Counterpart (2017)
Great Series
What a fantastic concept, writing, acting and execution of a series. Someone said J. K. Simmons should be nominated twice for his performance and I agree. It is always great to watch something that is not bland, politically correct, formulated and a rehash of the same old sterile crap.
4:44 Last Day on Earth (2011)
Awful
Other than the opening sensual scene (which didn't add to the storyline), the only other redeeming quality was the film short run time. The stories references to religion uses montages and didn't advance or enhance the story.I am sure there were significance references that I had missed, but it was hard to stay focused on story that didn't go anywhere. The premise was interesting, "What would you do with your last day on earth?". After watching this movie, "Bore everyone to death" seems appropriate. The movie appears to be an under graduate's senior project with family money to promote it. This was 90 minutes I can never recover.
There Will Be Blood (2007)
Good Movie
I found this movie enjoyable, but was puzzled by the ending. I did not see it as the appropriate conclusion; only a way to justify the title. Although this is a character study, I would expect a movie of this quality would have a little more deconnotative meaning. Maybe I just missed it. The performance by Daniel Day Lewis was excellent, but I have seen it before and felt cheated. He should not of received the best actor award for copying the same character he portrayed in the Gangs of New York. The travesty here is only matched that he did not win it then when it was original. In basketball, they call this a make-up call.
