My last movie reviews


This will be my last movie reviews, because I have still not completely recovered from my surgery.  I can't write very much, but still watch movies. I feel that it is more important to spend my limited writing time on my novels and short stories. I hope that you enjoyed the movie reviews that I did – they were fun to write. Thank you for years of support.

American Hustle, great characters loosely following the true events. The music, hairstyle, clothes of the time – 1970s – was fun to watch. Good acting. Great cast. The story had suspense as well as some heart. Recommended.

The Grand Budapest Hotel, this was a quirky film. Not quite so much fun as expected, but a very good story. Recommend if you are really willing to pay close attention to the dialogue and the fast pace storytelling.

 Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, this was clearly just a prequel, so they could up the future Jack Ryan films. The plot was very predictable. The acting was not very inspiring. Rather boring. Not recommended.
