A Year in Music (2019)
Camera angles are creepy.
I like remembering who was big in what year, but some artists get overlooked while more time is spent with others. The camera angles are so creepy, when the camera goes off to the side and the hosts are still looking forward, I have to turn away, that's how creepy it is. Then they pan out when back in front of them. Why?
Bring the Funny (2019)
So painful to watch.
I love the 2 comedians who at times they seem bored but give rave reviews to the acts. I watched both episodes and it has the worst talent. Maybe 2 out of the whole show are good and the best act (a woman comic) in the 2nd show didn't qualify to go on. Some acts are cut so short we don't even know what they were. Chrissy Tiegan is just eye candy. She has no place there.
Rocketman (2019)
More than what I expected.
I love the way the story was told by going back and forth in time, while mixing in his most famous songs. Taron Egerton was amazing. At times it was hard to believe it wasn't Elton singing. At certain angles, he's also a dead ringer in looks too. I grew up with Elton John's music and saw one concert in the 70's. He's a true showman and it was accurately portrayed.
First Man (2018)
I expected more.
The effects and visualization were excellent, but I expected more sitting on the edge of my seat like I did for Tom Hanks Apollo 13. I know the movie was about Armstrong, but it was ALL about him. If I didn't know about the mission, I might have missed that Buzz was the 2nd one with him. There were only 2 glimpses of a 3rd astronaut and I don't remember hearing of a 3rd before. I made that remark to the person watching with me at the end of the movie and she completely missed that. It had me wondering if I actually saw it so I had to Google it. The movie was almost 2 1/2 hrs and some scenes moved so fast it seemed like it was edited for TV.
Youth (2015)
I did not enjoy this movie
Another reviewer said either you love it or don't get it. I found it boring, confusing at times and much too long. It says it's a comedy / drama. I saw no comedy at all. It was hard to figure out at times what was imagined and what was real. I did not understand why/how some of the characters were in it either. I first thought the ending was imagined because he was hell bent on not performing for the Queen. It was one of those movies with good reviews that I kept watching, hoping it would get better, but it didn't.
The Trial of Ratko Mladic (2018)
What a shocker!
I was an adult in my 30's when this happened and I don't recall ever hearing about any of this. This guy was as bad as Hitler. A very amazing documentary and I;m sure an eye opener for many of us. It lost 2 stars on editing. I have no idea why in all these years when there's text put on screen that they don't put a black backgournd on it. Many times the white text was on a white background and it was impossible to read it and therefore lost some of the dialogue.
