A Star is Born is an amazing musical drama. This is the best acting I've seen from Rocket Raccoon & Mother Monster. The entire cast is great, and everyone brings their all. If you're up on your Gaga Lore you'll notice the movie is very autobiographical, from the Gay Bars, the nose, to the Pop songs, the Italian father, even the relationship troubles. The Soundtrack is Superb, and you'll be humming these songs for days. You'll laugh. You'll ugly cry. Stay for the end-credits songs by Lady Gaga & Jackson Maine. I give this Monster Ball a "Two Paws Way Up" rating.

OPERATION FINALE is a great Historical Spy Thriller. It is based on the real life Israeli Mossad mission to capture the Nazi officer Adolf Eichmann, 15 years after World War II. Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley's back & forth are a Highlight. Though light on action, it has good espionage & intrigue. Like many war movies, there are some disturbing scenes & language. A few fun jokes are sprinkled in to help relieve the black-ops tension. Entertains you, yet leaves you pensive about a great many things: the violent nature of man, the effects of World Wars, do two wrongs ever make a right? There is a brief Epilogue before the credits showing you the real Malkin & Eichmann. I give this cloak-and-dagger a Solid, "Shaken, Not Stirred" rating.

PAPILLON is a great story of hope, friendship, & survival. See Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek as you've never seen them before, as they transformation into the frail, yet unbeatable, Henri "Papillon" Charrier and his friend Louis Dega. Based on the memoir of the real 1930's safe-cracker, Hunnam is framed for murder and forced to live out his days in the heinous conditions of a French Guainan labor camp. There is little to laugh about in this prison. The fights are visceral and brutal. The only glimmer of hope throughout is Papillon and Degas' friendship, as it grows while they struggle to stay alive and sane as forgotten men in the pits of Hell. You'll leave this one feeling inspired by the human spirit, and happy in the knowledge that nothing you are currently experiencing is as bad as what these two poor souls had to endure. There is a brief Epilogue before the credits showing you the real Papillon. I give this struggle a Solid, "Butterfly in the Sky, I Can Fly TWICE as High", rating. #Papillion #GioseesMovies #RatedR
