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.

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.

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.”

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.

My Comments: 03-24-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, NS, ASB, CB). Watched on Netflix. Good science fiction, but a bit dated, and quite a few morality issues. Enjoyment rating: 3 star.

My Comments: √ Watched it many times, including on 03-19-2023 at our place in Niagara, and again on 05-04-2024, (PS, HS). One of our all time favorite classics (in our top 3 or 4); and perhaps in the TOP TWO of Fred and Ginger movies. A cute musical romance in that 1930’s style. A well-crafted classic that just feels right from one end to the other. The misunderstanding of who Fred’s character really is brings about a lot of entertainment. Fred and Ginger have amazing chemistry in this film and their dancing together is sublime. Enjoyment rating: 4.5 star.
