Overcomer (2019)
I laughed... I cried... I enjoyed
As far as movies go this will probably not get any Oscar nominations but it is nice to see a movie that tells a compelling story about hope, redemption and doing the right thing even when you don't feel like it. Yes, every plot line is totally predictable but is that so bad? It is also fun to see the results of what is apparently a Kendrick family project. It has a strong Christian evangelistic message that focuses on forgiveness. Doesn't our society (me included!) need a lot more of that!!!
Green Book (2018)
How do you say "Oscar contender" inItalian?
This a great twist on the classic buddy movie. Wife and I LOVED this film. Ali and Mortensen were fantastic. The music was a real treat as were the eccentric characters and masterful dialogue. We see a lot of movies and this is the best to come along in years. See for yourself!
Sully (2016)
Can't explain it but this movie really works!
I don't know if it is expert directing, impeccable acting, clever editing, great casting, amazing production, fantastic storyline, or what. All I can say is that this movie really works. There are obviously no mysteries going into this movie. Everybody knows the basic story. The movie even reveals that very early on. What surprised me is how emotionally engaging this film was from stem to stern. At one point my wife clutches my hand which validated the emotions and tension I was feeling at the time. We see a lot of movies (nothing loaded with f-bombs or gore) and this is the best we've seen in a LONG time. Thanks to Eastwood, Hanks and the rest of the pros involved in this endeavor.
