Q-Tips Reviews

ANORA is an audacious, and comedic variation on a modern day Cinderella story. It captivates as Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets and impulsively marries Vanya, the impetuous son of a Russian billionaire. However, when Vanya’s parents catch wind of the union, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage, setting off a wild chase through the streets of New York.

Q-tips say: Don’t waste your time watching this piece of crap.

The captions say this movie is:  Comedy/Drama/Romance – but it is none of these. Ani, a young sex worker, should be the warning that his movie is more of a porn movie than a comedy/drama/romance movie.

Mrs. Q says: Can’t find a single part I liked about it. I don’t think the script or the acting were that great. Most of the acting was obnoxious and unbelievable. The comedic aspect to it also wasn’t funny. I kept waiting for the movie to turn into something brilliant and have a brilliant moment. It just never got there.

I did not and still do not get the amount of praise it is getting, and the awards it is receiving.

Mrs. Q says: September 5 depicts the terrorist attack on the Israeli Olympic team in Munich from the standpoint of the news team. This movie is very powerful as it describes an important event in history, which is still relevant today.

Christmas is always a special time of the year, and it is full of presents, cookies, Santa Clause, and time with family. Take a look at “Christmas Through the Decades” as it explores the holiday, starting in the 1960s and JFK’s assassination; families missing their loved ones serving in Vietnam; and a live video broadcast from the Apollo 8 team. The 1970s brought figurines from a galaxy far far away and even saw a visit with Big Bird on Sesame Street. The ’80s brought the fall of the Berlin Wall, the walkman craze, and Cabbage Patch Kids, as well as the splendor of Clark Griswold’s light display, which rolled right into the 90s with Mikhail Gorbachev’s resignation on Christmas Day. The ’90s experienced many notable things, including desktop computers, Tickle Me Elmo, and the hottest and latest Beanie Baby toys. – Prime Video
