DUMB MONEY
This is the story of the Game Stop short sell where individual investors made millions at the expense of Wall Street.
This is an absolutely wonderful film with a subject I have no interest in (I hate finance). I rate this as a good film instead of a great film because it never got me to get past my natural dislike of the financial con game to care about what was happening on the screen beyond the characters. THe characters are why you wan to see this.
ETERNAL MEMORY
Prominent Chilean couple Augusto and Paulina struggle with his Alzheimer's diagnosis. As Augusto struggles not to slip away, Paulina does everything she can to help him remember.
Deeply moving film is almost certain to be in the Oscar mix. Have tissues handy when you watch it.
BLACKBERRY
The rise and fall of the Blackberry smartphone.
Low key comedy drama is a hellish ride through life in a big corporation and their ability to wreck themselves as the clueless men at the top break things that don't need fixing.
I really liked it, though to be perfectly honest the hairdressing and costuming was distracting since it seemed like a dress up. Still worth a look.
BIRTH/REBIRTH
A coroner steals the body of a little girl to be the next one used in her attempt to raise the dead. She is successful but must use tissues from pregnant women to keep the child alive.
Dark and disturbing scifi horror film is one part Frankenstein and one part nightmare mixed into discussion of the things we do to remain alive.
This is creepy as all hell.
