Boyhood Bifocal Reviews by Ageless1der Barbara Rich & The Other Guy (BR) Boyhood took a little too long to get into, and by the time I got to know this family I was restless in my seat. It was too long. It seemed like I was binge watching a modern day series of The Waltons. I […]
American Sniper Bifocal Review written by Ageless1der Barbara Rich & The Other Guy (BR): Of most of the films I’ve ever seen, this was one of the hardest to watch. It is not the physical torture or blood and guts that bothered me the most. Though this is not my kind of movie to begin […]
Bifocal Reviews by Ageless1der Barbara Rich & The Other Guy On a scale of one to four binoculars, Barbara Rich, a sizzling, seventy-something senior known as Ageless1der to those who know her, offers her film reviews and reviews about everything “entertainment” with her husband and writing partner known as The Other Guy. Because, let’s face […]
The Imitation Game – Bifocal Reviews by Ageless1der Barbara Rich & The Other Guy (BR) Well, it’s about time! The Imitation Game story is long overdue. After seeing The Imitation Game, I feel deprived of knowing about the tremendous part Alan Turing played in history. Such genius, brilliance, and suffering through the life of Alan Turing deepened […]
Unbroken Movie: Bifocal Reviews by Ageless1der Barbara Rich & The Other Guy (BR) I think it was necessary and important that the story behind the film Unbroken be told, even though this is not a movie that I can say I enjoyed. Louie Zamperini’s display of courage and exceptional fortitude powered him through the most grueling tortures, […]
Big Eyes Movie – Bifocal Reviews by Ageless1der Barbara Rich & The Other Guy (BR): I wanted to see Big Eyes, because I actually owned two Big Eye, Keane posters way back when. Also, if you’ve been reading any of my reviews you know that I love a true story. This movie just does not […]
The Theory of Everything – Stephen Hawking (B) I had been waiting anxiously to see this film. There is no single word that adequately describes Stephen Hawking. Terms and phrases like genius, or brilliant or one of kind fall short, and that would be WITHOUT the handicap! Combining this mental genius and his physical limitations only […]
“Short Shorts” – The Royal Teens By Lee Silver “Short Shorts” is a song for all generations as it was the jingle used for the 1987 Nair commercial, one of the longest running commercials, about 40 years. This is the true story about how the songs originated as told by Lee Silver, producer of the song […]
Bifocal Review: The Drop by “Ageless1der” Barbara Rich & The Other Guy (BR): I just wanted to get a break from the intense heat and cool down in the theater. I was pleasantly surprised. Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace are well cast in this film. Tom Hardy, especially impressed me with his quiet yet powerful delivery, very […]
Bifocal Review: And So It Goes by Ageless1der Barbara Rich and The Other Guy (BR): And So It Goes was a senior version of When Harry Met Sally, only not as good. It was amusing and entertaining (to some degree) and very predictable. Other than being directed by Rob Reiner, and having Michael Douglas and Dianne Keaton […]
