I will watch this again on my Home Screen. Even with ear plugs (I had heard people say it was too loud), the decibels of this soundtrack were uncomfortable for me. I could have paid more attention if I could control the sound.

That said, I went to see this movie because Cillian Murphy was in it.

After seeing his phenomenal performance in "Peaky Blinders", I was banking on his performance as being exceptional. I was not disappointed. His OSCAR nomination is well deserved.

I believe the editors, producers, and Christopher Nolan, could have easily done away with the intimate scenes. They were completely superfluous, gratuitous, and just plain idiotic.

Other than that, it was pretty good, not sure if I would categorize as best picture of the year, although I, as previously mentioned, will watch it again, and thankfully be able to skip over the parts that should not have been in there.

As someone who only knows that Godzilla movies were made, and the is it, I actually enjoyed the storyline of this film. My son is a Godzilla fanatic so when I mentioned I would like to see this, because of the awesome reviews, he said let's go, my treat!

I usually do not like having to read subtitles, because I miss out on facial expressions, but this was different. It was easy to keep up with the dialogue and facial expressions at the same time.

The movie went very quickly for me. Which means it did not lag anywhere in the film.

I know this is not a great description, but I guess this is for those like me who have had no interest in Godzilla, but are just curious because of the rave reviews. I do not believe you will be disappointed if a Godzilla fan wants you to go see it with them. It is magnificently shot, and there is a tender story of three people coming together after the war, who have each lost their families, and in turn grow on each other.

Spoiler alert: Very obvious that a sequel is on the horizon.

Fabulous documentary, like most anything presented by PBS's American Experience.

I watched this documentary when it first came on PBS, and wanted to watch it again, but could not find it online, except to pay for it. Luckily my library had the dvd's so I was able to see it again, free of charge.

So sad to watch the disintegration of a possible democracy in Iran, mainly due to the greed of Great Britain and America, for that precious oil reserve in Iran.

That foiled mission to try and get the hostages out was something I was unaware of. I was still a teenager when this was all happening, so probably did not pay much attention to anything other than the hostage crisis itself. It was hard to ignore the coverage of that.

Anyway, the outcome of that mission was gut wrenching to watch on this documentary.

I am so appreciative to the producers that showed how it was Jimmy, and his wonderful heart and soul, and determination, to get those hostages home, whether he was re-elected or not. And of course, he did just that, and on the day Reagan was being inaugurated, that is certainly some irony for ya, huh.

I recommend this documentary to everyone.

I am not sure how to talk about this documentary, or anything about the assassination of our beloved John F. Kennedy without spoiling something, if there is anyone left to spoil, that is unless, of course, this documentary divulged the to true assassin, (which of course, it does not). I sure do not believe Lee Harvey Oswald did it alone.

Does anyone? Certainly, after seeing this well done documentary, you might wonder, what part was Oswald actually playing. If you ask me I would say he was the patsy, the sucker, the fall guy, for the Kennedy assassination.

It does not take a brainiac to realize that a bullet entry wound is going to be much smaller than the exit wound. Remember the magic bullet?

Oh pshaw.

I fell asleep watching this, not because it was boring. I fall asleep watching tv every night. Shortly after I got up, the next morning though, I figured out where I must of dozed off and watched what I missed. I very seldom do this. But this one is quite intriguing.

To me, Arne Johnson and David Glatzel are believable. I have had things happen to me in my life, that lets me know, there is way more going on around us, than we can discern with are very limited 5 senses. Ed and Lorraine Warren, however, are circumspect. It really does seem like they were out mostly for the fame and fortune of it all.

So in short, I trust Arne and David, I do not trust Ed and Lorraine.

This popped up in my YT suggestions. Once I started, I could not stop, this is excellent!

Of course, I have heard of the Temptations, and recognized most of the songs in this biopic, but never thought too much about this group, and did not even know the band members names. In fact, the only name I recognized (did not know he was in the group) is Eddie Kendricks, because of his song "Keep On Truckin".

