I FEEL PRETTY
Watchable. I'm still not a great fun of Amy Schumer since she doesn't really make me laugh. Yet she gets me thinking. Her comedies always convey some hidden message. This one is not concealed much. It's about whether our life success depends on our looks or on our self-esteem. However, what provided me with even more food for thought were the truthful remarks about high-end cosmetics consultants, who intimidate less attractive or less confident women, versus lower end buyers who make fun of bargain-hunting, unlike upper class women who just wouldn't shop in cheaper stores. What I found comforting was fat Amy getting upset with her beautiful slim friend feeling bad about herself: "Do you have every rib I have? Do you even have organs?"
BENZINHO (LOVELING)
Watchable. Not much of a story. However, it struck a chord with me since it told a story of a family where one member was going abroad "forever". The travel preparations were so authentic.
OCEAN'S EIGHT
Recommended. The heist has a double twist so the movie plot matches the original "Ocean's Eleven". The team comprises of women of different races. In the beginning we get the introduction of all the con artists, like in "Ocean's Eleven". It's Danny Ocean's sister's master plan this time. We see a picture of Danny who apparently died in 2018 "but it's not sure". An acrobat takes part like in the previous three "Ocean's" movies. Cameos by e.g. Anna Wintour, designs by giants like Fendi or Vivienne Westwood. McQueen is mentioned when the actress gives the tour of the exhibition. Right before the release of McQueen's cinematic biography.
