Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
3.5 Hours Could Have Been Better Used
It's a shame that Martin Scorsese didn't better use the 3 1/2 hours in length. Glossing over the first important chapters of the book discussing oil head rights and conservatorships that the Osage tribe suffered under, undermined the story from the beginning as those two facts are the basis for everything that follows. Scorsese also missed a wonderful opportunity to expand on the intrigue of the investigation by federal agents leading up to the arrests. And while cast, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone, did a great job, the lack of cohesion and very unnecessary embellishments, which add nothing to the movie, lead to a disappointing and underwhelming movie at best.
Murder in Provence (2022)
They're Supposed to be French
It's an OK show, a little slow for me, But what I find most distracting is that the characters are supposed to be French. They have French last names, they live in a town in Provence, the signs are French, the police are supposed to be french but they are all English actors using English accents. It's just a misfit I find hard to get around.
