First of all, anything with Joaquin Phoenix in it, I'm watching. I find him to be a fascinating actor who embodies his characters, and lives them. I went into this film not reading anything about it. For about the first third of the film, it was very confusing to me. Up until they started traveling together, then all the pieces started falling in place. I have to admit that at this point, Scientology came to mind. But as the movie progressed, it's more about Freddie, the Phoenix character, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Master, another great actor. These two parts are probably the deepest, most emotional parts I believe I've ever seen played together. You draw your own conclusion at the end of who The Master truly is. Amy Adams plays a great part as Hoffman's wife. This is one of few movies I sat through for the entire film. You won't regret witnessing the exquisite acting of these two brilliant actors.

I was debating on watching this film based on some of the reviews. I just finished watching and was pleasantly pleased. Growing up in Cincinnati, and my grandparents living in Kentucky, I could relate to much of the mindset and issues surrounding family life. Great performances by Glenn Close and Amy Adams. "It's not where you come from, but where you're headed" is the message I take away. Never give up.

Some of the programming was entertaining. But I didn't care for the last Season at all. Not your typical Steven Spielberg. I still don't understand why US is in the title.

Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper were both spectacular! A warm, touching, emotional story, so true to life. Fame, love, addiction, forgiveness, real life emotions that hit close to home for many. Such overwhelming, powerful emotion from both actors. One of the best movies I've seen in a very long time.
