Movie Reviews
The Favourite is a sharp-tongued costume drama with a delirious, disorienting edge1. A.V. Club
2. Katie Rife
3.7/10
4. Acting, cinemotography, story.
5. Looses interest in the second act.
6. "A frothy comedy would be a sucker punch in its own right coming immediately after The Killing Of A Sacred Deer (2017) Lanthimos’ bone-chilling domestic thriller. The Favourite is more than that. It’s got the venomous insults, the nimble comebacks, the backstabbing, the sex, the costumes, the sets, and everything else you could ever want from a viciously witty period piece. But this deliciously nasty riff on the Jane Austen tradition also has an absurdist streak that, along with its aggressively stylized camerawork, provides an unpredictable high-wire thrill all its own."
Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma is a beautiful if incomplete tribute to the women who raise us
1. A.V. Club
2. Danett Chavez
3. I would give this review a 6/10.
4. Cinematography, Acting.
5.Story.
6."The result is a little too rose-tinted an homage, but Roma is still an exceptionally moving story, as well as another technical feat from Cuarón. There’s no indication that taking over for Lubezki put any undue strain on him—the impressive long takes are here, revealing all kinds of life (and danger) in the center of Mexico City and the neighboring small towns. They’re complemented by lateral pans that occasionally spin out, only to return to the calm center provided by Cleo, whose inspiration must have offered the same kind of consistency for Cuarón, a child of divorce. His gratitude is obvious, the camera fairly doting on Cleo as she moves through the comfortably cluttered apartment in Colonia Roma, the upper-middle-class neighborhood in the Mexican capital where Cuarón spent his childhood, and which lends the movie its title."

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/11/sports/toronto-raptors-brooklyn-nets.html
The headline of the article is "Toronto’s Kawhi Leonard Banks Home Game-Winner Against Nets."
The Toronto Raptor won against the Nets with the final score being 127-125. Some sports jargon in the article is 3 pointers, baskets, and home meetings. Adjectives are N/A. The article is a recap because it goes over a game that happened recently. The article goes over the names of the players by listing the names of the people on the team and saying how many baskets they made.
