It'...Sorry to hear about the loss of your pets. It's always hard to see them go even if they have been in a bad way. The new job sounds rocky but hopefully with everything fixed it will become a smoother ride. Fingers crossed! <br /><br />Yes absolutely Ellen Burstyn should have won that year! I hated Requiem for a Dream with a passion but she was riveting in it. I wouldn't have been too disappointed if Laura Linney had won for You Can Count on Me, she's wonderful as always but will always feel Ellen was cheated. <br /><br />I do read the Star of the Month but didn't have much to say about Paul Robeson. He was very talented as well as being controversial and I've seen several of his films but I'm not a passionate fan. Looking forward to seeing who you focus on in May! joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-84957385141851459022022-04-25T07:49:35.819-04:002022-04-25T07:49:35.819-04:00Haven't seen these, but I'm very curious a...Haven't seen these, but I'm very curious about your review :DDamyanti Biswashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101150230749343025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-53104238205945348872022-04-24T13:00:58.577-04:002022-04-24T13:00:58.577-04:00Hi Shady, yes, Ukraine needs our help and Putin mu...Hi Shady, yes, Ukraine needs our help and Putin must be stopped.

I had to drive by The alive Canal which is another horrible issue where many people got sick, died and had to leave their homes. Everything was boarded up. <br />I forgot about The Andromeda Strain and would like to watch that again. I don’t know Testament but will check it out. Yes, Julia didn’t deserve the prize but she got it because of the role and her push up bra. She always played someone a little more demure, even I. pretty Woman. Whom d9 you think should have won? Ellen Burstyn? Did you read my star of the month? I always love your comments. It’s been a tough few weeks, I lost m6 dog and our one cat and my job has been tough. Unorganized, not being shown everything I need to do. The boss is ..ughhh and had no one internet or office phones and they expected me to fix it all.

Yes, that lengthy trailer of On The Beach made me giggle at how much they plugged the film. You do feel guilty if you don’t see it😁. I don’t think Fred Astaire danced around any nukes hitting them with his feet, that would not be a good idea. <br />I am surprised you covered the story of 3 Mile Island. It must have been something to be present at that time and speak to the people involved. China Syndrome is quite a gutsy movie and very true.<br />I didn’t find Julia Roberts bitchy but I did find her very uncomfortable and not pleased with how creepy Stern was with continuously saying how beaut she was. To be honest, knowing what he does, should have been a clue never to do that show. Julia is known to be ...not very nice. When she did “Sleeping with the Enemy,” she spoke about the small town in a very condescending manner and the people who lived there really disliked her. I hope she grew up a bit. That being said, she is good in this film and her ta-tas deserved an Oscar.<br />I almost went with Silkwood which is another excellent movie despite Streep whom, I think, is grossly over-rated.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-91969965089492025472022-04-24T12:12:34.153-04:002022-04-24T12:12:34.153-04:00Yes, you are so right about the demise of the Indi...Yes, you are so right about the demise of the Indian population, culture, land and just being.

Really great topic!
The first movie tha...BIRGIT ~<br /><br />Really great topic!<br /><br />The first movie that raced into my mind was one of the few from the 21st Century that I abbalouly love, Love, LOVE!<br /><br />'THE BIG SHORT' (2015)<br />Certainly one of my Top 30 favorite movies of all time. A *BRILLIANTLY* written and performed movie which, unfortunately, most people probably *STILL* don't understand. (Dingbats who refuse to learn from the past are destined to repeat it... X 10!)<br /><br />2008 (& 2020) was just a nice walk in the park compared to what is coming next... and SOON! It will be the same villains using their same bag o' tricks, and "The Great Depression" from the past is going to seem like Paradise compared to the next 8 years on planet 'PHUQED'! (Ya best cover yer ass, and store some food & drinkable water!!)<br /><br />'DR. STRANGELOVE: Or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb' (1964)<br />Slim Pickens riding an atomic bomb down to World War III. Need I say more?<br /><br />The <b>ONLY</b> thing scarier than <i><b>that</b></i> is Slim Pickens making goo-goo eyes and attempting to seduce Walter Brennan in drag. (See 'Alias Smith & Jones': Season 2, 'The Day They Hanged Kid Curry'.)<br /><br />My third choice might be...<br /><br />'THE SPIRIT OF '76' (1990)<br />In the year 2176, a magnetic storm has eradicated all recorded history, causing the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to be lost. Three time travelers, Adam-11 (David Cassidy), Chanel-6 (Olivia d'Abo), and Heinz-57 (Geoff Hoyle) are sent back to July 4, 1776, to retrieve America's heritage, but due to an unnoticed time machine malfunction, they end up in 1976 instead.<br /><br />OK, so a "magnetic storm" would be labeled as a "natural disaster". But, surely, David Cassidy time-traveling to save the country and the world cannot POSSIBLY be described as "natural". (This is actually one of my all-time top favorite "guilty pleasure" movies, on a par with 'PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE', which I could have used instead, except that I've mentioned it several times previously.)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS</a></b>Stephen T.
