Música (2024)
Different in a Great Way
Rudy Mancuso takes us on a tour of life with synethstisia and what a wild ride! Overwhelming, magical, frustrating -- the way the scenes are shot clearly convert his experiences. Combine that with a look inside the Brazilian community in Newark and love triangle and you have a completely entertaining movie.
Camila Mendez provides more than just a love interest role. She believes in Rudy and sees his potential, but at the same time she isn't willing to put up with his indecisiveness.
Minor quibble:
The lead characters are supposed to be in their early 20s but they don't really pull that off, especially Rudy.
Hijack (2023)
Surprisingly good
Would never have given this a try except a colleague at work recommended it. I'm glad he did. I thought this was an intelligent, well plotted, well produced, and very well acted thriller. The several subplots worked nicely. I especially liked the UK flight control lady.
There were a number of plot twists that left me gasping at first then smiling with pleasure. I was smiling because they were unexpected but plausible (with one exception near the end that I won't spoil). Now that all 7 episodes have aired, you can binge watch this in a sitting or two. Highly recommend it if you want to get pulled in to a tense story.
Much Ado About Christmas (2021)
Muddled but Attractive
A beautiful setting that is supposed to be somewhere in England but is clearly Bucharest. The indoor scenes are very nicely decorated. An attractive cast forced to chew through some pedestrian dialogue and head smacking plotting. It is snowing in every outdoor scene. The main characters fall madly in love in just a week.
