Here in Houston, we are about to enter a two-week 'stay-at-home' edict from Harris County.
What better time to look back at 2019 -- simpler times, when Tom Hanks' only worry was whether he was going to be in the Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor category for playing Mr. Rogers.
Ahh, 2019 .... the year I delayed posting my TOP TEN LIST, because I was waiting to see that elusive 10th movie to complete my list. But I never saw it! It is still out there, but will I ever see it?? Theaters are closed, and I have an aversion to watching movies on TV...
But the show must go on, even in these difficult times, so here is my TOP NINE MOVIE LIST!!
1. ONCE UPON A TIME . . . In Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino at his best!)
2. PARASITE (So. Korea) A worthy Oscar winner
3. PAIN & GLORY (Spain)-Almodovar'sAmarcord.
4. PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE (France) -- beautiful French film
5. LITTLE WOMEN--- Greta strikes again!
6 JOKER
7. 1917
8. The Irishman (Martin Scorsese)
9. A Hidden Life (Terence Malick)
SAW & ENJOYED:
Downton Abbey
Ford v. Ferrari
Jojo Rabbit
Marriage Story
Wild Rose
Ehhhh .... (movies I was disappointed in).
Bombshell
The Dead Don't Die
Yesterday
