AT THE MOVIES

I'm afraid this is going to be a long one so I will be brief in my opinions. I have movies going from November 4th until January 27th. 

First up is Motherless Brooklyn. We thought this movie was very good. It's a long one! 

"In 1950s New York, a lonely private detective afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend."

Next up is Last Christmas. This was a cute story with a twist. We both enjoyed it! 

"Kate is a young woman subscribed to bad decisions. Working as an elf in a year round Christmas store is not good for the wannabe singer. However, she meets Tom there. Her life takes a new turn. For Kate, it seems too good to be true."

I saw Frozen II. Loved it and will buy it! They did a great job again.

"Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven leave Arendelle to travel to an ancient, autumn-bound forest of an enchanted land. They set out to find the origin of Elsa's powers in order to save their kingdom."

Then I went to see A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. It was excellent. I loved it. I'm a sucker for "based on a true story."

"Based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod."

Next up was Terminator: Dark Fate. We enjoyed this one! If you are a Terminator fan you will enjoy it too. 

"An augmented human and Sarah Connor must stop an advanced liquid Terminator, from hunting down a young girl, whose fate is critical to the human race."

Then we went to see Charlie's Angel's. I have to say we enjoyed it a lot. Loved the cast! 

"When a young systems engineer blows the whistle on a dangerous technology, Charlie's Angels are called into action, putting their lives on the line to protect us all."

Midway is the next one we saw. Excellent war movie. Mark was very impressed because it showed him what his father did in the war. Not in the Battle of Midway but he was a dive bomber. 

"The story of the Battle of Midway, told by the leaders and the sailors who fought it."

We saw Uncut Gems which was a very good movie. Not easy to watch but we are glad we saw it. Unlike any other Adam Sandler movies. 

"A charismatic New York City jeweler always on the lookout for the next big score makes a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. Howard must perform a precarious high-wire act, balancing business, family, and encroaching adversaries on all sides in his relentless pursuit of the ultimate win."

Up next is 1917. This movie was excellent. It was shot in something called continuous shot. Click to watch it. I do believe this movie is worthy of the Academy Award for Best Picture. 

"April 6th 1917. As a regiment assembles to wage war deep in enemy territory, two soldiers are assigned to race against time and deliver a message, that will stop 1,600 men, from walking straight into a deadly trap."

Then I went to see Little Women. I've never read the book or have seen the other Little Women movies. I liked it and would like to see it again. It jumps around a lot which can be confusing. Of course I loved the actors and that always takes me to the movies to see them. I just might have to read the book. 

"Jo March reflects back and forth on her life, telling the beloved story of the March sisters - four young women each determined to live life on their own terms."

The Academy Awards are on Sunday night February 9th. You know I will be watching them!!!

We also watched The Irishman on Netflix which was very good but very long so it was nice watching it at home. Also we saw Marriage Story on Netflix which we really liked. Great dialogue movie. Both are up for Academy Awards.
