    My Comments: 04-08-2023 at our place (rented on Amazon) in Niagara with NS. Quite abstract, but we stuck with it. The story is a message for us today. Excellent acting and characters. Bale is amazing. 3.5 star.

    TMBB: “In the 1930s, three friends—a doctor, a nurse, and an attorney—witness a murder, become suspects themselves and uncover one of the most outrageous plots in American history.”

    My Comments: √ 04-05-2023 at our place in Niagara with NS. The original films were a trilogy set, but now this is a fourth installment, and it returns more or less to the original storyline. Worthy of the series mostly, but the previous installment was better. Fantastic chase scene. 3.5 star.

    TMDB: “The most dangerous former operative of the CIA is drawn out of hiding to uncover hidden truths about his past.”

    Casablanca

    1943, 1h 42m


    Genre: Classics, Drama
    TMDB Rating: 82%

    My Comments: √ 03-31-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). A masterpiece. Not because it’s iconic, which it is. But because it’s that good. Impeccably interwoven story of war, the plight/fight for freedom, romance, heartbreak, and fate.

    TMDB: “In Casablanca, Morocco in December 1941, a cynical American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications.”

    Michael Curtiz Director

    √ 03-30-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). A bit choppy and awkward, but it still prevails as an iconic flick. Grant came out of retirement for this, and Kelly met Prince Rainier while filming it. Great South Of France scenery!

  • Spider-man (2002) – W2

    Second watching. Main post is here.


    Genre: Action, Science Fiction

    My Comments: √ 03-26-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, NS). The three of us wanted to watch through the entire Spiderman series while NS is in town. We only got to the first two this Spring of 2023. It was fun. This movie is excellent in many ways. Complex and interesting story, well made production. Green Goblin villain a bit too intense for me. 3.5 star. Original review here.
