Very good adaptation of the book. I even believed in Jennifer Lawrence as a prima ballerina. Difficult subject matter was handled better than in most such films.

Movie ****+ Annihilation (2018)

rmann March 30, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Thinking person’s science fiction where the science we know is slowly spinning out of control.

Movie ***** Notting Hill (1999)

rmann March 5, 2018 March 27, 2019Movie and Book Reviews 0

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)

rmann February 25, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

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 ***** Black Panther (2018)

rmann February 18, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Wonderful origin movie for the Black Panther character where the fictional country of Wakonda is fully realized. Chadwick Boseman was terrific in the lead role.

Movie **** Baby Driver (2017)

rmann February 6, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Unusual heist movie sold by Ansel Elgort and Kevin Spacey.

Movie ***+ The Greatest Showman (2017)

rmann February 5, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Nice musical history of P.T. Barnum. Entertaining effort by Hugh Jackman.

Movie ****+ The Oscar-nominated Short Films 2018: Live Action (2018)

rmann January 28, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Excellent collection of short films. All these films were worth watching, but although The Silent Child won, my favorite was Watu Wote/All of Us which showed the crippling effects of religious intolerance and the simple power of people bonding with each other in spite of their different backgrounds and surroundings.

Movie ****+ Phantom Thread (2017)

rmann January 28, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Wonderful Daniel Day-Lewis film with exceptional performances by Vicky Krieps and Lesley Manville.Full of surprises and interesting characters.

Movie *** The Other Side of Hope (2017)

rmann January 7, 2018 May 27, 2018Movie and Book Reviews 0

Strange movie of a poker-playing restaurant investor.
