I Care a Lot 2020
Netflix..Rosamond Pike and Peter Dinklage, what awful, terrible, reprehensible villains for a movie. They did a beautiful job making you hope they get theirs in the end and I will avoid any spoilers at this point. This was a scary story since I am sure there are blood suckers out there just like the one Rosamond portrayed and the system that feeds it. A really entertaining movie that keeps your interest till the very end. Not sure the lesbian angle…

The Life Ahead 2020
Netflix,..A tender, emotional and moving film with a good message. Nothing real unexpected in the story or the dialogue but totally engrossing.

Sophia is proof that time dies not slow down for anyone but you can age gracefully and beautifully.

Judas and the Black Messiah 2021
HBOMax..A well written, well acted and well directed movie. It is really pretty historically accurate, including the dialogue when Hampton was fatally shot.

The BPP did many good and valuable things for the black community and the movie…

Panfilov's 28 Men 2016
Amazon Prime .This is a well done story based on actual events. It seems the Europeans are quite good at WWll movies. The battle scenes are really well done and the dialogue is actually very good, not at all corny or hokey. Would have preferred if it was done with closed captioning rather than dubbed in English for a more realistic feel. Take the time to watch it if you are a history/war buff.
