It’s been a while. I’ve been mostly watching Hallmark Christmas movies lately, but I did make time for a few regular movies.
The Last Letter from Your Lover - Felicity Jones plays a journalist tasked with writing an article about the editor of the paper who has recently died. While doing research, she finds a misplaced love letter that starts her down the path of finding out more about the lovers and their story. The film goes back and forth in time between the 1960s and the present day. Shailene Woodley, Callum Turner, Joe Alwyn, and Nabhaan Rizwan, among others, are in the cast. It was good.
AKA Jane Roe - Norma McCorvey consented to interviews prior to her death in which she explains how she went from pro-choice to pro-life and back again. It was interesting.
Belfast - Kenneth Branagh wrote this semi autobiography about life in Belfast, Northern Ireland during the late 1960s, when The Troubles began. Caitriona Balfe, Jamie Dornan, Judy Dench, Ciarán Hinds and Jude Hill star in this film. It’s very good.
King Richard - The film tells the story about how the father of Venus and Serena Williams had a strict plan he followed to make them championship professional tennis players. Jamie Foxx plays Richard Williams. I really liked it.
Being the Ricardos - Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem star in this film, playing the iconic pair - Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. In one week in the life of the couple, we watch them put out many fires that threaten their professional lives and their marriage. It was very good!!
