Love at first sight strikes when young Tony spots Maria at a high school dance in 1957 New York City. Their burgeoning romance helps to fuel the fire between the warring Jets and Sharks — two rival gangs vying for control of the streets.

Q tips say: We enjoyed it. Was nice to see Rita Moreno in this movie, not in the lead role as the original West Side Story but a secondary role – she was good.

More enjoyable when one sees the play at a Playhouse live than on TV.

2/26/22 – House of Gucci is inspired by the shocking true story of the family behind the Italian fashion empire. When Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), an outsider from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family, her unbridled ambition begins to unravel the family legacy and triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately… murder.

Q-tips say: See it – can be slow going at times but still a fascinating story.

Mrs. Q says: Lady Gaga’s performance was outstanding. A good cast of American actors speaking with Italian accents makes this movie interesting. Yes, there are sub-titles, if needed.

Lady Gaga, Adams Driver, Al Pacino & others make this movie stylish, silly, messy & over the top – but enjoyable.

2/25/22 –

Years after an unspeakable tragedy tore their lives apart, two sets of parents (Jason Isaacs and Martha Plimpton, Reed Birney and Ann Dowd) agree to talk privately in an attempt to move forward. In Fran Kranz’ writing and directing debut, he thoughtfully examines their journey of grief, anger and acceptance by coming face-to-face with the ones who have been left behind.

Q-tips say: Good movie. The film is a very powerful depiction of loss, forgiveness, and the coming together of two sides.

Mrs. Q says: Mass is NOT a “feel good, happy, humorous movie.” Mass is a story that proves how open-hearted conversation can lead to healing, even after a terrible tragedy & is most moving when they’re simply listening. Seems, now a days, many people don’t simply listen to what others have to say but continue to interrupt when a someone is speaking.

2/22/22 –

American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi), who went from a stockboy at a grocery store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback. The film centers on Warner’s unique story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player — but just when his dreams seemed all but out of reach, it is only with the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin) and the encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that Warner perseveres and finds the strength to show the world the champion that he already is. American Underdog is an uplifting story that demonstrates that anything is possible when you have faith, family and determination.

Q-tips say: Yes, see it. It is the story of a good man simply being true to himself.

Mrs. Q says: At first, I thought it was just another football story. American Underdog is much more than that. Yes, there is football but also a story about real life & every day occurrences. Mrs. Q was especially taken aback by the relationship with the NFL player & the blind son of is future wife. Also, when the little girl of his wife, asked the NFL player, “daddy, will you dance with me,” at wedding of Brenda & Warner.

See it, you might really enjoy it, football & all.
