Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

On Tuesday, August 27, 2019, I went to see the movie Where'd You Go, Bernadette?  This movie features Cate Blanchett, Billy Crudup and Laurence Fishborne.  Blanchett plays Bernadette Fox, who is an architect that gave up her creative side for her family for the past twenty years.  Her husband, Crudup (Elgie) is a workaholic, but uses this as a way to cope with their drifting apart.  Eventually, Bernadette redisovers her passion for creation.

I thought the movie was very nicely done.  However, the ending was a bit abrupt.

Pavarotti

On Tuesday, August 13, 2019, I went to see the movie Pavarotti.  A film directed by Ron Howard abou the singer.  It is a documentary.

It was interesting to learn about the man.  However, I never really liked him (as I don't really enjoy opera - still don't have an ear for it)

And we had an uptight crowd.  One constant shusher and one lady who blew up at me because I accidentally nudged her seat while adjusting.  I apologized and she was still rude about it.

Rocketman, Compulsive Liar, Lion King, Yesterday

I just realized that I forgot to update quite a few movies.  I have seen a couple in the past few weeeks.

I saw Rocketman, the story about Elton John's life and his music.  Beautifully done, the music was nice and the singing was amazing.

I saw Compulsive Liar, or Menteur, in French.  The story is about the main character who is a compulsive liar and to make him learn his lesson, all his lies that he has ever told all become truths.  Which makes for a hilarious story that follows.  How does he get out if it?  You'll have to watch the movie to find out.

I saw Lion King, the remake.  It was okay.  There was a lot of CGI, of course, because you really can't have animals that do what they do in the movie.  I personally did not feel that this was better than the original animated feature.  It certainly was not better than Aladdin, in my opinion.

Tonight, I went to see Yesterday.  This movie is about Jack Malik, played by Himesh Patel, who has a struggling career in music.  His manager is Ellie Appleton, played by Lily James, an elementary school mathematics teacher.  One night, he gets in an accident with a bus and he wakes up in a hospital bed.  In this new timeline, the Beatles never existed (along with a few other things), so he gets to live his dream of being a big star using Beatles songs.  What happens?  You'll have to watch the movie to find out.
