Mudbound (2017)

This is one of those movies that has a heavy impact.. It’s so interesting and then catches you off guard and makes you weep. This one stays with you for awhile and is a Five Star Movie.

The Man in the Moon (1991)
laurie621 1 points 2 years ago.

The focus is on two sisters and a grieving young man in his late teens; the setting is in the 1950s on a farm. The sisters find themselves in a bad situation, brought about by the boy at no fault of his own. Oddly enough, in an unexpected way, the sisters for the same reason find themselves even closer than before.

Nobody (2021)

What a great little movie…and only cause Bob Odenkirk was the star…. No one else could have made it anything other than a run-of-the-mill,over-done action flick. Only Saul Goodman (he’ll always be Saul to me) could make this movie special.

Kid Galahad (1962)

Yes, you are right…he did do well in love me tender.. and I didn’t give him credit for Wild in the Country, Flaming Star and King Creole.. But to me they just didn’t quite suit him. But Kid Galahad, maybe because it was close to his real personality, was exceptional. I have heard many times he was shy humble and soft spoken and was not one to take offense. This was a sweet movie.

The Gilded Age (2022)

I just found this series and binged it. I like it and am looking forward to the next season and hopefully it will have a lot more of them to come.

It’s sad but life is a beauty contest in these days. Even if one IS thin and beautiful..it’s only for a season. So women obsess on their appearance trying to be gorgeous or more gorgeous than they already are…and hang on when it’s time for it to be over. Women use to take pride in other things and grow old gracefully enjoying being a mother and grandmother. sigh
That in itself would drive a big or unattractive person to live in a online fantasy world.. It seems to me they are seeking someone beautiful instead of looking for a mate that is attainable.. because they themselves cannot accept or be attracted to anything less than perfection.

Grey's Anatomy (2005)
laurie621 -1 points 4 years ago.

This is a dramatic series based on a group of surgical interns at Sloan Memorial Hospital in Queen City. The main focus is Meredith Grey’s professional, as well as private life and her disturbing childhood caused by her introverted father and her cold and distant, world-famous mother.

The Equalizer (2021)

What I like about it is she’s a real gal with normal weight for a middle aged woman. She seems relaxed and comfortable in her own skin. I’ll watch it just for that.

Only the Lonely (1991)

John Candy could do far more than tickle your funny bone. He was indeed a great actor. If you were a fan of his, you don’t want to pass this great little film by. Please watch it..you won’t regret it.

The Banger Sisters (2002)
laurie621 0 points 4 years ago*.

Suzette played by Goldie Hawn and Vinnie played by Susan Sarandon were best friends and famous groupies to the Heavy Rock Stars of the late 60’s and 70’s. Suzette unable to move on never married and was stuck trying to live as she did in the past and Vinnie living in denial that it had ever happened, becomes a people pleaser allowing her family to treat her badly. Having not seen each other for 20 years Suzette gets fired from her bartender job in LA, and travels to Phoenix to see Vinnie. Together they learn to deal with their past and move on with their lives.

A Map of the World (2000)
laurie621 0 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

This drama is based on two families that are almost destroyed because of a gossiping community that jumps to conclusions when tragedy strikes. This sadly opens a door for a vindictive mother to take revenge.. Sigourney Weaver plays her role with expertise and if you like tragic dramas, this one more than fits the bill. 5 stars-

Drop Dead Diva (2009)
laurie621 0 points 4 years ago*.

Deb, an insipid wannabe model dies in an accident and comes back in Jane’s body; Jane had taken a bullet for Jay Parker, her law-firms partner. The story-line is about Deb’s transition to being a “plus-sized” attorney from her former self, a gorgeous, self-absorbed young woman.

Nomadland (2021)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago.

It was ok like a lot of movies but I can’t see myself watching it again like I do many.
What happened to her was sad but unrealistic. If she had worked all her adult life and only gotten 500 a month.. she couldn’t have made more than 2 bucks an hour..Plus she could have had 80% of her husbands sos or which ever was the greatest.
We all go through hardships and will lose someone we love.. Can’t get through this life without griefs. But she had a sister that would help her…let her live with her and give her money. She had her sister and her family for a support system. Lucky duck if you ask me. And a great guy with a great family with money that wanted her.. but yet she chose to live in an old van.. So cool. Go live your life.. but that’s not sad to me when you have options… It was a choice.

And imo she could have ran a comb through her hair!

The Closer (2005)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago.

Quirky Brenda Johnson transfers from Atlanta to be in charge of the Major Crimes Division of the Los Angeles Police Department. She is focused and head strong in such an enduring way but still manages to quickly turn an entire division against her. They petition to get rid of her but she shakes it off…changes the way she deals with them instead of doing what most women would do with power and authority. She does her job in such a cute and passionate way that this show is a joy to watch.

The Good Wife (2009)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago*.

This is my all time favorite tv series. I’ve binged it three times and prolly will again and again over the years to come. All the actors are great..the stars husband, Peter Florrick (Chris Noth), was Carrie’s boyfriend “Big” in Sex and the City.. I always liked him..The show centers around Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies who played Carol Hathaway on ER) a long time house wife and mother who becomes publicly humiliated and forced back into the work force because of a ‘surprise surprise’ cheating husband who is the Cook County, Illinois State’s Attorney caught and jailed for the solicitation of a prostitute.

