" Anne with an E"
Anyone who watches it will enjoy the girl's love of language .
Once the lockdown was complete I decided to learn how to watch some NETFLIX here, rather than wait to go to the UK or US to my sons homes. Here the TV is hogged by the men watching cricket and football and ofcourse the BBC. This time I said I need two hours for myself and they backed off going to exercise while I binge watched.
Just a random choice on Netflix and it turns out to be a series of three episodes. Amazing how this ebullient orphan girl wins the hearts of an older pair of siblings who live in a farm called Green Gables!
Anne with an E, is a Canadian drama television series based on the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery and adapted by Emmy Award winning writer and producer Moira Walley-Beckett.
Anyone who watches it will enjoy the girl's love of language.
What a great cast!
Light hearted and fun like a chicklet novel! Great cast though aging. On Amazon Prime! Thanks Matty for the tip!
The horrifying Tsunami
Watched 'The Impossible' and cried unashamedly because of the baby boys who bravely struggled through it.
Based on the experience of María Belón and her family in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It's not for the faint hearted but I am so glad I did watch it.
Absolutely stellar performances.
An amazing cast, dont miss it
Featuring outstanding acting from an excellent cast, The Departed is a thoroughly engrossing gangster drama with the gritty authenticity of mafia warfare and plenty of blood and gore. DeCaprio was fantastic and creepy Nicholson too!
Denzel is excellent here.
Have always hated action films but this was a gripping one and kept me riveted.
Safe House is a 2012 American action thriller film starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds.
Dont miss this movie if you are a runner!
Dad always spoke about Jesse Owens being his sporting hero while training me on the tracks.
Race ( 2016) is all about Jesse Owens' quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history thrusts him onto the world stage of the 1936 Olympics, where he faces off against Adolf Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy.
Race is a 2016 biographical sports drama film about African-American athlete Jesse Owens, who won a record-breaking four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.
So inspirational.
Dont know why I took so long to see this
A bit bloody and gory but riveting non the less watch Christoph Waltz, Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio star in Quentin Tarantino's revenge saga mostly set in the Deep South just before the US Civil War.
A slave-turned-bounty hunter exacts bloody payback in Tarantino's engagingly idiosyncratic reframing of American history.
Sigh Robert Redford
Out of Africa ---based on Danish noblewoman Karen Blixen’s life spent running a coffee plantation in British East Africa (now Kenya) and her love affair with the aristocratic big-game hunter Denys Finch Hatton, the film went on to win seven Oscars when it was released on December 18, 1985. ( Streep and Redford look fantastic !)
Worth watching --apparently the scenery captured the imagination of cinema audiences all over the world and sold Kenya as a destination in a way that no holiday brochure ever could.
Ryan Gosling is amazing
The Place Beyond the Pines --Story begins with handsome stunt motorcycle rider Luke's ( Ryan Gosling) fateful decision to rob banks to support his baby boy. Finally caught by policeman Avery ( Bradley Cooper), which will have a devastating impact on both of their families in the years to come. ( 2013).
Great cast, enjoyed the film.
So many Oscar awards
Sean Penn, Timm Robbins, Kevin Bacon the exceptional acting of its strong cast, makes Mystic River ( 2003) a must see folks. A somber drama that unfolds in layers and conveys the tragedy of its story. Produced by Clint Eastwood it keeps you gripped through the film, wondering who the murderer is.
Judi Dench was underplayed.
Seen it before on a 'plane I'm guessing -- "Red Joan" drew me cause of Dame Judi Dench. The story is about Joan Stanley, who was exposed as the K.G.B.'s longest-serving British spy.
On NETFLIX.
Ofcourse it was Russel Crowe that drew me.
Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks give it their all, with solid performances in the The Next Three Days' . On NETFLIX.
“The Next Three Days” is a 2010 remake of a 2008 French film “Pour Elle,” which was based on the true story of a French woman who was convicted of killing her boss. Her husband breaks her out of prison and they flee to South America.
I was rooted to my chair cause the woman was wrongly convicted and how easy it is to do that. Happened with me to a much lesser degree with the woman and her dratted dogs. ( 2003)
