The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019)

Highlight of Seattle International Film Festival

[9/10 · 17 August 2019]

Feel good movie that was a late add to the Seattle International Film Festival. Excellent casting. Great to see Shia LaBeouf in a movie of this genre.

Yesterday (III) (2019)

Fun movie

[8/10 · 17 August 2019]

Exceeded my expectations. Movies with good music are always high on my list.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

Classics Quentin Tarantino!

[9/10 · 17 August 2019]

I loved it! Perfect cast and told only as Tarantino can do creating great characters. So glad to see Brad Pitt post Angela and recovery doing well.

The Farewell (I) (2019)

I really wanted to and thought I'd love this movie

[6/10 · 17 August 2019]

But unfortunately I did not. It was okay which is why I'd rate it above 5 but given the storyline, other reviews and the cast, I had higher expectations.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette (2019)

We've All Been There

[8/10 · 16 August 2019]

Started out at little slow and ended strong. The Director took to long to help us understand the complexity of Bernadette and her real struggles -which we can all identify with, so that we really liked and rooted for her. Once the movie got there it took off and ended strong. One criticism overall and not so much about this movie but an overall statement. If a movie is set in a specific city - film it in that city. There were obvious obligatory scenes of Seattle but It was clearly filmed mostly elsewhere.
