Forget any other concert film you have seen, this one beat them all.
Highest level video and audio you can imagine. Feels like you are right there. Good closeups and camera angles.
In a monologue, she says "I wanted to make a show that showcased ALL my albums" But that would be 3.5 hours long! "Yes, and it's going to be called the Eras Tour" Dream it and it will happen.
She's come a long way from a teenager in country music, and I am sure has a lot higher to go.

I had heard this talked of as modern classic, but I thought it was a very uninteresting subject. Leonard Di Caprio is .. "Jordan Belfort"? Who cares!
So as a result, the movie had to be over the top with depictions of cocaine, prostitutes, orgies and cash thrown in the air to rain down.
Maybe it was new and different 10 years ago, but this was pretty boring for my tastes. Hard to take any of it seriously.
Basically a ripoff mashup of Wall Street and Goodfellas. Even the 80s decor seemed fake.

Directed by Martin Scorcese, it's a biopic of Howard Hughes, who in his time was a combination of Elon Musk and the Most Interesting Man in the World. He had an unlimited budget and exceeded it. He spent his money on women, airplanes and movies... wasted the rest!
The most fun parts for me were his famous girlfriends, Jean Harlow (Gwen Stefani), Katharine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett) and Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale).
Starring Leonardo Di Caprio and John C. Reilly.

Based on true events, it's another adaption of a Ben Mezrich book about the Game Stop short squeeze in 2020 ending January 2021. You will of course recognize his other movies: 21 and The Social Network.
Retail traders emboldened by boredom, lockdown and Reddit found value in $GME as well as an opportunity to Stick It to the Man. Hilarity ensues.
Starring Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, America Fererra, and Nick Offerman.
