Best Sound Mixing Oscar Nominees 2019
A Star Is Born
(3.5 Stars) In yet another remake, Lady Gaga shows she can act better than Bradley Cooper can sing. Its OK if you’re into sappy romances.
Black Panther
(4 Stars) A visually and aurally stunning action movie with a tightly constructed plot line that you can actually follow.
Bohemian Rhapsody
(4.5 Stars) Rami Malek delivers a terrific performance as Freddie Mercury in an excellent film I liked better than the professional critics.
First Man
(3 Stars) Another tale of Neil Armstrong’s life and walk on the moon. Won the Visual Effects Oscar.
Roma
(5 Stars) Probably the best movie of the year and a great example of excellence in all dimensions. A must-see film.
Ad Astra
(3.5 Stars) Visually stunning and terrific sound. But not up to Kubrick standards!
Ford v Ferrari
(4 Stars) Rousing entertainment placing the viewer right behind the wheel at 200 mph.
Joker
(4.5 Stars) Difficult to watch, especially right now. But perhaps necessary.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
(3.5 Stars) A movie Of Hollywood, By Hollywood, and, most importantly, FOR Hollywood!
