Wuthering Heights (#740)


I'm back!!! Sorry for my absence. In addition to rehab for my broken patella, my eyesight has been deteriorating (close up), and it was difficult to see what I was writing. I am now a client of Vision Corps, a state and federally funded organization helping the visually impaired with equipment and ideas to help.  So I'm back to writing and have a lot of films to catch up on--several  months worth if I can remember them. And I apologize in advance for any and all typos. My most recent film was WUTHERING HEIGHTS. I never read the book and don't recall seeing an earlier film version, but I seriously doubt if any female author including Emily Bronte wrote a book depicting the sexuality of this film in the mid-1800s. The movie is visually attractive as are the lead actors, Margot Robbie and some guy who portrays Heathcliffe, a laborer on the estate where she lives. Briefly, she rejects him, he leaves, she marries, he returns, mysteriously now wealthy, and they satisfy their sexual needs until he leaves again. I found the whole thing boring. Critics weren't impressed. Only 57% gave it a thumbs up along with 76% of audiences. My advice? Stay home.

    Welcome back! First off, sending best wishes for your patella recovery and for adjusting with the help of Vision Corps. Emerald Fennell's *Wuthering Heights* with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi definitely leans into high-concept melodrama over Emily Brontë's original gothic tone, so it's easy to see why the response felt so mixed. When taking a break after catching up on movie reviews and film blogs, streaming live shows and entertainment on xuper tv keeps unwinding quick and easy. Great to have you back writing!

    So glad to see you back posting! Fennell's choice to turn *Wuthering Heights* into a steamy, stylized period piece definitely raised eyebrows—especially comparing it to traditional literary adaptations. Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie certainly bring star power, but if the story pacing doesn't connect, no amount of glossy cinematography can save it. For film lovers who like keeping background movie streams or cinema podcasts playing on a tablet, having the xuper tv app ready makes streaming super smooth. Thanks for sharing your review!

    Welcome back to blogging! It sounds like Vision Corps is providing some fantastic support. Your take on *Wuthering Heights* hits the nail on the head—Brontë’s 1847 novel was intense and dark, but this 2026 version definitely took major modern liberties with the romance and themes. Whether relaxing at home after catching up on film write-ups or streaming live TV channels on your phone, downloading the txupertv apk gives you instant access to live streams anywhere. Looking forward to your upcoming catch-up reviews!

    Wonderful to have you back writing posts! Health and vision updates take priority, but it's great to hear Vision Corps is helping out. A 57% critic score really reflects how divided audiences were on Fennell's controversial take on Catherine and Heathcliff. After spending the evening catching up on cinema blogs, movie reviews, and entertainment news, kicking back with super tv for live channels and evening shows is my favorite way to end the day. Take care and keep the reviews coming!

    Catching up on personal film reviews after a long hiatus is a wonderful way to reconnect with fellow movie lovers, even when recent period-drama adaptations fall short of expectations. When taking a break from writing cinematic breakdowns and adjusting your daily routine, grabbing the moto wheelie 3d game provides a fun, lighthearted way to relax and pull off awesome motorcycle stunts on your device. Sharing candid movie opinions keeps film blogging lively and authentic for dedicated readers.

The Fabulous Four (#580)

I avoided the crowds yesterday by opting not to see the latest Marvel Comics release Deadpool & Wolverine (which I plan to see on Wednesday) and instead went to see a movie I really didn't want to see.  I am always apprehensive about the movies starring women embarked on a quest to do something different.  THE FABULOUS FOUR starred, among others, Susan Sarandon and Bette Midler.  I must report that, in my opinion, neither the stars nor the movie were fabulous.  This was a stinker with a capital S.  It's about 4 girls who bond in New York City way back when and are the closest of friends.  One of them, Midler, now lives in Key West and invites two of them to be bridesmaids at her upcoming wedding.  She is estranged from the fourth one, a surgeon named Lou (? spelling), estranged because years before she married a man that Lou was in love with.  He subsequently died.  Are you following this?  They dupe Lou into coming with them, explai...

Civil War (#541)

Because I have been expounding my theory about the upcoming presidential election to anyone crazy enough to listen to me, (my theory being that no matter who wins the election, there is going to be a civil war in this country), I was profoundly interested in the movie I saw today.  Its premise and point of view are cloudy because there is no explanation for the "war," what it's about, why it started and who are the players.  Initially, the president speaking to the nation talks about the resurrectionists (is that a valid word?) in Texas and California, and the ones in Florida trying to persuade the Carolinas to join the rebellion, but later a newscaster reports on the Russians invading Washington, DC, and demanding total surrender at the White House. That is, if I was hearing things correctly.  Perhaps it was the rebels in the White House.  The movie, well directed and remarkably well and realistically filmed, does not appear to have any political bent or motivation....

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (#473)

Well, I did it! — because I didn’t  want to disappoint some of my grandchildren who would have been disappointed if I hadn’t gone since they chide me endlessly for my liking Taylor Swift.  So, despite misgivings — possible crowds and long lines, it wasn’t included with my unlimited subscription so I ha to pay and i would miss some football — I went to the 11:30 a.m. showing of TAYLOR SWIFT; THE ERAS TOUR, which was scheduled to be shown every half hour (and sometimes only 15 minutes) from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm.  I was more than mildly surprised; I liked it.  A lot!  Even though it was endless, lasting just short of three hours, it was spectacular.  The settings were incredibly creative, the band, dancers and singers were excellent, the choreography flawless, and Ms. Swift was remarkable, in energy, voice, enthusiasm and everything else.  The music, she explained, was from the five albums she released which were not associated with a tour, among them Red...

Killers of the Flower Moon (#475)

Image
I entered the theater yesterday with trepidation because I was faced with the prospect of a THREE AND A HALF HOUR movie, which is borderline extreme punishment!  Surprise!!  It was not any form of punishment; it was an excellent experience and never once felt too long or too boring.  In his introduction to KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, director et al Martin Scorcese explains he had wanted to do this film every since he read the book.  He did it with glorious cinematography, excellent scripting and first class performances by all the cast.  This, as many of you (but not me) know, is the story of the serial murder of indigenous people,  the Osage, in Oklahoma in the 1920s.  They are the wealthiest people in the world thanks to  oil found on their land, and certain people, lead by a sycophantic and duplicitous King Hale, a superb performance by Robert De Nero,  resent them.  Aided by his needy nephew, Ernest, played by Leonardo DiCaprio in hi...

Oddity (#579)

Image
I goofed again, as one of you kindly pointed out.  In my Twisters (plural) review, I identified the leading players as Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.  But they starred in Twister (singular) almost 30 years ago, snd I am reasonable certain one or more of them are dead or too old to stand up to a tornado. Sorry about that.  Despite my lukewarm review of Twisters, it was 30 times better than ODDITY, which I saw yesterday.  A young married woman is brutally murdered in a remote country house being renovated by the woman and her husband, a psychiatrist in local mental hospital.  The suspected murderer is a patient from that hospital but he ends up dead, too.  Along comes the woman's twin sister, who is not only a self-styled psychic but a collector of weird things.  And to add a twist, she is also blind which is why she can easily move freely though dark interiors.  She is suspicious of her sister's death and, in trying to get revenge for the murder, pays...
