Talk about AWESOME. Been a long time since I saw a movie that gave you that "Good feeling" while watching it. The movie was made like the old days but with using today's tech. It was even filmed in "CinemaScope." CinemaScope is an anamorphic lens series used, from 1953 to 1967, and less often later, for shooting widescreen movies The colors were spectacular and the camera movement was superb.

Andrew Neiman's determined to become one of the greatest jazz drummers of all time. To get there he'll have to survive the teaching of a ruthless mentor. and oh my, that is a understatement!
Miles Teller's (Andrew) total investment in his performance means viewers are no longer just viewers, we are also witnesses, and it's this intensity that makes…
Licorice Pizza is among the funniest, warmest, most nostalgic films of 2021. Set in the California Valley in the early 1970's, Licorice Pizza almost has a feel of another classic coming of age movie only set 10 years earlier, in the early 1960's....American Graffiti. Only now California has Waterbeds, pinball machines, gas shortages, entrepreneurial frenzy happening.
Also like American Graffiti, Licorice Pizza has many newer actors like Cooper Hoffman and Alana Haim and her entire real family.
The characters work…