Passing (2021)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago*.

It could have been a good movie but it was mediocre. Not because of.. but neither of the main characters looked like white women and the one that passed was considered beautiful but to me was unattractive.

The Sopranos (1999)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago*.

The Sopranos is a great mafia series that well deserved all the raves and high ratings it got. I binged it a long time ago and plan to again. It’s a classic.

Suits (2011)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago*.

I cannot believe there are not hundreds of comments about this delightful series. Perhaps if it were crap with stupid laugh tracks it would be shown appreciation? Anywho.. I’ve spent many hours of enjoyable viewing (binged it twice).

The Break-Up (2006)
laurie621 0 points 4 years ago.

Vince Vaughn outdid himself in this delightful little film..and as always, Jennifer Aniston was impeccable. Loved it-

Desperate Housewives (2004)
laurie621 0 points 4 years ago.

Desperate Housewives is about a group of “upper middle class” suburban housewives who are best friends. One of them surprisingly and seems for no reason, commits suicide. This starts off the unveiling of the realities of what really goes on in the seemingly utopianistic lives of these women.

Alaskan Bush People: Book of Browntown (2017)
laurie621 0 points 4 years ago.

This show is actually into the eleventh season and I’ve watched them all. I don’t believe it’s anymore real than any other tv show, but I do find it very entertaining.
These intelligent people have the ability to thrive in the wild but yet will repeatedly allow Bears to destroy everything they have and be a constant threat to their lives just to avoid “bad” karma. lol Sorry, I don’t buy it..But it is fun to watch.
It’s like all shows in the manner that it makes you angry how they don’t do the obvious in order to avoid or get out of bad situations. But that’s what keeps us sitting on the edge of our seats and coming back for more.
I give it 5 stars and for a reality show that’s huge for me…happy watching!

Public Morals (2015)
laurie621 0 points 4 years ago.

This show has an authentic tone to it and is extremely well written and acted. I can hardly believe it was canceled after one season.

Mildred Pierce (2011)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago.

I enjoyed the first half and then it went south. It went choppily into a direction that I just didn’t care for.

Brockmire (2017)
laurie621 -3 points 4 years ago*.

Hank Azaria is hilarious and this could have been one of the greats, remembered by all tv viewers. The story line has never been done before and it’s done well.. I thought.. oh boy this is going to be a fun fun fun watch and settled in to enjoy.. But… because it’s so incredibly raunchy, over the top and the writing focuses on that part of it, so it suffers too much to get into.. I so much prefer shows without all the foul language and raw, in your face sex..but have learned to get past all that in order to enjoy shows that have good actors and good story lines.. what else can one do if you love movies and tv shows? Anywho.. imo, they went too far with this one and it ruined it. It could have been a great watch.

The Sandpiper (1965)
laurie621 -1 points 4 years ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Not a bad movie. Elizabeth Taylor is a generation before me, from my parents day…and I just never took an interest in the old black and whites. But finally I decided I would start watching some of them and to my surprise have found them quite good. Elizabeth Taylor was stellar; Sandpiper is a good watch with exceptions. I didn’t care for the punch line.. the ending that I thought would be interesting was a let down to me..but the rest of the movie I enjoyed.

Tammy (2014)
laurie621 -1 points 4 years ago.

Not my cup of tea…. I was looking forward to a good belly laugh and was greatly disappointed. To me it deserves even a lower rating than given by the IMDb users.
Sorry Tammy lovers, but I give it TWO THUMBS DOWN.

MINDHUNTER (2017)
ShadowSide 1 points 4 years ago.

There were plenty of serial killers around before the 70’s they just coined the term serial killer in the 70s 🤨

laurie621 -1 points 2 years ago.

A lot of things are put out there by the media as if they happened just as much in past decades as they do now. “They” do not want us to be aware that society is in a rapid moral decline. I’m old and was around in the 50’s and 60’s so I have first hand knowledge.

The Exorcist (1973)
Piglet -1 points 2 years ago.

I did not watch this movie and still have not watched it. I’m not keen on satanic movies. I was in junior high when it came out and every time the theme song came on the radio I would freak out. I would have to get up and get my bible and sleep clutching it all night. Yes, it did traumatized a generation but I’m not going to watch it anytime soon. I’m in my early 60’s and I’ve watched a lot of different genres but draw the line on satanic movies/tv shows. Linda Blair’s career seemed short lived to me…..gives a person some thought.

laurie621 -2 points 2 years ago*.

I agree with you Piglet. I was in my early 20s when this horrible movie came out. Before I loved scary movies, that is what they were called back then and I just had to watch it… That was the last for me. The lord told me in my spirit these things really happen and not to watch them. I never did again.

Eye for an Eye (1996)
laurie621 -2 points 4 years ago.

Karen McCann (Sally Field) just gets off work, calls her daughter and hears her being raped and murdered. When the justice system fails, yet again, Mom decides an eye for an eye, is exactly what is needed.

Sixteen Candles (1984)
laurie621 -4 points 4 years ago*.

Samantha played by Molly Ringwald has a birthday and the entire family is so wrapped up in her older sisters wedding preparations that they all forget. The just turned 16 year old, is preoccupied with her (imagined) underdeveloped appearance and is in love with a popular older boy she believes doesn’t know she exists. With everything going the way it is, she’s just miserable.
