Fostering a new renaissance through creativity, authenticity, spirituality, and art
I had never seen this classic five star movie before. It is a very well done movie about two rookie Washington Post reporters (played by Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford) doing investigative reporting on the Watergate break in.
– I haven’t seen this classic, five star film in decades and thoroughly enjoyed seeing it again. “A man is never a failure if he has friends,” is an interesting moral. He may never have gotten off and done all the grand things he imagined, but he fulfilled his responsibilities and made a difference to … Read more
I took a friend’s recommendation that every husband and father should see this movie, and went to see it with James. I am glad I did. I would give this movie five stars, not for its B rated cinematography, but for bringing home a strong message of the importance of fathers having good relationships with … Read more
Two years ago, before most people had ever heard of it, I blogged about the book The Help. So I haven’t read it recently, but I loved the new movie rendition and have very few complaints to lodge against it. I can’t speak to what it is like to see this movie without having read … Read more
This evening I saw the documentary Buck, which won the Sundance film festival this year. It is about the real life horse whisperer that the movie with Robert Redford by that name was modeled after. This is about parenting as much as horses, leading with respect and love, and never anger. Gently let expectations be … Read more
I loved this movie and give it a surprising five stars. We loved the book and this movie is entirely different than the book, but it was great none-the-less. Although often implausible (where did all that water go that gushed out of the bathroom, with the apartment tidy soon after, the envelope untouched, and the … Read more
Not usually a big Woody Allen fan, I loved this new movie written and directed by him. It is about a Hollywood hack writer who dreams of being a great novelist writing in Paris, but his fiance has other ideas. Through the convenient device of an antique Bentley as the clock strikes midnight, he goes … Read more
Several of you blog readers have been after me to see this movie and I finally did. You are right, I give it five stars. We do not need to wait to write our own bucket lists and get going on the living involved in checking them off. Also, the wisdom here of being sure … Read more
It feels like an end of an era. It has taken my husband and I, together with our oldest two teenagers, three years to get through the complete seven season series of this TV show on DVD, checked out from our library. We absolutely loved it and are sorry it is over. We started it … Read more
I encourage everyone to see this important documentary. I thought it was well done and give it five stars.
I really enjoyed this movie set in India about a child struggling with dyslexia and the art teacher who helped him overcome it with understanding, kindness, and compassion. Regardless of it’s slow pace, the subtitles, and long song interludes, I give it five stars. I was very touched by both what the boy went through … Read more
I can’t decide if this movie is four or five stars. It is about Queen Elizabeth’s father King George VI who unexpectedly rose to the throne when his brother skipped off to marry an American divorce, Wallis Simpson. Problem was, he had a bad stutter, and especially with the advent of radio along with impending … Read more
I first heard of this film when Sandra Bullock won the Academy award for it over Meryl Streep playing Julia Child. That caught my attention. I thought at the time they must have made a wrong call. Not much of a football fan, I hadn’t seen this when it came out. But the Academy award … Read more
I really enjoyed this five star movie. For those, like me, interested in both education and poetry, it is particularly engaging.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this Steven Spielberg film; we award it five stars. It has it all. It is engrossing, funny, serious, entertaining, unnerving,
I really liked this movie and give it five stars. Now, I know there are some among you that will complain about that saying, it is only a four star movie.
