Three sentence movie reviews: Mad Men Season 7, Part II

mad men s7 part II

I found myself more impatient with these episodes, for which I blame the long wait between parts I and parts II of the final season.*  I was pleased with the way the series wrapped up for some of the characters,** less so with others.  I find myself wondering what the point of the show was, and now want to watch everything again from the beginning.***

Cost: free from library.  (I was monitoring the catalog, so I could be among the first to place a hold, but I missed it by a day and ended up 275th or something.  So it was a long wait.)
Where watched: at home.

*I mean really, the show ended for good in May, the DVD should have been available the very next day.   And there was also no need to split the season in two.
**Joan, Peggy, Roger, Ken.
***Tentatively planned for spring and summer 2016, but I may have wandered off to something else by then.  If I do, I’m going to keep a list of who sleeps with who. I imagine it will be a quite lengthy list.

Three sentence movie reviews: Cinderella

cinderella_ver3

I picked this as the featured film for the MAunts to watch after we had our Christmas Eve Eve Dinner and it held up, both for a second viewing for me, and a first viewing for them.  This time I had even more time to look a costumes*.  I also am reminded that I don’t really do very well in real life being kind and having courage, but perhaps a second viewing of this film will help me to remember.

Cost: $4.99 from Videorama (I got it for five days)
Where watched: at home with Mom and Aunts

*Cate Blanchette’s 40s-inspired dresses, the wicked stepsisters 50’s-inspired technicolor look!
