SIRENS – Not what I expected and not very good. I was looking forward to a supernatural fantasy story. After all, sirens were mythical beauties who would sing with enchanted voices to lure sailors to their deaths. Instead this was a corny, soap opera thing with no plot, no intelligent dialogue and no fantasy. IContinue reading

THE PITT – Phenomenal show!! Exceptional work! Deserving of all the accolades it has received! Need I say more? Glasses high folks. Cheers!! Boyfriends – 3; Girlfriends – 2.

SINNERS – Mike and Anna loved it. John hated it. He said it’s a remake of From Dusk to Dawn, which he also hated. I thought it had some appeal for awhile until a vampire extravaganza turned into a zombie brigade and then it lost me. I’m not a fan of zombie stories, but IContinue reading

THE NAKED GUN – Disappointing 2 out of 4 stars for this remake of the original film starring Leslie Nielsen. We were excited to watch this new version starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, and we weren’t expecting it to be as good as the first…and it wasn’t. In fact it was just plain bad.Continue reading

WAKE UP DEAD MAN – The third release in the Knives Out Mystery Movie series starring Daniel Craig, who by the way, is super hot in this one with his long blond hair and stubbly beard. Josh Brolin is also hot with his long silvery hair and stubbly beard, cast as a priest gone rogue.Continue reading

SPINAL TAP II – Pretty much a rehash of the first Spinal Tap film with our favorite pretend band assembled by the great, and tragically late, Rob Reiner. I don’t remember much of the first one….just that it was very funny and I liked it a lot. Mike says this one is okay with someContinue reading

THE BEAST IN ME – Compelling psychological thriller starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys. Rhys is outstanding as a menacing, deviant, predatory animal and his performance is appropriately unnerving. His character occasionally displays a sensitive, caring quality which adds dimension and realism, and makes him much more dangerous. Claire Danes always turns out good work,Continue reading

THE LAST SHOWGIRL – I disliked this film and could barely sit through it. The main character, played by Pamela Anderson, is needy and desperate and always speaks in an annoying childish voice. Jamie Lee Curtis plays a character similar to her role in The Bear. She deserved the Emmy for that role. I wasn’tContinue reading

THE MORTICIAN – Macabre, true crime tale of repulsive acts committed on human remains by fiendish California mortician David Sconce. Operating out of a crematorium in Pasadena during the 1980s and 90s, it is despicable what he was able to do undetected for so long. Even more despicable is when he was finally arrested, heContinue reading

ONE SHOT WITH ED SHEERAN – this hour long music experience with Ed may have been filmed in one continuous take, but there was definitely staging going on. Plus I don’t see how some camera angles could have been shot in one take. Still, Ed Sheeran fans (which we are) will find his jaunt throughContinue reading
