Film Reviews by DH

Liked it so much that we watched it twice. Brilliant and black satirical examination of gross hypocrisy in the US of A. Terrific. Great action as well but makes a real point as we watch the sickeningly social elites show their true and awful colors. Strong acting by everyone involved. Recommend it highly!

Cringe worthy. To see so many talented actors over-egging the parts was awful. At times it was so saccharine, the film made one's teeth hurt. There have been great versions of the Dickens masterpiece and this was definitely not one of them. Why add the racial dimensions to Dicken's very personal semi-autobiographical novel? For the sake of political correctness and inclusiveness? In fact, it subtracts and only makes for confusion. Why not put all the characters in wheel chairs or make Clara Peggotty, trans-gender. Truly awful. Watch the excellent earlier versions instead!

Superb film recounting the lives of two art lovers, one the Count Meternicht the German Officer during WWII in charge of preserving the art treasures of France and the other Director of the Lourvre. Despite being on different sides, together they worked to ensure that the treasures of the Louvre were protected and that they were NOT transported to Germany as Hitler's high command desired. Great history and great story told with imagination and verve especially the use of two ghosts who inhabit the great museum of France.
