c.r. 2014 Chaz Ebert
-
--- What can you say about a critic ? Stay on topic.
This is about Roger Ebert, Pulitzer winner for writing something.
But best known to most of us, the movie critic that worked along side his evil twin, Eugene Siskel.
--- I'll just say, the horror of having your lower jaw removed is something only someone with a
lust for life could tolerate.
--- Now as for their criticizing of movies is where I'll need to tell them to get off.
They tried too hard to be slick. Their reasons for disliking a movie were so over the top, it's a
wonder they liked anything. I think Gene Siskel was the worst, at griping . And for awhile Ebert let him get
away with a lot of sophisticated snobbery. But after awhile he started to retort with other nonsense
that Siskel didn't understand. Or he just couldn't deal with. Looking back it seems Ebert was letting Siskel
box himself in. And Ebert, like a crafty boxer, then cornered him. And it was TV so there was a time constant.
And of course the more the movie cost the more critical they were of it. They took criticizing to a whole
another level.

Voices from the Stone

c.r. 2020 stars Emilia Clarke

I'm wondering who they made this for ?
I knew what she had to do 15 minutes into the show.
Grandma surprised me.

Reborn
-
c.r. 2020 stars Kayleigh Gilbert
-
Any dark skinned man with a fairly prominent nose might do well with a girl like Kayleigh.
But a white man might end up looking like the cop that tasered then shot to death the
negroid man that stepped in to stop a domestic argument a couple days ago.

Chaz Bono sighting.

A PRIVATE WAR
-
C.R. 2018 stars Rosamund Pike
-
About war correspondent Marie Colvin and her aids.
Her photographer, editor and contacts that got her close
to the inhumanity.
The risk they all took was a death wish ! (Not the editor.)
She finally is killed in Syria. Good story about brave people.

C. R. 1998 stars Dustin Hoffman

The movie made the point for us. Man is not ready for the mental power
that could allow thought projection. Pretty good show but with the usual
director cheating.

Paris Blues
-
C. R. 1961 stars Dianne Carroll

Sidney Portier is one of the first African American actors to get big time respect.
Here with Paul Newman they play in a Paris jazz band. Louis Armstrong sighting.
The jazz was great. Fun story.

^?^ Remember the Alamo ^>^
-
C. R. 2004 Written and Produced by Joseph Tovares
-
A Hispanic's take on early Tex-Mex history.
-
I really needed this format, video DVD, because I never was a good reader.
I at least looked at the pictures.
I did a book-report on this when I 14 or so. And I know it was bad.
I'm sure I didn't get the total dead on the Mexican side correct.
I do remember the "no quarter" part.
--- First the Texas this examines is about 100 sq. miles around San Antonio.
And Mexico/Spain still had influence all the way to California. Now the Tejanos
were leaders in that area and had the audacity to want to make it there own
providence. Then Stephen F. Austin goes down there and wants to bring his/American people
there. And I could could feel it from right there. He wanted to numerically dominate
the Tejanos. The rest would fall in place ! Mexico still had a big enough army to
check all this free thinking. And they brought about 4K north to assert that.
--- Now popular thought here is the Texans were patriots. Not really. They were land
grabbers ! They offered 400 acres per man. Just to flood the place. And since slavery
was popular, lots of Africans came. This is how sad the slave situation was: As property
of whites they were protected. You couldn't just lynch one because you would piss-off
the owner.
--- The writer here wanted to promote the Hispanic relevance here. As early as 1824
the Spanish ranchers held sway. Jose A. Navarro, Tejanos leader, pushed for the independence.
Since B.S. floated, and A. L. Santa Ana may've done some things that made him not trustable.
Leaving the Alamo fortress may've not been an option. You know the rest. Bowie, Crockett
and many Tejanos got messed there.
- Of course Mexico didn't want immigration, even way back then !

Light of my Life
-
C. R. 2018 stars Casey Affleck
-
Disease has decimated the female population.
Yet for 10 years this father has hidden his daughter in
the woods as a boy. And no weapon they say.
Sure enough good people get bludgeoned to death as the menz
seek this girl. Really, so weak. Don't you think the father's
attitude should've been: want my little girl, pull on this
shotgun barrel. I'll hold the trigger very firmly.

