MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Dallas Buyers Club

Deb 10    Me 9

So this has been out for months and the theater is packed I haven't seen that kind of movie support since Senna. But a bunch of people is not always a good sign. In this case they were right, its a great movie. The star was so convincing, the rest of the cast just as excellent. Its a great story, its told well and kept me going all the way through. We saw How to Stop a Plauge several months ago and it was the nuts and bolts examination of fighting the AIDS epidemic. This was more the human side, a couple humans in particular and avoided too much technical info and just adhered to the story. Very well done!
