oscar jubis has class. Talk about credible. He he writes he has substance behind it.
Unless there is really an artistic need for a voiceover that enhances a movie scene, a lot of times, I find voiceovers just a lazy way of offering up explanations that would be much better...
I am in the minority of those who loved Harrison Ford's voice over narrative in Bladerunner. It seemed to fit the whole film noir of the classical 50s crime thriller. Yet we'll have to see if I can...
I actually forgot this site existed. Been really busy with personal health issues and trying to get elected to the Utah House. Here's my mainstream movie list:
1. Rocketman (2019). Taron...
Olivia Colman's nomination for Best Actress Oscar is somewhat like a Time MagazinePerson of the Year nomination. These nominations reflect neither the ethical right or wrong, good or badness of what...
Maybe I need to stop watching movies first and read Chris's commentaries on them before instead. Here we find a luscious commentary about Nicole Kidman's film. It's only failing, but justifiably so...
A puzzling Chris commentary in which he appears to both lavish and deride this movie at the same time. He writes that "this is not that wonderful a movie nor is it one people will rush to see." He...
Took the time to see the original version of Mary Poppins recently before I saw this sequel. I grew up experiencing Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins as a child and again I re-experienced the gaiety and...
Breaking new contemporary, mainstream ground, this animated feature film captures the very essence of reading an actual comic book in full living, dynamic, fluid, non-stop motion. It's almost as if...
I am in agreement with most of what Chris has described. But his commentary about the movie is more about the amazing man and his singular story itself and less about the movie. I enjoyed the movie...
My Top 2018 Movies (Tab L. Uno)
1. First Man (2018). Historical. Ryan Gosling, was a pretty sure bet for an Oscar nomination for director and his movie for...
Chris is on to something in his commentary about this over the top Asian-American romantic comedy. As an Asian American, however, I found a lot more to enjoy and celebrate with its Asian-themed...
Ryan Gosling, has a shot for an Oscar nomination for director and his movie for cinematography, editing, and sound (even though the box office results suggests otherwise). Ryan has elevated the art...
Cinemabon continues his great written commentary with this movie review that is easy to read and descriptively fun to read. As a third generation Japanese American, the whole politically correct...
There's a good kind of creepiness in Cinemabon's review of this movie. It hauntingly reminds me of the approach taken by Chris Knipp in his typical execution of plot detail and then inserting at...
Chris ultimately proclaims that this documentary was "nothing special, really, just the usual archival footage and talking heads" and that "From a distance, superficially, the show and "Mr. Rogers"...
Sometimes it nice to have an opinion that is shared by others as this movie demonstrates. At least for a non-theater major, sometimes, it's an affirmation of the universality of so movies.
My Top 2017 Movies (Tab L. Uno)
1. The Battle of the Sexes (2017). Sports. The true-life story of the epic event between tennis great Billie Jean King...
Only if Chris has stopped his commentary with his first paragraph he could have summed up and captured the totality of this movie perfectly. The rest of his commentary downplaying this movie is not...
I found the obvious incorporation of the overly cute alien creatures a bit much, dumbing down, avoiding what even Harry Potter movies matured into by growing up and maturing and that the main central...
Administrators of IMDb have substantially changed public user accessibility to movie user reviews. It's literally impossible to locate and read one's own movie review or to search and sort public...
I feel deprived that I haven't had a chance to attend Oscar Jubis's class. I would really have been excited and enthralled to hear about many of the movies that he has listed that I have included in...
While I agree with Chris on the basic premise of this movie's more mature handling of a possible alternate world's storyline, I found the group's eventual focus on the little details much more...
I need to see this movie again because when I recall this movie from the perspective of Ryan Gosling, it seems to be much more powerful as a dramatic character-driven movie.
