of Johansson in the original comic books Asian main role, she does an excellent acting job. I bought her conflict over her uncertain origins.
