Nightbitch is intense and emotional. If people don't like it, probably it's because they lack the ability to be empathic. Her feelings and experiences are palpable. Amy Adams's performance is Oscar material. Wonderful.

I actually really enjoyed this movie. It was unique among others I have seen in the past ten years. The acting and special effects were quite good. I was glad to see the final scene in which the castaways reshaped the ship for their own needs. It was just a cool movie. Made some very good points about loneliness, forgiveness, and doing the right thing. Notwithstanding, Jennifer Lawrence is good at her job.

I have read all the Outlander books. Like everyone else, I am anxiously awaiting the next book's publishing. The TV series is just excellent. If you really want to experience the books in full crazy Scottish splendor, you should listen to the audiobooks performed by Davina Porter. Oh by gosh...she can really do that Scots accent. Loved it.

I read what others thought of this for one reason: trying to understand it while not having to watch it again. Cate Blanchett has long been one of my favorite actors. She melts into roles like butter on hot bread. In this role, she began constructing the character for us; her talent, intellect, knowledge, life, family. Then she goes about deconstructing it all. As each piece falls away, Lydia does not even appear to try to stop what she is doing to cause it even in light of the mental decompensation she experiences. Essentially, it's a study of narcissistic predatory behavior. There is no concern for the impact of such behavior on the targets of that behavior. Lydia's humanity is missing. I was struck by the statement, "I am Petra's father." Very telling, that, because of who she was talking to at the moment. This film was not for entertainment. It was way too uncomfortable for that. No, this film made a statement and illustrated a process. It was educational.

I was surprised at how touching and emotional this film was right from the beginning. Could there have been two more perfect actors cast as Nancy and Leo? No. Emma Thompson is her usual wonderful self...heightening the awkward and warming the hot parts a few degrees. I loved it.

The Unforgivable is one of those punch-in-the-gut films that turns and moves like a bread sack twisty tie. It shows us "us" and how we can't see past our own biases and needs. It shows us how we attribute qualities to others with only a fraction of the facts in play. It leaves us enlightened about love and suffering and desperation. Sandra Bullock gets no where near her usual beautiful in this film but gives the best performance I have seen from her.

Want to see a good ghost hunting show? Watch Kindred Spirits. They actually do the work.

Busy. Made me dizzy. Too much happening. Like the weather channel during hurricane season. What's with Dr. Strange's hair?

My goodness but what a grand film this was. Facial expression and body language are perfected, nuanced, warm and cool. All dialog is necessary and wow...what a nice change to hear no profanity. I don't speak French. It didn't matter. Days later, the scenes have stayed with me, especially the final one.

I enjoyed this little film. The two main characters were witty and charming and scary like they were supposed to be. I was sorta surprised by the plot twist but it was clear early on that something was twisty there. Both Dame Helen and Sir Ian made the roles their own...her smiling and seeming to be concerned for him and him being twitchy and so obviously antisocial. It was good fun.
