THE MUNSTERS – Stupid. An insult to the original Munsters. Skip it.

SQUID GAME – Kelly liked it, although she found it intense and violent. Linda says she sort of liked it, but it was weird. I can’t get through the first episode. The overacting (both on screen and in the voice dubbing) is impossible to endure. Skip it.

DAHMER Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story – excruciatingly slow, dull and boring first episode. Done. A horrifying true story reduced to a yawn. Skip it.

INSIDE THE MIND OF A CAT – Fun facts about felines which you may not know. That is to say, facts that cats would not allow you to know! This hour-long peek into cat behavior may give you a clue as to why cats do what they do….or don’t. Let’s face it…they’re still cats…and catsContinue reading

ELVIS – this HBO film chronicles the career of Elvis Presley from humble beginnings at Sun Records until his death in 1977. The focus of the film is his unfortunate relationship with his manager, Col. Tom Parker, played by Tom Hanks. I have no idea if Hanks’ performance is an accurate portrayal of Parker sinceContinue reading

THE CARD COUNTER – Slow-paced film that turned on a dime about three quarters of the way through and kept me riveted from that point on. Incarcerated for atrocities he committed in the military police at Abu Ghraib, William Tell becomes expert at card counting and puts this skill to good use once released fromContinue reading

It’s chock full of recognizable actors – Matt Smith (Prince Philip in The Crown), Graham McTavish and Bill Paterson (Dougal & Ned Gowan in Outlander) and Eva Best (Dr. Eleanor O’Hara in Nurse Jackie).Continue reading

MANIFEST – A commercial airliner flies into an unprecedented severe storm and flies out five years later. The twist – for the passengers of Flight 828, it’s only been a matter of minutes. And they emerge from the ordeal with clairvoyant abilities and spiritual callings as they try to reconnect with family and friends whoContinue reading

ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN – I’ve always wanted to watch this film, but somehow never got around to it. Now I have. I was particularly interested in viewing it at this point in time as many comparisons have been made over the last several years between the political corruption in the 70s and the politicalContinue reading

DAVE CHAPPELLE: WHAT’S IN A NAME – I have never been a fan of Dave Chappelle’s comedy, but Kelly insisted the peeps watch this so we did. It’s about 40 minutes of Dave addressing students, faculty and alumni at his high school alma mater, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in New York. KellyContinue reading
