(4 Stars) No, Not Best Picture But a Satirical film with a not-so-funny message.

Promising Young Woman
1 Comment
(4.5 Stars) A terrific thriller that is also a romantic comedy and a social commentary. Fun in many ways, but with an important message.
Parasite
No Comments
(5 Stars) An exceptionally well crafted movie that moves you through multiple emotions all while exploring the complexities of social class.
Irishman

(4.5 Stars) In addition to what you expect, it shows that old folks still have huge creative talent. Still one of the best pictures of 2019.
Jojo Rabbit
No Comments
(3 Stars) Some good moments. But the movie doesn’t quite come together.
Ford v Ferrari
No Comments
(4 Stars) Rousing entertainment placing the viewer right behind the wheel at 200 mph.
Joker
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) Difficult to watch, especially right now. But perhaps necessary.
Vice
2 Comments
(3.5 Stars) Liberals will find humor and lots to support disliking Cheney. Conservatives, well, maybe you should avoid this one.
Green Book
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) Best Picture Winner and a compelling tale of two men, unlikely partners in a road-trip through the Deep South. One of the better movies of the year.
The Favourite
No Comments
(3 Stars) Although laced with fun and titillating moments throughout, the movie doesn’t deliver a totally coherent message.
Bohemian Rhapsody
No Comments
(4.5 Stars) Rami Malek delivers a terrific performance as Freddie Mercury in an excellent film I liked better than the professional critics.
BlacKkKlansman
No Comments
(5 Stars) One of my favorite movies of the year, a black man joins the KKK. Although it sounds like a comedy, this is a Spike Lee movie full of important messages.
