Good Grief (IV) (2023)

Love it! Great Job,, Dan!

[10/10 · 6 January 2024]

We found this movie to be tremendously enjoyable although

Dan Levy is a very funny guy, although, this is not a comedy, but it's not without its comedic moments and very well written script that keeps you in stitches.

The film really makes you think. I am in a gay relationship, and I could not imagine losing my partner, but this films shows you what it might be like... If you lived in Europe, or anywhere.

The film is very well executed, and funnier than I expected. Despite, it's dark tone, I t's real life, people. I can't understand why you wouldn't like this film. Check it out and tell me if I'm wrong. Enjoy the pic!

Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles (2013 TV Special)

Do Better... Not Miraculous

[6/10 · 27 May 2023]

Sarah is a tremendous, quick witted comedian. Has been a long time.

In this special, though, I thought she could've done better with the content. Of course she's got the delivery down.

Lots of offensive/divisive/sensitive/controversial bits that just didn't ring as belly laughs. I hate to be THAT guy, about comedians.

Just saying, Sarah's good! If she would slightly make the content a little less uncomfortable, and 6's ratings jump to 9.9's overnight. She's way talented to pull that off and be THE top rated comedian.

I won't miss her next special, "Someone You Love," on 'max,' formerly HBO.

Being Flynn (2012)

A Good Hard To Watch!

[7/10 · 5 August 2022]

This film focused on a very real and very dark alley of American life today.

The subject matter is sometimes hard to take, but it is authentic. I know.

Initially, I was surprised to see De Niro had taken this role, but this is one of the best things I've seen him do!

There's also numerous very poignant scenes that are worth the price of admission.

Assassination Nation (2018)

GOOF:

[8/10 · 28 July 2022]

When Marty is getting waterboarded, the "duct tape" around his chest isn't sticking to his skin.

Otherwise, seems a pretty good take on some sad parts of this nation today.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

Not Done Yet, But...

[7/10 · 17 April 2022]

I'm really admiring the bold wide-angle shots! Very creative & original. Great work! Quite intriguing.

Again, loving the photography open views & results.

Let Him Go (2020)

Powerful!

[8/10 · 20 December 2021]

The dialogue is thin, but powerful.

Emotional story - very!

Sound editing was noticeably perfect...ironically.

Worth your (powerful) time to enjoy a good one!

A Reunion (2014)

TUCUMCARL?

[6/10 · 10 July 2020]

Why was Tucumcari (NM), titled as "TUCUMCARL"? WTF?! How could no one catch this?! Acting was decent, scenery good, although it seemed they weren't putting man miles each day. The story never seemed to take off. No "pop" the entire movie.
