Natale a 5 stelle (2018)
A light hearted and fun movie
Don't believe the extreme negative reviews. This is actually an entertaining and funny film. The acting and script are surprisingly good. You need to watch it in Italian with English subtitles. The Italian to English translation is wonderful and conveys the humor very well. It made me laugh out loud multiple times, and is a great lighthearted way to spend a holiday afternoon. I do enjoy Italian cinema, and some of the actors were familiar to me. The humor is reminiscent of "weekend at Bernie's". I really do not understand the multiple negative reviews giving one star rating - it is far from boring!
Les Misérables (2012)
Wonderful story by Vicor Hugo, fails in the musical format
I have never reviewed a movie on IMDb before but after seeing all the positive reviews (I did see some other reviews that agreed with mine but they were in the minority), I needed to write one. This movie is awful. Do not make Hollywood actors sing when they cannot. A musical should be with good singers and good songs and good music. This great story has been ruined by the musical format using Hollywood actors. This is a story that requires dialog and there is no need to sing every single line - it makes no sense. I heard the Broadway show was good and I am sure it was, but this movie is pretentious, tedious and I could barely sit through it. Of note, the previous Les Miserable starring Lieam Neeson and Geoffrey Rush was awesome. If you have not seen that, rent it instead; if you have, see it again - avoid this version at all costs!
