I can't say that I'm surprised that this movie didn't sweep the Oscars in its year. It was okay for a couple hours of entertainment because we couldn't find anything else to watch, but I'm not going to tell my friends to watch it before it leaves Netflix.

A fantastic movie that has very little faults
This movie was a weird one for me because I hate musicals so the thought of liking this movie had never crossed my mind. However I went in to see it and just by the opening I was hooked. Everything that happens is flawless and executed to perfection. I went back to see it the next day and again and again for a total of 10 times its that good. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are electric together and the levels of preparation they did for the roles is outstanding. Some of the finest acting and finest directing seen in a long time so it thoroughly deserved it's credit at the Oscars however it really should've been winner of Best Picture over Moonlight, A.K.A biggest fix in the history of Oscars ever.
If you haven't already, watch this movie and you won't be disappointed at all !

Good performance from saiose ronan (0 more)
Slow in parts (0 more)
I never got why films like this (and 3 billboards) get nominated for Oscars ,while not a bad film it's very slow in parts where nothing much happens , it's billed as a comedy yet I didn't laugh once but i chuckled here and there , Ronan gives an average to be fair performance in a very forgettable film

Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Oct 4, 2017 (Updated Oct 4, 2017)
The finalists for the 2017 National Book Awards have arrived.

The National Book Awards serve roughly the same function in the book world that the Oscars do in the movie world. Pulitzer-winner Jennifer Egan’s Manhattan Beach was widely reviewed and much discussed, but although it was on the longlist for fiction, it didn’t advance to the final round.

I loved Parasite way more than I was expecting to. It was unique. A breath of fresh air compared to everything else that's out now. I thought it was part horror, but I guess it wasn't. Violent, yes. However, it was also a well-woven story that had a lot of smart humor in it. I really enjoyed it, and can definitely see how it won so many Oscars this year. It's definitely worth your while to watch.

Gary Oldman's performance (1 more)
Fascinating story
Powerful
A very interesting film about Churchill during the Darkest hour. He was hastedly put in place as prime minister, had a King who doubted him and his own war cabinet wanted to explore peace talks as the Germans advance on Dunkirk.
Gary Oldman will surely win the best Actor award at the Oscars for his amazing performance. This peek behind the scenes in the war rooms and Churchill in general at such an important point in the war is fascinating.

Movie Favorite

"Jules Dassin’s tour of the London underworld glistens with inky blacks, swirls of smoke, pockets of isolated light, a mise-en-scène broken into Mondrianesque squares, and stunning performances by Francis L. Sullivan, Googie Withers, a Greek wrestler named Zbyszko, and, in the defining performance of a career that ought to get one of those sorry-we-overlooked-you lifetime-achievement Oscars, Richard Widmark, who indulges a brief moment of elation by hurtling a stair railing to affect an incongruous pose of Chaplinesque delight."

One of the greatest onscreen partnerships of all time! This is Butch and Sundance in pinstripes. A film with a plot, endless character and charm, and if not the greatest twist of all time, then one that is definitely in the conversation. It deservedly won 7 Oscars, including costume and music – two details that really make it stand out. Interestingly, Redford was nominated, but Newman was not! Whilst gloriously sinister bad guy Robert Shaw was ignored completely. I have yet to meet anyone who saw this that didn’t enjoy it. An almost perfect film.
