What to do when you are at home sick with a stomach bug? Netflix to the rescue. I found this movie called Victoria. It is about a girl from Spain who doesn’t speak any German, and finds herself working at a cafe in Berlin. The most amazing thing about this film is that it was shot in one continuous take. It starts off in a local club at around 4:00 am and moves on from there. The plot is a little out there, but for the filming technique alone, I recommend giving this one a try.
The Marvel franchise shows no signs of slowing down. The movies keep getting better and better. Every new release is a must see at the theater, or at the IMAX if you have one where you live.
Since it rained so much in Austin today, I retreated to the IMAX theater. The Jungle Book was playing and it was a pleasant surprise. You have to wonder, though, is there such a thing as too much CGI in a film even if it is done really well?
Suspenseful. How far should the US and UK go to defeat terrorism on the African Continent?
“Never tell a soldier that he does not know the cost of war.”
Superman and Lois Lane were pretty cool.
Batman was badass.
Wonder Woman stole the show.
Freaky…
As I am writing this, I am thinking back and trying to find some value in this film. I read so many reviews, and I do not understand why the critics liked it so much.
Not the best Marvel movie
This film is an oddly brilliant storytelling about a few groups of professional investors who predicted the fall of the financial packages that were wrapped around a very risky mortgage market. It provides some very good insights into the banking industry and the pain that was felt by the world as markets tumbled.
I downloaded the FOX NOW app so I could watch Grease Live. It was most awesome. My favorites were Julianne Hough as Sandy, and Vanessa Hudgens as Rizzo. If you are a fan of the original Grease, you will probably enjoy this version. Check it out when you have the chance, or at least watch some of the clips on YouTube.
