My Movie Reviews
WELCOME TO MY MOVIE BLOG!
Films are grouped in the years that I see them rather than the year they were first screened at some film festival or in some other country, etc. Unlike my earlier lists, they will not be ranked from most to least liked but, instead, will be posted in order as I see them. Therefore, I have created a basic ranking system. Unfortunately, there was no star wingding to use, so I decided to go with the ◊ symbol; it’s simple, star-like and I am amused by the fact that it’s called a lozenge in this program. So, my films will be ranked by lozenges as follows:
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ A brilliant must-see movie, destined to be a classic
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ I loved this film; it was one of my favorites of the year
◊ ◊ ◊ I enjoyed this film and am glad I saw it; it was worth the ticket
◊ ◊ This movie was okay but it may be better as a rental
◊ I really should have skipped it
No Lozenge It objectively sucked; It actually made me angry

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the fact that there are a lot more really talented young female actors than males. Just off the top of my head, I can name Elizabeth Olsen (23 years old), Jennifer Lawrence (22), Dekota Fanning (18) and Chloe Moretz (15). All of them stunningly talented and working like gang-busters. Can anyone name even one equally talented male actor under 25? Michael Cera? He plays his one, very funny, character well but that’s it. Jesse Eisenberg (who’s actually 27) has more range but is basically the same. Shia LaBeouf? I liked him in “Holes,” I guess. Jamie Bell certainly takes risky roles but is he as good as the young women above? The best young male actor I can think of is Joseph Gorden-Leavitt, who’s 31. He was brilliant in “Mysterious Skin,” but he now does stuff that requires little acting skill. Where is the young male talent in Hollywood? Any thoughts?
