The 9th Life of Louis Drax

I'm utterly stunned by the negative reviews of this on Netflix, because I absolutely adored this. I thought it was a masterful blend of drama, thriller, fantasy, mystery, and maybe a little sci-fi as well. I haven't been impressed with Aaron Paul's work in film until now, but he was outstanding in this. I can see young Aiden Longworth having a long career ahead of him as well. The direction was stunning, and, even though I saw through the layers of mystery, I was completely captivated by this. I loved it, I really did. 4.5/5

Chef

Favreau gets everything right in this wonderful feel-good comedy about life, love & great food. I'm so hungry right now. 4/5

Lucky Them

What could have been a great story with a stellar cast instead felt mediocre & bland - could have used more color. 3/5

The Oranges

Possibly the most egregious examples of people behaving badly for no reason that I've seen in a while. Blech.

Love and Other Drugs

What's this? A rom-com that's funny & sweet with likable characters who don't hurt each other? Amazing! 4/5

Please Give

This was simply a bunch of damaged people doing damaging things to each other. Where was the comedy again? 2/5