"Papa Was A Rolling Stone" first words are poignant for me as well as they are for Dennis Edwards. My "daddy" also passed on September 3rd.

Anyway, it is hard to put into words how good this is. Even if you were never a fan of this fabulous group, you may become one after watching this, I know I have.

This documentary, was interesting. But left me with some questions.

My biggest question is why did the family pool their resources in order to have a private investigator delve into the circumstances surrounding this case? In my mind, the better way to use those resources would be to fight for Diane's body to be exhumed and another autopsy to be conducted. I understand they were denied the exhumation, but they should have made that their goal to keep trying, rather than getting the private detective.

Now, back to the title of my review. Excuse the horrible pun, but her abscessed tooth could actually be the ultimate cause of this horrible accident.

Sounds like she had been dealing with the pain for a while, and perhaps discovered that alcohol helped to ease the pain. As the pain got worse, maybe she needed more and more to get the pain to subside. Her son, who survived the accident remembers his Mom saying she had a headache and could not see. Sounds like the infection around the root of her tooth may have traveled into her brain and caused the headache and vision problems. This is where I think the exhumation and subsequent 2nd autopsy would have been warranted. I haven't yet searched for the autopsy results, but I wonder, was her brain autopsied to look for possible effects of the abscessed tooth.

I feel so sorry for the family that not only were left to deal with this horrible event, but have to listen to all those that write Diane off as a despicable drunk who only cared about herself.

It's a tough one...What do The Sopranos and Better Call Saul have in common? Since it is so tough, I will give you a hint.

Each of these series went off the beaten track with a certain episode. The episodes are stand alone masterpieces. You really could have missed the rest of the series and still gotten a kick out of these particular episodes. Also, if you pay very close attention to Better Call Saul, you will hear the name of the place mentioned, that is the title of the episode from The Sopranos.

Since I am on my second viewing of Better Call Saul, I caught this little tidbit, on this second viewing.

Anyway, there are not too many series that are so good, I decide to watch them second time. Better Call Saul just happens to be one of them.

Generally, I do not write reviews on here unless I have given something at least an 8 rating. But because of the contrast, at least for me, from the exquisite 1883, I thought I would share this.

I was so excited to watch the continuing saga of the Dutton family.

But 1923 had a different feel to it compared to 1883 or Yellowstone.

I am actually kinda of bored with it, (I admit I am on episode 4).

And the violence afflicted upon innocent children is just too much for me. I have been skipping over the parts where the so called "people of God" find it necessary to beat someone's heritage out of them.

I think it would be better if the graphic-ness of these scenes were edited out. Men beating the crap out of each other, I can handle, but the abuse of innocence, is where I draw the line, especially since I knew this is how Native American children were treated at one time.

Cruel Wasichu.

A fantasy tale with the central theme being the power of love.

Not really a fan of Nicolas Cage, actually I guess I am kind of neutral about him as an actor. However, in this film, I found his character evolution quite charming, and certainly kept my interest throughout.

Even though this is a fantasy, it got me to thinking about how my first love left me to pursue a different life than he had with me. Wouldn't it be awesome to be given a chance to see what could have been, realize the mistake you made, which is....never let true love slip through your hands, and go get it back!

I loved this movie, and if you ever made the mistake of letting the right one go, this may get you to thinking about that as well.

I just learned about the existence of Chico Xavier a few days ago. I have already watched two films about this amazingly gifted human being.

This film is one of them.

For those who know that our essence, our energy field or aura, our conscious/subconscious, our soul, does not cease to exist, will appreciate the importance of this beautifully presented rendition from one of Chico's books.

Understand that Chico is not the author of the books he is the "bridge" if you will, or more precisely the conduit, of information from the spirit world.

There are a treasure trove of guiding lights that one can glean from this very special telling of what we may experience( everyone's will be different from everyone else), once we transition from this realm.

I needed to watch most of it twice to understand it better.

Please note....this film is not for hard core skeptics. Unless you are on the fence about whether consciousness continues after the physical body dies, don't waste your time on this film.
