Movie Theatre & Streaming Reviews Feb 2023 Part 1



1) "Go For Brady"--1 hour & 38 minutes--in theatres--Synopsis: based on the true story of a group of friends who made it their lifelong mission to go to the Super Bowl and meet Tom Brady--that and the fact that the friends are Jane Fonda, Lilly Tomlin, Rita Moreno and Sally Field are all that you need to know--sit back and watch the pros do their job--it is fun, silly, ridiculous, even vulnerable at times and these 4 pros elevate the material for you to sit back and have a good time!

2) "Descendant"--Netflix--Documantary--1 hour & 49 minutes--Synopsis: Descendants of the enslaved Africans on an illegal ship that arrived in Alabama in 1860 seeks justice and healing when the remains of the craft are discovered--an interesting guide to a world most of us don't know and our government doesn't think we should.

3) "As I Am"--Prime Amazon--movie--1 hour & 1 minute--Synopsis: a young man running from the truth discoveries a side of him that surprises him--takes place in Scottsdale, Arizona--there is a hint of what is to come but it still took me by surprise--short, moving and effective film.

4) "I Am Thinking Of Ending Things"--Netflix--movie--2 hours & 14 minutes--Synopsis: nothing is as it seems when a woman experiences misgivings about her new boyfriend joining him on a trip to meet his parents--someday I might figure out what this movie is about but I don't have the time nor do I care!

5) "Shotgun Wedding"--Prime Amazon--movie--1 hour & 41 minutes--Synopsis: Darcy & Tom gather their families for a destination wedding but the entire party is taken hostage--they must save their loved ones before they kill each other--it's Jennifer Lopez showing off her body, her humor, her game as an actress--it is fun, quick moving, corny, impossible rom-com worth seeing just to relax and smile.

6) "Argentina 1985"--Prime Amazon--Documentary--2 hours & 21 minutes--Synopsis: inspired by a legal team of unsung heroes in the David vs. Goliath battle to prosecute Argentina's bloodiest military dictatorship--OSCAR NOMINATED FOR BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM--GOLDEN GLOBE WINNER--A MUST SEE!

7) "Your Place or Mine"--Netflix--movie--1 hour & 51 minutes--Synopsis: best friends, and complete opposites, for 20 years swap homes for a week and then--not a bad rom/com but you have seen it a 100 times and you can skip this.

8) "A Private Affair"--Prime Amazon--season 1--8 episodes--6 hours & 22 minutes-Synopsis: a bold upper-class girl with the soul of a detective decides to trap the killer who has been terrorizing the city--A VERY FUN, FUNNY, VERY BRITISH DETECTIVE SERIES--THRILLS, CHASES, LOVE, BRIGHT RED CARS THAT DON'T GET DIRTY--ENJOY

9) "Memories of a Teenager"--Netflix--Argentina film-1 hour & 37 minutes--Synopsis: to cope with a friend's death a teen blogs about his daily life but falls further into crisis--based on a true story--no matter where they live teens don't have it easy and this may help you understand why they commit suicide---or not.

10) "Stutz"--Netflix--Documentary--1 hour & 36 minutes--Synopsis: in candid conversations actor Jonah Hill, lead by his psychiatrist Phil Stutz, explores his early life experiences through unique visual models of therapy--one glaring error was bringing the mother to the set--THIS IS A FILM FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH THERAPY OR ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN THERAPY ITSELF AND HOW IT WORKS!

11) "Class"--Netflix--season 1 series--8 episodes--7 hours & 11 minutes--Synopsis: 3 poor students attend an exclusive high school-- based on another series "Elite" which is much better.

12) "Funny Boy"--Netflix--Siri Lanka movie--1 hour & 49 minutes--Synopsis: a student must navigate issues of sexual identity and family amid the social turmoil of the 1970s & 1980s--class versus class, sex versus sex, countryman against countryman killing each other, killing friends--NOT EASY TOO WATCH!

13) "Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided To Go For It"--Netflix--Documentary--1 hour & 30 minutes--Synopsis: the title tells it all and shows how she went for it and got it--70 plus years in show biz and winner of all kinds of awards and, in many cases, 'the first' to do so--IT IS A JOY TO WATCH!

14) "When You Finish Saving The World"--movie theatres--1 hour & 28 minutes--Synopsis: Evelyn and her oblivious son Ziggy seek replacements for each other--each family member is too interested in themselves to be interested in each other-- Julianne Moore excellent as always, Finn Wolfhand as the son is annoying as the film is.

15) "You"--Netflix--series--season 4--part 1--4 episodes--4 hours (part 2 starts March 9)--Synopsis: a dangerously charming intense young man goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by--originally seen on Lifetime channel it has now transferred to streaming of Netflix--I've watched it from the beginning and really like it--this new season seems to have taken a sharp change--you can start by watching this season or start with the first.

16) "From Zero To I Love You"--Prime Amazon--movie--1 hour & 46 minutes--Synopsis: a gay man, whose fear of intimacy leads him to continuously fall for married men, meets a closeted married man forcing both men to confront what they really want--touching on many topics THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAY THEMED MOVIES I HAVE SEEN.

17) "Those People"--Prime Amazon--movie--1 hour & 29 minutes--Synopsis: on Manhattan's upper east side a young painter finds the man of his dreams in an older pianist from across the globe--a good look at what love and friendship really is--it is basically young adults approaching manhood--I REALLY LIKED IT!
