Judy (2019)


 

Legendary performer Judy Garland arrives in London in the winter of 1968 to perform a series of sold-out concerts. 

Renée Zellweger does her best to portrait Judy Garland in all her complexity, but this biopic focused on the star's final time in London barely conveys the sad vagaries and tragedies of its star's life and career.

Appaloosa (2008)



Two friends hired to police a small town that is suffering under the rule of a rancher find their job complicated by the arrival of a young widow.

Nicely photographed and played elegiac revisionist Western celebrates old-fashioned men's bonding and honor which includes a good slice of misogyny as well.

Maltin**: "Fairly simple story...takes an awfully long time to spin out. Harris and Mortensen make a great team, and their friendship is the most interesting aspect of this long-winded film."
