I had reservations before going, but swayed by the many enthusiastic reviews I was curious as to what all the fuss was about, and soon had no regrets at all about spending money and time on it. It really is that good.

It looks like somehow you got the name of my old blog as the title of your blog list. Sorry I'm such a problem. I blame Blogspot. Wish I could be more helpful.

It's a fairly obvious scenario, and very effectively achieved on the big screen. While it played I thought it should work well on the stage, just the two, maybe three actors, required - plus appropriate sound effects. Voila!<br /><br />Meanwhile, no such reservations about 'Parasite', as long as you're aware of their being some gory bits, though not enough to really put you off (I hope)..Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-91730783164096253352020-02-18T08:04:28.090-08:002020-02-18T08:04:28.090-08:00My advice is simple, Mitch.

Acting was also v.good indeed. But I did think 'Parasite' had the edge in being a perfectly well-rounded product and brilliantly crafted entertainment. But that's only my one person opinion.<br /><br />Wish I'd given 'Lighthouse' a miss. 'Intense' to the point of near-overwhelming, I'll bear the scars fr some time yet! ;-)Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-82178553646720880832020-02-18T04:22:32.459-08:002020-02-18T04:22:32.459-08:00I will definitely look out for this.

Failing that, on TV as a last resort, just make sure you're not likely to have interruptions.<br /><br />I've had a quick look at your blog, and I must say it promises to be worth following. I've tried to do just that but somehow it didn't 'take'. I'll try again later, but in any case I'll definitely be having further looks.<br /><br />I've also noted with considerable pleasure your inclusion of a good half dozen among your favourite film of some I also rate very highly. I'll only mention for now 'Fargo' 'Hannah', 'Amelie', 'The Birds'.....We're going to have quite a bit to talk about! :-)Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-79828226293527113972020-02-17T09:00:58.139-08:002020-02-17T09:00:58.139-08:00Raymondo

The usually show one movie a week and only on the weekend. They actually played this film there way before any Oscar buzz and we missed it. I regret not seeing it and will have to watch it whenever it is available on our TV. Looking forward to it. <br /><br />Shameless Plug: My hubby and I are currently on a cross-country trip that I'm blogging about at www.blogmarkblog.com. Check it out.
