Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
Mediocre
This is a disappointing effort. Some nice homages to the movies, but overall a bland story. The music scoring and editing is weak compared to the symphonic masterpieces of the movies.
The Old Man (2022)
Superb Series
This is a really great story with lots of twists and turns. Jeff Bridges is wonderful in the lead role and as usual has created a fascinating and complex character. I also love seeing John Lithgow in this kind of dramatic role. Really loving the series so far. I can't wait for scenes with Bridges and Lithgow together.
CODA (2021)
Beautiful Story
Great performances, direction and a beautiful story all coalesce to allow this film to transcend it's parts and become a truly great film. For me, the peak moment comes when Ruby sings to her father and he feels the resonance of her singing through touch. I don't cry at movies....except I did here. Troy Kotsur's facial expressions are so real and raw, that I could not help but weep. I just love this movie.
Severance (2022)
Masterpiece
A deeply affecting and thought provoking series that works on many levels. The characters are indelible, painstakingly developed and exquisitely performed. This is peak filmmaking and a masterpiece right up there with Kubrick's best work.
