    Our Review: Watched it on 11-12-2023 with HS, ASB, and CB in Burlington. It’s a Netflix film. “Forgotten Love” (Polish: Znachor, meaning “The Quack”) is a 2023 Polish film directed by Michał Gazda. It is an adaptation of the novel Znachor by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz. It has received very positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. It was a top film in 59 countries the first week it came out. A romantic drama, the film explores themes of love, loss, and the power of memories. If you’re a fan of foreign films, you’ll love this one! The story and acting are excellent. The main characters suffer incredible losses, yet a happy and emotionally moving ending comes to prevail. It’s an incredibly powerful film! Enjoyment rating: 4.5 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a couple of scenes that portray couples starting to get intimate, but in truth, they are kept in their place so to speak. There is also great loss throughout the first 3/4 of the film, and some graphic scenes of medical procedures. On morality levels, this is a fairly average film. Adults, view it at your discretion and we hope these comments help you decide. Possibly not suitable for children or young teens. Clean Rating: 3.

    TMDB: A once-respected surgeon who’s lost his family and his memory gets a chance at redemption when he reconnects with someone from his forgotten past.

    Genre: Western, Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 69%

    Our Review: Watched it on 11-03-2023 with HS at our place in Niagara. Rented it on Amazon Prime. This is a genuine Western but also a genuine comedy. Excellent cinematography, beautiful scenery, excellent acting by Gibson, Foster, and Garner. It’s an interesting story, with lots of action. The movie tracks the adventures of the trio making their way to a major poker tournament and pays considerable attention to the game itself. This riverboat gambling section is exciting and intense. Fantastic twists near the end. The music is scored by Randy Newman and Vilmos Zsigmond does the photography. Based on the 1950s television series of the same name. The main character on TV was played by Garner. Here Gibson plays Maverick, and Garner has a huge supporting role. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a few expletives throughout the movie. Of course the whole premise of the movie is of the leading characters “taking people for their money” through petty theft, deception and through card playing. An objectionable scene occurs where the main characters engage in a tryst on the riverboat. Thankfully this is all behind a large bed, and nothing objectionable is actually seen. On morality levels, this is perhaps just below that of an average film. Adults, view it at your discretion and we hope these comments help you decide. Not suitable for children or young teens. Clean Rating: 3.

    TMDB: Maverick is a gambler who would rather con someone than fight them, and needs an additional three thousand dollars in order to enter a winner-takes-all poker game that begins in a few days, so he joins forces with a woman gambler with a marvellous southern accent, and the two try and enter the game.

    Genre: Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 68%

    Our Comments: 10-15-2023 with HS and SF (who owns it on DVD), in the Chicago suburbs. This is a well-written and well executed “screwball comedy” by Neil Simon. If you watch it, you have to be in the mood for irritating and constant setbacks at every turn. One mishap after another assails the poor couple on a business trip to New York! With this proviso out of the way, we were in a good mood that night and found it to be very funny and witty. The movie (same exact title) was remade in 1999, starring Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star

    Clean Comments: There are no real issues here from a clean standpoint. Other than a few mild expletives, this movie has no morally objectionable content. There are a few unsavory characters (they get robbed twice), but they’re simply a part of the adventure of mishaps.

    TMDB: George & Gwen Kellerman make a trip to New York, where George is going to start a new job, it turns out to be a trip [where nothing goes according to plan].

  • Two Weeks Notice

    Two Weeks Notice

    2002, 1h 41m


    Genre: Comedy, Romance
    TMDB Rating: 64%

    Our Comments: 10-10-2023 with HS, in Niagara. Rented it on Amazon. Very funny and enjoyable, with a believable story about a self-centered, womanizing, shallow multi-millionaire developer and an activist lawyer who winds up working for him through an interesting twist. There are memorably funny/witty lines in this movie. It’s a good date night movie to watch at home by mature viewers. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star

    Clean Comments: Given that the leading man is a shallow womanizer, you can surmise that there will be sexual references throughout the movie. There is a strip-chess scene that has a couple winding up in their underwear, and references to casual sex. But these things are not central to the movie. It stands on its own outside of these themes. This movie is not for kids or impressionable teens. But it is still basically an “average” movie from a morality standpoint. Two Weeks Notice would be a discretionary choice for mature viewers. Clean Rating: 3 (3 = Average for a Mainstream Film (several moral* issues; watch at your discretion).

    TMDB: “Dedicated environmental lawyer Lucy Kelson goes to work for billionaire George Wade as part of a deal to preserve a community center. Indecisive and weak-willed George grows dependent on Lucy’s guidance on everything from legal matters to clothing. Exasperated, Lucy gives notice and picks Harvard graduate June Carter as her replacement. As Lucy’s time at the firm nears an end, she grows jealous of June and has second thoughts about leaving George.”

  • Meet Me in St. Louis

    Meet Me in St. Louis

    1944, 1h 53m


    Genre: Classics, Drama
    TMDB Rating: 70%

    Our Comments: √ 10-05-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). The checkmark means we own it. This is a fine classic film that presents a look into 1903/1904 St. Louis family life leading up to the World’s Fair. It’s a pretty nice classic but could have been better crafted. In its slight awkwardness, it lacks some of the well rounded, easy-to-watch feel of the very best classics of the 30’s to early 60’s. And why put in that scene about the town kids at Halloween running amuck? At any rate, it’s still quite a nice film and may be worth it if you’re in the mood for a 40’s classic. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star.

    TMDB: “The life of a St. Louis family in the year before the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair.”
