Little Women (2019)
Slips back & forth in time with very few cues
I'm an avid movie watcher. However for the life of me, I never knew when the movie was in the past or when it was in the current time. There were very few cues. One time line had the main characters hair cut short, but soon that clue was clouded also.
Fortunately, this didn't ruin the story for me and I still had a good time. I had never seen the other movie versions. I had never read the book.
Fantasy Island (2020)
Suspensful, & just the right amount of fantasy.
More of a suspensful thriller, than a horror movie. My spouse wouldn't watch it, as he is no a fan of horror flicks. I enjoyed all of it! It has just the right amount of plot twists, suspense, & no frustrating loose ends. It also has a bit of nostalgia thrown in.
The Snowman (2017)
Very Satisfying. I love movies that make me think.
Like most psychological thrillers, this movie requires some thought & intelligence to enjoy. I didn't find one single scene, conversation, or character to be out of place. This is not the type of movie to watch while under the influence. It is also not the kind of movie to watch if your home is full of distractions - such as kids, visitors, barking, or talking. If you want to watch Animal House, then do that instead!
I loved it, & every time that I watch it, I give it a new higher rating. I watch all complex movies with the captions on. This way, I am able to catch ALL of the dialog, even through strange accents. It helps with the fact that I'm already being hit with a foreign landscape, foreign city, & foreign terminology.
I don't know what the actual author of the book thinks about the movie, but that's what happens. You either write the screenplay yourself, or you take a chance on the end result being different.
I really really enjoy ending a movie with a few questions in my head. Then with each subsequent viewing, I catch more & more. This one does come together wonderfully and all is answered in time. Very Satisfying. Somewhat sexy. Very suspenseful. Very intellectual.
I admit the first time through, I would get all of the sad pale-faced young husbands mixed up. I couldn't keep all of the lonely young mothers separate either. Using the IMOB App to see the list of character names helps me with this. This movie is most enjoyable when you are ready & able to understand it. It was well worth the time for me. I'll watch it again sometime and probably update it from 9 stars to 10.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
Either love it or hate it, true
I loved it! I watch lots of serious movies, and this one I actually told my spouse to catch it, if he can. It is surprisingly good. He usually sleeps through everything so I don't bother to reccomend much to him. This is a must-see, in my opinion.
