Struggling to stay afloat, Charlie (a straight laced fella) forms a very unusual working relationship with drag queen, Lola, to save his company. Music and dance scenes are really great, ESPECIALLY the Milan Fashion week event. ππππ</span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><u style="color: #351c75; font-weight: bold;">Murder by Death</u><span style="color: #990000;"> 1976 film written by Neil Simon.

Problems occur several times throughout the movie. We watched this at a low time during the pandemic, it was a very uplifting movie, we both enjoyed this one greatly.πππππ</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><u style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: bold;">Band of Outsiders</u><span style="color: #990000;"> 1964 French film by Jean-Luc Godard. </span></span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">One Jim purchased years ago. Very bizarre film about a young woman who mistakenly tells a fellow student about all the money in the house she lives in. He in turns tells his friend, and the two launch a plot to steal the money, they involve the young woman. In Black and White, which was probably better than had it been filmed in color.

It inspired Jonah (Sleepless in Seattle) to have his widower father (Tom Hanks) to meet the woman (Meg Ryan) he wants his dad to marry on top of the Empire State Building on Valentine's Day. In one scene in "Sleepless..", Rita Wilson's character makes mention of "An Affair to Remember"....ππππππ</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><u style="color: #0c343d; font-weight: bold;">A Special Day</u><span style="color: #990000;"> 1977 Italian film directed by Edoardo Ponti, Sophia Loren's son. Considered by many to be the finest performances by Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni of their film careers. Set on the historic day in 1938 when Mussolini welcomes Hitler to Rome, and the citizens of Rome are all expected to turn out to welcome Hitler... With actual film footage of Hitler, Mussolini, and various other Nazi officials arriving by train in Rome. πππππππ</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><u style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: bold;">Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker </u><span style="color: #990000;"> supposedly the conclusion of the Star Wars films.

Jordan). Events leading up to Oscar's death on the final day of his life New Year's Day 2009, the actual events begin on New Year's Eve 2008. Powerful story of how things can go very wrong, simply by being a person of color and being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Why?ππππππ</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><u style="color: #4c1130; font-weight: bold;">Like Crazy </u><span style="color: #990000;"> 2016 Italian comedy/drama, which won several foreign film awards. Two women, from entirely different backgrounds, and different mental health issues, form an unlikely relationship while being patients at a mental institution. Although the story is highly unusual, and often times bizarre, it also had moments of great depth of love and warmth. The performances by the two actresses were absolutely spot on, and worthy of time spent watching.πππππ</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">That's it for now.
