Rickey A. Mossow Jr. (689 KP) rated Wine Country (2019) in Movies
Aug 25, 2019
Could have and should have been so much more.
Ever wonder what would happen if they got a bunch of the funniest women of SNL fame together to make a film what would happen? Well, apparently, the answer is not much. This movie lags from the get-go with opening jokes that miss their intended marks and continue throughout the film. All the female characters seem to lose any real individuality and just all mesh together in a blob of female stereotypes. Wanted to laugh so hard at all these funny women I've loved for years but found only a couple chuckles and a lot of boredom.

Spine chilling horror
Contains spoilers, click to show
I finished the audiobook a short while ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Set in the town of Jerusalem's Lot, the townsfolk are plagued by mysterious deaths that gradually increase in number. A vampire named Barlow is slowly turning citizens into creatures like himself, particularly creepy when it is a child.
The chills you get when reading the scene where Danny Glick scratches the window at Mark's window, is immense.
I love how King slowly moves through the town, setting up little character's lives and deaths, until almost the whole town has succumbed without anyone even realising.
I have great respect for Mark, what an awesome kid.

This is not a traditional "war" film by any stretch.
The Cold War ran long and strenuous and many people on every side made sacrifices and gave everything they had in an effort to do what they believed was right (in many cases.)
Tom Hanks is brilliant (as usual) in demonstrating the mental gymnastics and anguish required to fill the role of a spy during that time in our world.
I won't go into detail about the story in the movie because there is an awful lot to unpack and all of it is relevant to the overall payoff, but please do yourself a favor and watch this movie.

Not that I have seen every anime ever made, but from what I have seen this is the most important anime not produced by Ghibli.
Exceptional art leads the way with a hard hitting story that hits on all cylinders every step of the way. I'm very excited to have recently learned that this studio just released a VOD film that I hope to catch very soon. I've heard it is equally good, which says a lot.
While this movie is safe to watch with your young ones, they will likely not be able to take away from it the many meanings that are included.