C. R. 2018 Caleb Landry Jones
-
We may've evolved some. The brother wasn't abused too badly at what turned
out to be a semi-normal birthday party.
Jones actually plays a decent dude. But he and Bennett Deady should make a
movie. What would be controversial is for them to play foul humans. Oh, say lynchers !
Make sure their hair is all messed up so we get the proper feel.

Finding Josephine
-
C. R. 2019 stars Alice Coulthard
-
Fun story. Joe' joins the Confederate Army to find her husband.
She meets some good guys and some bad guys. Since it's Civil War
it had it's gnarly moments. You would think a girl trying to be male
would know the male jargon. To head-off their suspicions. She doesn't show that.

The bigger they come the harder they fall, into their own jizz.
The Gary Hart story. An American presidential hopeful
gets undermined by his promiscuous behavior. The director does well
to show his great rise and fall. Mostly his own fault.

C. R. 2019 no stars, well Bruce Dern, thee old man lately
-
I got bored with the mother after 5 minutes, and shut it down.
Let me interject before you go down that thread because I don't want to hear it.
Again and again, of course the timid girl doesn't want to upset her family.
Ok, I picked it back up thinking I might miss some girl on girl action.
Didn't get any.

Jesus Christ: his Life
-
C. R. 2019 History Channel
-
I always like stories about Jesus or Moses. There is a history connection.
Watching this one, the story goes a little deeper. Maybe liberties of speech
where taken. But they tell a good story. What I noticed is Pilate's first con-
frontation with J.C. was an inquisition. Cause they ended up whipping the piss
out of him. Hoping that would be enough for the pharoses. And to give up
Barabbas for him, perhaps a Roman soldier killer, Pilate wasn't getting sucked
to this Jewish mess. The Jews did want peace and the killing of J. C. was what
Jesus wanted to some extent the Roman command wanted and the pharoses wanted.
--- They go on to note: Peter the rock of Jesus' church was fallible. Or he
would've been a martyr. Save yourself, tell the story.
--- Jesus dad was an adaptable man. As in movies you need a nonconfrontational
man to let the story develop. Not a terminal man like Judas Iscariot, [means knife[r].

---\\\0--- Black Hole Apocalypse ---///O///---
-
C. R. 2018 host Janna Levin PBS, WGBH
-
--- Ms. Levin authored "Stories of Black Holes and other songs of Outer Space.
First I wondered, are they holes or spheres ? Most galaxies have a central belt.
And are way wider than they are deep. They say the appearance of the orb is a
trick of the light. It being bended over something. Some of these entities could
be worm like, a hole. As you look at galaxies they sit at every angle to us.
--- They say the universe is ever expanding. And to only eye vision it could
only expand as far as a lighted object could show you. So they look at it with xrays.
And they see red dots all over the place. The radiation signature.
--- I think they proved gravity moves in waves re Lido Lab.
--- They even showed suns orbit-eclipsing around the center of our Milky Way. A Black Orb.
I think that would give it a top and bottom. We just don't see enough power lifting the
galaxies up and down, they stay on a plane. Centrifugal balance.
Maybe they are shaped more like a wedding ring ?

Citizen K
-
C. R. 2019 Produced Alex Gibney
-
--- So Russia President Boris Yeltsin allowed some capitalistic practice back in
the 1980s-1990s. The people wanted it. But some of the laws weren't well understood or practiced.
The citizen/oligarch followed here is Mikhail Khodorkovsky. He made a lot of money in
oil production. And his friends did well also. They make the point, rich people
were killed in Russia. So it seems the people didn't get all their moneys, pensions etc.
And communism resurfaced with the introduction of Vladimir Putin. He took back the private owned
companies including TV media.
--- Somehow Mr. Khodorkovsky got on the wrong side of Putin and went to jail for
10 years. So now the people think he's a hero.
