Well-educated, intelligent, loving, occasionally brilliant, and frequently hilarious.

BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ

Lancaster gave a touching, heartwarming performance as Bob Stroud, a convict at Leavenworth and Alcatraz who was never granted a parole or pardon despite being a renowned expert on birds and their diseases. Truly enjoyable throughout!

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH boxd.it/c2hiLH

Disturbing & shameful chapter of history. Matter-of-fact, understated, powerful performances. As an American, pissed me off!

Especially relevant now as governmental agencies are increasingly weaponized against citizens.

DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES

An account of a couple's relationship fueled, motivated and ruined by alcoholism. Lemmon and Remick efficiently conveyed the emotions brought about by alcohol addiction with their splendid acting, and Mancini's theme song is a total blast!
