Lee (15): A biopic of an amazing woman that really deserves to be a mini-series.

One Mann's Movies FIlm Review of "Lee". Kate Winslet excels in this biopic of war photographer Lee Miller. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Lee” (2024). A passion project for Kate Winslet, “Lee” lays out the fascinating life story of war photographer Lee Miller. It’s a majestic film and one for which Kate Winslet might well be in with a shout for an Oscar Nomination. Bob the Movie Man Rating: Plot Summary: Lee Miller (Kate Winslet) is an aging Vogue model.

Romancing the Stone (1984). A mousy romance novelist sets off for Colombia to ransom her kidnapped sister, and soon finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure hunting for treasure with a mercenary rogue.

I've never really enjoyed Michael Douglas as a romantic lead, but man, he crackles in this one, in no small part because he and Kathleen Turner have such great chemistry. She gets the richer character arc, but he gets satisfying beats to play opposite her and it makes them a pretty fun dynamic to watch. The movie definitely falls into era-typical sexist and racist tropes, which can be jarring, but outside of that, it's the sort of adventure-rom-com I wish Hollywood was still making. 7/10.

28-year-old Steven Soderbergh’s follow-up to Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989) was released on 15 November 1991.

Written by Lem Dobbs, the film mixed biographical details of Franz Kafka’s life with elements from his stories, which confused many critics and audience alike. The film was a box office disappointment, but Dobbs and Soderbergh continued to work together (The Limey and Haywire), and in 2020 Soderbergh announced that they had revisited Kafka, writing new scenes and re-editing old ones, creating a new film, Mr. Kneff, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2021.
