I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

Inspired by the imagination of P. T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business & tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation-WWW Rating: PG (for thematic elements including a brawl) Genre: Drama, Musical & Performing Arts Directed By: Michael Gracey Written By: Jenny Bicks, Bill Condon In Theaters: Dec 20, 2017  Wide Runtime: 105 minutes Studio: 20th Century Fox (From Rotten Tomatoes) Hugh Jackman And Michelle Williams' 'Greatest Showman' Just Broke A Box Office Record --- and they haven't counted the international audience yet. It is no secret that I've been wanting to watch this original musical ever since I have heard, read about it and seen some teasers.  If I'm not mistaken, this is the second team up of Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams, the first being DECEPTION ten years ago.  They have good onscree...

( from screencrush.com ) LOGAN, though very violent, is one of the best movies I have seen in my whole life.  There was no dull moment and it was very beautiful.  The story and direction by Mr. James Mangold is almost seamless.  Hugh Jackman's acting, as well as the rest of the troop, was very convincing.  I think he should be nominated for Best Actor in ALL the award giving bodies world wide.  Am I exaggerating or what?  Anyways, that's what I think. It was hard seeing Prof. X that way, but my goodness, he was playing the role of a strong-minded nonagenarian and he was good at it. Eriq La Salle(of ER fame)'s role was short, but very, very vital.   ( source) Laura Kinney/X-23 In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives,  being pursued by dark forces. Release ...

Finally, the long wait is over. We were able to watch X-Men: Days of Future Past. This connects X-Men: THE LAST STAND and X-Men FIRST CLASS to a brand new dimension.  The story was beautifully weaved and the acting was very convincing.  The special effects was stupendous.  If ever there were goofs, only the super keen would notice them. Reviews?   Thoughts on Eric's power, Raven's rage, Wolverine's awesomeness, Beast's strength, et cetera?   Well,  I'll leave them to the experts.  All I know is that I enjoyed watching this very much and I wouldn't mind watching it again. ;-)   There's just one complaint from the three of us that watched this at the same time.  We were all dizzy when the movie was over.   Oh well, we were so into it! ;-) Forbes Thought Of The Day “  We are rich only through what we give: and poor only through what we refuse and keep. ” — Anne Swetchine F...
