Roman J. Israel, Esq. (2017)
I knew it was Denzel, but like I KNEW it was Roman!
Amazing acting!
Intriguing story.
Highly believable yet entertaining.
Great music too.
Beyond (2014)
So, like...he gets to choose?
*********************SPOILER ALERT!*********************
He's like on the floor and bleeding. She calls and says the ship is breaking apart, and she's just had the baby girl. But also, he's looking at the ship from the hillside at shore, holding a picture of the baby and she's missing.
The store cashier who got shot and later shoots the lead character has a shirt with silhouettes of the spaceship on it and he recites everything that the lead remembers anyone saying for the past two years.
Even the stain on the lead's shirt is a bloody image of the space ship.
Two alternate realities offered for his choosing?
Thank goodness it is streaming! I need to watch it again to make sure I understand it. That is not a good thing to have to do.
It's like EVERY human being had a chance to choose their reality. Apparently, most chose Norway?
Good Deeds (2012)
Unbelievable acting - really - Unbelievable
I liked the storyline (it reminded me of a classic movie, the title of which escapes me at the moment). There seemed to be a lot of filler (hashing and rehashing of topics that were unnecessary), and a lot of holes (disconnects or missing plot elements), but overall I enjoyed this film despite the fact I am a male. Though the two seemingly main characters were males, this clearly was a chick flick, and that makes me wonder about Mr. Perry and just how much or how often he visits his "feminine" side. The movie had the look and feel of a big budget movie, unlike almost ALL of Mr. Perry's other films. I was grateful for that. I found Mr. Perry's acting in "Deeds" a refreshing departure from his usual, matronly facade. (SPOILER) Although, I'm sure even he would admit it is nowhere near Oscar quality. His transformation from uptight conformist to devil may care player was well paced, if not believable. And, less believable was the warp speed jump to and from affection in the portrayed relationships!(END SPOILER) My vote is 7.5. It would have been 8, but I took off half a point for Mr. Perry's precision grooming. He has a gigantic face and in the close-ups, the head and facial hair seem strange (I guess that is why they tell grade schoolers never to get a haircut just before school picture day. Both of the female love interests are extraordinarily beautiful and charming actresses, but it was uncomfortable trying to wrap my mind around a reason they were attracted to Mr. Deeds - money or not. And, what? -- The last scene on the plane was supposed to be a shocker??! Well...do I really need to say it? No. I don't think that I do. Good Job. But you can do better Mr. Perry. I know you will. J
Huo zhe (1994)
To live is 'too live'
Really a great story, movie, and history lesson with its own spoonful of sugar all rolled up in one thought provoking and oft times heart wrenching film. It is a journey through time with stops at irresponsibility, estrangement, repentance, reconciliation, redemption, adaptation, loss, loyalty, longevity, comedy, and love. Its final destination? Hope. What a trip! Slow at times, inexplicable at others, but never losing the attention (not even losing my WIFE's attention who will be the first to snooze if she's not into it, and boy was she into it!) Even my (now) 15 year old daughter loved it. But then, she usually likes the same ones I like. Hope you like it too. 10 lines now?:)
