The Academy Awards have evolved into a virtue signalling, Hollywood, circle jerk, but I always check the list in case there is a good movie I missed or to see if we agree.
This has been a bad year for big budget movies, so movie reviewers are recommending movies that were overlooked. That’s how I ended up with Roofman.
It’s based on a true story about a guy who couldn’t get on track after leaving the Army. He started robbing fast food restaurants by cutting a holes through the roofs. When the cops were after him, he spent several months living inside a Toys ‘R’ Us store.
Early on in the movie, one aspect of the story was too incredible to suspend disbelief.
Christmas movies can be sappy or overly sentimental. The good ones are not. In It’s a Wonderful LIfe, George Bailey is a man who is knocked flat by life, and kills himself. The dark is necessary for a meaningful journey to the light.
