Lexx: Yo Way Yo (2002)
The journey's the thing...
This series is so great! Bizarre and funny and twisted. An experience. The end is never as good as you hope but could have been worse I suppose. Don't know what could have been done otherwise (it's Lexx, could be anything!) Necessary but difficult to say goodbye...
Proximity (2020)
Not bad, not great
Really good parts. Music you will like or not, apparently. Then... Jesus? I can imagine they meant to imply being abducted (and believed) is kinda like being saved (and believed)? And I felt like the elephant in the room was the missing "jesus is love" dialogue 💚
The Box (2009)
Morality scifi
Original story from the 50s? Added scifi twist and typical scifi ending / no ending. I think some people hate it BC it makes them think! 🤣
The Current War (2017)
I refuse to see this
The real story is probably a very sad and horrible one but I want to know as much of the truth as possible. I'm pretty sure this isnt it. I hope someday someone bothers. This persistence in telling this version of the story is weird. Revisionist history and our reaction to it is very disturbing.
A Star Is Born (2018)
A beautiful film succeeds...
Beautiful acting, performing, directing, editing. I didnt like a single song but could see the beauty in them all. It does require your full attention for the full effect (very difficult for some these days, as evinced by the other reviews here.)
The story is updated - a contemporary view of a life destroyed by pain and drugs and/or alcohol. The love story and rise and fall and more are just the vehicles. It is so successful that I think that's why its loved AND hated. Alcoholics hate seeing the truth and consequences of their actions.
Queer Eye (2018)
Love love love!
There's enough love here to heal the world, one person at a time. The guys set a fantastic example for anyone anywhere on how to be a caring and engaged human being. Love!
Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath (2016)
There but for the grace of god...
40 years ago I came close. You think you wouldn't be vulnerable to something like Scientology but hit a rough patch and you'd be surprised. I HIGHLY recommend a book published in 1990 and still relevant today titled "A Piece of Blue Sky: Scientology, Dianetics, and L. Ron Hubbard Exposed" by John Atuck. I am still, 40 years later, moved by this book. It is HUGE yet read so fast, like an exciting mystery. I had a neighbor who lost a family member to this frightening group. I share my copy of the book as often as possible and earn anyone when they show interest.
Leah and co should be supported and protected so they can continue their important work. We are currently living in times ideal for the insanity of this pseudo-religion. I wish them the best and hope they can continue for as long as possible. 💚
Source Code (2011)
Loved!
Make a movie night of it. Not a try to watch while whatever night. Got better each time I watched it 😊
Christmas at Graceland (2018)
Disappointing
Sadly, miss pickler cannot act. There are other shortfalls, but this is the main disappointment. Happily, most of these xmas movies are pleasant enough to have on, even repeatedly, but not this one.
St. Vincent (2014)
Loved!
Wonderful film! Heartbreaking and hopeful. Every single character perfect.
