The Chosen (2017)
A Real Life View of Jesus and His gathering of the 12
The Chosen is beyond remarkable! It captures the humanity, the mystique, the innocence of the timeless story of Jesus' early days of ministry in a way I had never imagined possible. Have never more sincerely hoped and desired that absolutely EVERY person would watch this amazing series, and share them with others!
6 Underground (2019)
Deserves a sequel...or 2....or.3...or
Too violent for me, so expected to dislike this film from quite early in the action....BUT....as only Michael Bay seems able, the direction crafted these well cast professionals quickly into characters one cares about, and, eventually, a team that connects...both with one another and with the viewer. The violence somehow seems to pale in comparison to the raw look at the ugliest side of human nature against which these warriors are committed to stand, and the purpose behind the seemingly endless bloodshed. I truly hope they make a franchise of this and give us a few more.
Good Omens (2019)
Brilliant doesn't begin to cover it!!!
Not having read the book prior to seeing the miniseries, I was delighted at the diversity of the storyline and laughed out loud at the inside jokes (to those of us steeped in the biblical references) whether classic or skewed. The Easter eggs were also phenomenally well done!
I cannot imagine anyone else playing in the lead roles..... both Tennant and Sheen were superb..... and the casting overall was inspired. Above all, I shall relish what (for me at least) was the perfect ending, always! ( Now, I suppose I shall have to read the book, and expect to enjoy it equally well!)
A Little Romance (1979)
Innocence personified
There are no words to express the real beauty of this movie, nor the depth of its import. There are those who have lived in such innocence and courage as the children in this movie, but in this new millennium such would be as rare as purity itself. After 106 minutes of near flawless value, it makes one wonder what has happened to wonder and gentleness; it seems they have journeyed far away, taking with them respect and graciousness. Such a treasure as this film makes one long for a time of civility and trust. Diane Lane had an auspicious beginning here, though too many of her later films lacked the substance of this one. Sally Kellerman does what she does best, and Arthur Hill seems the father of whom all daughters dream. By all means, rent this film and share the adventure!
