    Mistress America 7/10



    This started off badly. It felt like an immature 80's movie, soundtrack included about people I wouldn't and couldn't care about. Almost turned it off.

    But as unlikable (at least to me) as the Brooke character especially is initially, she, Tracy and the movie begin to grow on you until the substance sneaks up on you.

    I don't know how much I agree withe the genre classification of 'Comedy' for it, as most of the laughing I did was either of the awkward or 'laughing at, not with' variety. And even those moments didn't occur often enough IMO to classify it as such. But as interesting character drama about two very different but similarly 'lost while finding their way' young women with some humorous moments, it's pretty decent and if nothing else, interesting.

    And the two female leads are exceedingly well acted.

    Blow has its moments...
    by George Bellefontaine
    In many respects this was an interesting film if the underbelly of the drug scene in the 70s and 80s intrigues you. There was certainly good acting here, especially by Johnny Depp, but I felt the filmaker was trying a little to hard to get sympathy for his lead character, particularly toward the end....

    Alien: Covenant--If you liked Prometheus (I did) but wanted a bit more "Alien" in it (most people, it seems, though I was fine with it as it was), then you'll...

    Most Memorable Moments in TV History
    by jimmyp58
    Thought I'd start a fun one regarding some of the tv moments most memorable to you. Some might be funny, some graphic and sad, some that are of historical significance (good or bad), and some that might have great meaning to some but are truly oblivious to others. This might be fun too for folks all...

    Petition for Disney to release 3D Blu-Rays in North America
    by Chris D
    For those who may not have noticed, Disney has for whatever reason decided to stop releasing most new Blu-Rays with 3D in North America. It would be one thing if the movie wasn't 3D capable. Or another thing if Disney just decided to abandon 3D altogether. But Disney is now releasing Blu-Rays around...

    Is RSX-1057 North America only?
    by bigburner
    I've noticed that the RSX-1057 only appears on Rotel's North America website, not on the Global website.

    Does anyone know if the RSX-1057 is available outside of the North America region?
