I really wanted to give this movie the benefit of the doubt considering how much I love Katherine Hepburn, but it's romantic story is so forced and not believable. It's even more disappointing when you consider how beautiful this film looks as it takes full advantage of its on location filming of Venice, Italy. It's similar to Roman Holiday in that regard. While its kind of worth watching for that alone, thats about it unfortunately.

John Cassavettes has always been hit or miss for me and this was no different. It's hard to describe but theres this unique "vibe" to his movies that I've never really connected with outside of Love Streams. Even his typical close up shots in this film at times felt like they had no rhyme or reason to them.Despite this Ben Gazzara gives a really good performance as Cosmo, an owner of a nightclub who owes money to some mobsters. He's not necessarily dumb, but more so naive in an irable sort of way. All I'll say is that I expected a more tragic ending considering the decisions he makes throughout the story.

Rarely do I ever encounter a movie that grabs my attention fully and keeps it from start to finish. Tatsuya Nakadai gives an all time great performance as Hanshiro Tsugumo. Even before we get a glimpse into his past you can automatically tell his character has been through some shit. Usually I'm not a fan of flashbacks but they are used perfectly in this particular film. This combined with the beautiful cinematography is what makes it truly stand out.If I had to nitpick the swordfighting at the end was just too ridiculous for me, but other than that I have no complaints.

For the most part this was a fun watch. Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams do a really good job as Betsy and Arlene. They feel like actual friends and I do appreciate some of the historical references. At times it did feel like the movie tried too hard to have our main characters be connected with almost every event surrounding Watergate. The rest of the cast felt very lukewarm especially Will Ferrell as Bob Woodward. Don't even get me started with Ryan Reynolds, he just sucks. Although Todd overhyped this movie, it was still worth a watch.

Wow. Peter Fonda plays Harry a cowboy drifter who finally returns home to his wife and child. Fonda and Verna Bloom who plays his wife Hannah give outstanding performances. Their whole "relationship" is what truly drives this movie. Harry decision is what makes it all the more frustrating when shit hits the fan.That's what makes the ending so heartbreaking in a great way of course.

How about a noir set in London? Richard Widmark plays Harry Fabian a con man who comes up with ill advised ideas/schemes.He is so great at portraying how crazy and desperate his character is, especially with his eyes. Watching his downfall is so entertaining yet so tragic at the same time. One of my favorite scenes is when he steals money from his girlfriend Mary played brilliantly by Gene Tierney. Even though she has limited screentime, she makes every scene count. I also have to mention how damn good this movie looks as it takes full advantage of the gritty city streets of London. I had a wonderful time watching this.

Season 2 Review
This show was truly something special.Even after season 1, I was questioning whether the show was as great as I thought it was or were my expectations so low because of how horrible Star Wars has been under Disney. After season 2, I can happily say that yes this show is that fucking fantastic. Going into it I was very worried how it would turn out with the time jumps, but for the most part they did a really good job.I know this has been said before by so many people but the quality of this show is exceptional. Everything from the sets,costumes,special effects,acting,practical effects,writing,directing and etc are done with such a tremendous amount of effort. You can tell that all the money that was put into this project was fully utilized. The action sequences are so awesome, especially the ones involving the prototype tie.There are so many scenes where I would just be amazed at how gorgeous the backgrounds look. There are so many shows out there that will pull you out of it because of how cheap they are, Andor is the exact opposite, it's so imerrsive. Will all that being said the best part about all of this is that we see aspects of the rebellion and the empire that we have either never seen before or not much at all. I could go on and on about how much I love Andor, so hopefully I've convinced you to at least check it out. Even if you are not into Star Wars I highly recommend you watch this show, it is totally worth it.

Really Tony Gilroy this is supposedly your best movie? I've become such a huge fan of his because of Andor, but this was so disappointing. The story felt very lackluster at times. I know it's not an action movie, but after the car bomb exploded I feel like there should have been a certain level of intensity to follow that up. Despite this George Clooney gives a damn good performance and this does have a satisfying ending.

This movie is so stupid. Our main character Tom acts like a 12 year old with a delusional mindset.He keeps reading into things too much.Just look at the way he looks at Summer for the majority of the movie. The fact that he even believed in the whole true love,destiny, and soul mates nonsense for that long makes him look even more naive. The guy even blames songs and movies when he quits his greeting card job.I'm not going to defend her either. She says she's not looking for anything serious in a relationship yet it feels like she's leading him on at times. You could have just told him from the very beginning you just wanted to remain strictly friends(even though he was never going to take it well regardless).It didn't help that the movie kept jumping around between all of those days, it felt like a mess.

Fred Astaire plays Tony Hunter a faded star who gets the opportunity to be in a new musical that is a complete mess. Of course that's what makes the movie great as there are so many unique dance numbers. My favorite one is the nightlife bar sequence that combined "action" with the actual music. There's also a simple yet enjoyable one set in the park.I still prefer Singin in the Rain, but this still was pretty good.
