One Sentence Movie Reviews

Marriage Story - I like Adam Driver and I like Scarlett Johansson but I don't get the hype, all I could think of was ABC Afterschool Special.

Disney+ has a great one in Togo, the story of the real hero of a 1925 diphtheria serum run to Nome, Alaska. While Balto received the lion's share of the glory and a statue in NYC's Central Park, he actually only ran the final 30 miles, the same distance several other dog sled teams ran before his relay hand-off on the home stretch. Undersized and pushing old age for a sled dog, Togo's initial run covered 250 of the most dangerous miles. He even managed to pull the sled and team behind him to safety in a broken ice flow. That narrative, mixed with the developing relationship between him and his owner/trainer, makes for an immensely satisfying film.

Brevity is golden. Title and one line that sums up why we should or shouldn't care about the movie.

One of my pet peeves, sadly. I never use or even attempt to decipher them. Just a fingernails on chalkboards thing with me. I think texting is ruining the language...

So, instead, here's a new review.

Aladdin: rubs the wrong way. :L.
