Fassbender is indeed compelling. Wish I hadn't missed the first 7 minutes. Gotta gettin reading the authorized biography. Wish I'd bought that stock in 98....

Creed (2015) - Rated 01 Feb 2016

Nothing new here but well acted. Jordan did get chapped by the Academy.

Carol (2015) - Rated 24 Jan 2016

The acting was just as good as you'd expect. The only thing longer than the knowing glances was the length of this movie. Beautiful costumes and attention to detail. But by the time it concluded I was grateful it had a happy ending.

The Revenant (2015) - Rated 24 Jan 2016

I love this director but think this movie has been over hyped. The cinematography is stunning. Birdman kicked The Revenant's ass.

The Big Short (2015) - Rated 05 Jan 2016

Took a crazy complex topic and made it easier to understand. Plus kept the tension going even though we know how it turns out

Joy (2015) - Rated 05 Jan 2016

Interesting to learn about Joy. But the dysfunction was way over the top. Hope it was imbellished for the film....

Sisters (2015) - Rated 22 Dec 2015

Amusing but not great. Although I wish I could get all my funny friends together and make a movie.
