Merry Christmas! Because Christmas is one of the biggest film-going days of the year, I decided to move up my movie reviews and will post a book review on December 28. BTW-This is the first time all movies are rated four stars in the same post.
The Danish Girl
The Danish Girl
Rated R
The Danish Girl is
the fictionalized story of Lili Elbe, the first identifiable patient to receive
gender reassignment surgery. Born
Einar Wegener in 1882, Elbe attended art school at the Royal Danish Academy of
Fine Arts where he met and married fellow artist Gerda Gottlieb. After living openly as a woman, Elbe
eventually agreed to a series of experimental surgeries.
This film is beautifully done, and the cast and crew will be
the recipients of many awards this season. The sets are beautiful, the acting is superb, and the story
is compelling. To me, The Danish Girl is a must-see film!
Spotlight
Rated R
Based on a true story, Spotlight
tells the story of a tenacious group of Boston Globe reporters who spent a year
investigating sexual abuse allegations involving Boston priests. What they discovered was years of abuse
and cover ups by church officials, law enforcement and the legal system.
I went into Spotlight
expecting to be a bit bored in this dialog-heavy production. Instead, I found an absolutely riveting
film that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Spotlight,
too, will be recipient of many awards this season.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens

I don't want to give anything about this movie away, so I'll just say, "If you like Star Wars, this is a must-see movie!"
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Rated PG-13

I don't want to give anything about this movie away, so I'll just say, "If you like Star Wars, this is a must-see movie!"
