Movie 1: A Complete Unknown
This biographical film about the early years of Bob Dylan is a fascinating look at a folk legend. It beautifully captures a very complicated life during very complicated times for the country. Timothee Chalamet’s performance is near miraculous and sure to win the Oscar. Our only mild criticism of this excellently acted movie is at two hours and twenty minutes it can feel a bit long.

Movie 2: Nosferatu
This is a remake from the 1922 classic of the same name. Back then it was seen as totally extraordinary. We found it a dark, poorly conceived vampire tale that was nearly impossible to follow. We should have walked out but didn’t. To be fair, many critics found this movie very good.

Movie 3: The Six Triple Eight
This is a fascinating and true story about the 688th Battalion, the only all black women’s Army unit that went to Europe during WWII. Produced by Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, this movie ensures that the bravery and heroism of these many hundreds of women will live on. Very good acting, especially by Kerry Washington. On Netflix.

Happy New Year! Thanks for the reviews. Keep them coming please.
We both loved A Complete Unknown. He captured Dylan’s attitude, voice persona. I wanted to see more of this film, not less.
Welcome home!
We loved The Six Triple Eight. Amazing that they fought through the terrible discrimination that they faced.
The Six Triple Eight is a true Winner. Thanks
