Director: Michael Almereyda His 14th Movie My 1st movie watched from the directorTesla is one of the most interesting and impactful people in our history, so it's crazy it took me this long to watch. I suppose the low ratings didn't help, but after watching I can't understand the low ratings. It took the tired biopic approach and tried many things differently with enough being a success. I couldn't quite buy Ethan Hawke in the role and some of the style choices didn't work for me and in the end I didn't get a clear understanding of what message the writer and director was trying to tell. So, it's not perfect but I'm really glad they finally made a movie about Tesla that at least gives a sense of the immense impact he has had on our modern world.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Eve Hewson Top Ten Performances - Kyle MacLachlan - Honorable Mention Biopics that tell the story of the USA __________ Location: Manhattan in NYC, NY, USA; Colorado Springs, CO, USA

Director: Anton Corbijn His 5th Movie My 5th movie watched from the directorThis is the perfect documentary for director Anton Corbijn, and he does not disappoint. This is not an amazing documentary, but it is purely enjoyable the whole way through and thorough... but not too thorough, as some documentaries on such specific subjects can get.Added to Lists: A Dozen Great Documentaries on Design __________

Director: Annabel Jankel Her 3rd Movie My 1st movie watched from the directorThis is a lovely story about a mother and son and about the mother's love for a doctor, both forced to hide their innate need for each other. A story benefitted from the female director. (Spoiler) It felt like a common story that was going to end in a depressing way, but instead we are relieved to see both characters escape even if they can't be together, which is sad yes, but the tone is one of hope and so much love.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Anna Paquin My Favorite Sapphic Stories My Favorite Sapphic Scenes A Kiss to End the Movie __________ Location: Unnamed town in Northern Scotland, UK

Director: Louis Leterrier His 3rd Movie My 6th movie watched from the directorThe first Transporter had some credibility and the stylized action scenes worked and the story and plot and characters were all decently created and well... it was a fucking movie. This "movie" was unnecessarily over-the-top in its characters, the stylized cameras and action, and the plot was stupid. Leterrier was let loose and all the wrong things happened. It's unfortunate because this could have a been a really cool series. Still, Statham is entertaining and awesome for his role, at least.Added to Lists: __________ Location: Miami, FL, USA

Director: Bob Fosse His 4th Movie My 4th movie watched from the directorThere is a lot going on in this movie loosely based on its director. It moves really well yet it's erratic, it's messy yet it's focused, it's self-promoting yet self-maligning, and it's kind of brilliant. "Jaws" may be Scheider's most well-known role, but this is definitely his best performance.Added to Lists: Top Ten Performances - Roy Schedier Dancing the Scene Away - Best Dance Scenes __________ Location: Midtown Manhattan, NYC, NY, USA

Director: David Fincher His 12th Movie My 12th movie watched from the directorThe movie has a really interesting first act where we witness the and hear about the strategies of a hired assassin; but then the rest of the movie is about cleaning up his mess and revenge killing. Each scene is its own character, in a way, but the main character never changes. Fassbender is purposely emotionless but because of that it never gets very interesting. It's pacing and tone reflects his profession and therefore there is not a lot of life in it. Never a bad movie, but never a great movie, something I expect from Fincher.Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - David Fincher Top Ten Performances - Michael Fassbender Cinema's Best Assassins __________ Location: Place du Pantheon, Paris, France; Dominican Republic; New Orleans, LA, USA
