Bar fights involving Patrick Swayze, a love story, an evil millionaire that terrorizes a small Missouri town, and Sam Elliott. What's there not to love about this 80's classic?

One piece of advice when watching this is to sit back and enjoy. It's a fun movie about a heist doomed from the start and a love triangle between pals. Its camera work and editing are iconic, and no wonder this movie has influenced so many modern films.One piece of advice when watching this is to sit back and enjoy.

An engaging drama about a woman undergoing mental health issues and her family trying to support her. Gena Rowlands gives a powerful performance along with Peter Falk playing as her supportive husband. It is a hard movie to watch but worth it.

An off kilter rom- com with a winning cast and script. Cher is a total delight as a pragmatic romantic who meets an eccentric baker played by Nicolas Cage. It will make you laugh and look at the moon.

A sparkling rom-com with lovely chemistry between Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. It is one of the few movies that show what it is like working at a reference desk. A fun, light movie to watch with a date.

A heartbreaking but beautifully shot movie about two people discovering their significant other's infidelity. While slow, it is worth a watch as each scene looks like a painting. I loved the soundtrack with the gorgeous costume design!

A breath of fresh air, Eighth Grade is heartbreakingly funny and honest. For once, a movie captures a moment in time that is awkward for everyone. It also has a fantastic soundtrack and is beautifully shot.

Beabadoobee has managed to evoke alt-pop sounds of the late '90s to early '00s while it sounds fresh. It has the right amount of angst, regardless of the listener's age or relationship status.

I have been listening to this album on a loop as of late. It has this fun, 70s AM sound that feels airy for a hot summer day. Defiantly add "Gasoline" and "Up From A Dream" to your road trip playlists.

I agree with the previous commentor's post, it was a terrible waste of time. I have liked other films by Jocelyn Deboer but this one tried too hard to be dark and satirical, it lacked any substance.

I am thrifty, ecologically responsible person and this movie was predictably right up my alley. I enjoyed Varga's interviews of the different kinds of gleaners from all over the country. Ones who completely subsist on food throw away to those who glean from the piles of "inferior" produce (oysters even!), a man who use the waste to build sculpture, and an interview with a character who gleans items to resell, amongst several more stories. A beautiful film is a light, sweet ode to a painting by Jean-François Millet that the director is inspired by.I am thrifty, ecologically responsible person and this movie was predictably right up my alley.

What do you do when your love interest employs you to help them out with their terribly comedic supernatural situation? What if the antagonist is Will Forte?

Typically, I like the book much better than the movie. But in this case, the movie format and the great visual effects enhance the story. I was looking for a movie that three generations could watch together and this fit the bill. Lots of video-game type violence, but not gruesome-and a bit of profanity.Typically, I like the book much better than the movie.

So easy even a cave man could do it-WRONG, Geiko! New evidence from DNA sequencing and fossil/artifact evidence shows not only were Neanderthals smarter and more organized than previously thought, they are ancestors of modern humans. Fascinating!

Nice addition to a very good series, "Exhibition on Screen." One probably obvious but major take-away for me is that Manet never considered himself part of the Impressionist movement even though he's considered the "father" of it. Since I'm not able to pop over to London to visit major exhibitions, this video format works fine. Imagine the curator of an exhibition gives you a personal tour and along the way tells you about the artist's life. Many additional titles from this series available in Kanopy, too.Nice addition to a very good series, "Exhibition on Screen."

There's the documentary with the actual Beales and there's this movie with Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore playing the actual Beales and they're much more engaging. The Big Edie and Little Edie Beale were cousins of Jackie Kennedy who just went right off the deep end. Big Edie took to her bed and gave up their house in fashionable East Hampton to entropy and feral cats and raccoons. Little Edie lost her hair from anxiety, gave up her show biz ambitions and holed up in the disintegrating family home. Jackie did come to their rescue to no avail, however. They were too far gone though Little Edie managed, at last, to gain some success as novelty cabaret act. Both of the actresses are outstanding. This is the movie that established Drew as a serious actress of no small talent.There's the documentary with the actual Beales and there's this movie with Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore playing the actual Beales and they're much more engaging.

At first, I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed in Season 2 but I slogged on and, you know, it turned out to be very funny after all and you begin to feel a certain attachment to the characters for all their flaws -- except Mateo. It's hard to warm up to Mateo. Sandra really comes into her own in this season and that alone is a good reason to watch.At first, I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed in Season 2 but I slogged on and, you know, it turned out to be very funny after all and you begin to feel a certain attachment to the characters for all their flaws -- except Mateo.

When Allison Janney won an Emmy (her seventh, by the way) for her performance as Bonnie Plunkett in this sitcom, she thanked producer Chuck Lorre for “creating such a deeply flawed character and immediately thinking of me to play her.” And, indeed, Bonnie is flawed: a self-centered former alcoholic, drug addict, thief and teen mom but she is funny. So funny. Anna Farris plays her daughter, also a former alcoholic, addict and teen mom. For two flawed characters, their work together is flawless.

Engaging, funny and sobering look at how very little things have changed in the political sphere since the Bush years. Jeff Daniels is very good as a Republican newscaster who is a bit disturbed by the direction his party is moving in and who, with his exec producer played by Emily Mortimer, is pioneering a new news format: the truth. And who wouldn't love seeing Sam Waterston as their boss navigating that fine line between truth and ratings? Or Jane Fonda as the bitch owner of the station, more interested in money and political influence than honesty? If anything, the characters are a bit too noble but, in times like these, that's welcome.Engaging, funny and sobering look at how very little things have changed in the political sphere since the Bush years.

Before Hail Caesar, there was My Favorite Year, a lovely comedy about live television in the 1950s. Peter O'Toole is absolutely charming as Alan Swann, an almost-has-been silent film swashbuckler with a drinking problem and Mark Linn Baker is believable as the tyro writer on what is clearly meant to be Sid Caesar's Show of Shows who worships him. Reality and fantasy clash for both of them and there is, you know, personal growth but it's not too cheesy. Lainie Kazan forged her Essential Ethnic Mother role in this film. O'Toole's delivery of the line "Wonderful to be alive!" takes wry quippery to a whole new level.Before Hail Caesar, there was My Favorite Year, a lovely comedy about live television in the 1950s.

Grand melodrama! Nazi horrors! Secret homosexual relationships! Inter-class marriage! Lots and lots of sheep! A Place to Call Home has all this and the luminous and talented Marta Dusseldorp to boot. She plays Sara Adams, a nurse with a mysterious past returning to her native Australia after 20 years in Europe where she converted to Judaism, fought in the Resistance and suffered quite a bit in other ways that I won't reveal here. Sara is steely and strong. She's not afraid to shoot a horse with a broken leg or sucker punch someone in the solar plexus with the butt end of a rifle if the situation calls for it. What a woman! Yes, the show is a soap opera but it's a soap opera with an Aussie accent. It's really quite wonderful.Grand melodrama! Nazi horrors! Secret homosexual relationships! Inter-class marriage!
