Revisited after eight years, this movie has not lost a beat. A rarity to have two such gifted artists together as J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller, performing with such force. They are a credit to the jazz industry and demonstrate the height that acting can achieve with sound direction. Wonderful to see that both actors are doing so well in 2022.

Good to see Bill Murray at his nonchalant best. Bill makes a movie and he certainly made this one. The rating of 2.5 seems to overlook the deliberate lightness of this film, released in a time when we are surrounded by chaos and lack of love for each other. I congratulate Sofia on an appealingly simple movie.

A blast from the past. Was a good game and still is. Hard work will get you to about level 15, then it is really hard. Oh, and it's also addictive..

Saw it last night and am astounded by Rami Malek's acting, considering the multitude of differences from the person he portrays. Freddy Mercury, Brian May and the other group members were atypical of the travelling band life - sex, drugs, rock 'n roll - so easy with unlimited wealth and so difficult to break away from. We see trust given by Freddy in a journey on his own in the US, only to have that trust destroyed by his male lover, who more or less ruined his life. Rami captured the history so well. Brad Cooper was marvellous in A Star is Born, but for this portrayal I would give Rami the golden statue.
