The Grapes of Wrath (1940) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
"A brilliant portrayal of the devastation of the dustbowl in the midst of the Great Depression and the absence of any social safety net. The black and white photography of the day is the perfect element to portray the desperation of the people and times. As the new arrivals in California try to get a footing, respond to the possibility of collective action through unionizing to improve their situation, the big growers and land owners use the police to enforce their privileged position."
Good Will Hunting (1997) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
Casablanca (1942) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
"A wonderful Classic. Play it again Sam! I watched this every semester during exam week along with a few hundred other classmates. It was the perfect way to break from exam cramming. A great love story (Ingrid Bergman anytime), a serious war story, a well paced and well shaped story, and a musical score that's so good you don't realize until after the movie is over how much the music feeds the story. I still need to pull it out and watch it at least once every 5 years."
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
"Saw it as a kid. It scared the heck out of me. Had nightmares for weeks after."
The Sound of Music (1965) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
The Secret of Roan Inish (1994) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
Bridgerton (2020) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
Call the Midwife (2012) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
"Gentle and loving series tells the harsh realities of slum life and the power of family, hope, and love to carry on in any circumstances. The nuns and midwives of Nonnatus House are a wonderful collection of imperfect human beings who bring the skill of midwifery to life in ways that lift the human spirit. One of very few shows that portrays the reality of the religious life well lived, unchained from dogma and narrowness."
Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
"Attorney Woo is brilliantly played. Deserves an Oscar. The series addresses an important and seldom addressed issue (autism) with sensitivity, grace, and loving humor. Highly recommended."
Chi-Raq (2015) - Rated 09 Oct 2022
