"Mulholland Dr. and Blue Velvet were the two films that had the most impact on me during my college years. This was the first time I realized how cinema can depict our dreams and nightmares. This film represents our deepest fears of celebrity, fame, and identity—and how ambition, greed, and jealousy can make our realities a nightmare. I see it as a cautionary tale of Hollywood, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. "

Ellen Fox recommended The Wizard of Oz (1939) in Movies (curated)

"Like Xanadu, it’s a phantasmagoria – but more menacing. A lone teenage gal and her dog hit the (yellow, brick) road and pick up a trio of men along the way. Try pitching that idea to a Hollywood studio! The only film in recent memory with a similar story was the lugubrious indie Wendy and Lucy, which I couldn’t even finish. Maybe a flying monkey or a smartly dressed munchkin might have perked things up."

Helena (24 KP) rated Mary Poppins Returns (2018) in Movies

I didn't think this was a necessary movie to create. The original was wonderful and full of laughter, while Mary Poppins returns felt like it was trying too hard to be the original. Nevertheless I do like some of the actors they choose and appreciate the talent they shared. And I liked the ending song and scene (that felt like Mary Poppins to me!) In short: sequels in Hollywood aren't ever quite as good.

Ok
While this one was a little better than the first one, it was still just ok. Thse acting was good. The cinematography was better than before and the storyline was similar, though played out a little better. The ending was a little weak(though typical of Hollywood). Leaving things open for a sequel, of course. If you enjoyed the first one you'll enjoy this one. It's entertaining enough. Worth a watch.

Hollywood Park, by Mikell Jollett, is an eloquently written memoir of heartbreak, identity, and turmoil. It is the story of a broken boy that grows into a man that wants not only to understand why he is broken but also how to fix the parts that he can. He spent his childhood memorizing and reciting the serenity prayer; as an adult he finally understood the line about changing the things he can.
