Added Steve’s Jessica Chastain YouTube video to this channel. Our thoughts found on his channel…found below.
“And the final Jessica for the week. I have seen 23 of the 26 movies. Wow…you have two more movies than me…that does not happen too often. Favorites would include #1 Interstellar….though I have only seen that movie one time, #2 The Martian….one of WoC’s all-time favorite movies, #4 The Help…though it is getting destroyed by the politically correct police these days. #13 Miss Sloane…great courtroom drama with a great ending. Good video. Voted up and shared.”
Hi Bruce, yep Jessica week is over. I’ve never seen The Help but I have read about it. I’ll give Miss Sloane a look next time it pops up on cable.
Chastain has appeared in two highly rated sci-fi epics – The Martian and Interstellar, both very successful too. One of the two has fanatical fans and you know which one that is. They won’t be happy with Zero Dark Thirty topping this chart.
Your tally 23 out of 26, I’ve seen 11. Thanks again for the comment, share and vote, always appreciated.
So two weeks ago it was “Jennifer” week, last week it was “Jessica” week….is the upcoming week going to be “Julie” or “Julia” week?….lol. Interstellar did not do as well in my review % research….granted it is reviews and audience voting from 2014…..maybe the Nolan crowd has gotten those review numbers up over the last 6 years. Good stuff.
