OUTLANDER 5 – Last night’s episode (#7) was riveting and heartbreaking, keeping closely to the book. My boyfriend, Murtagh, finally meets his end. Murtagh dies during the Battle of Alamance instead of on the battlefield at Culloden, but the same book dialogue between he and Jamie is written into the scene. I always enjoy hearingContinue reading

DR. SLEEP – Mike and I have wanted to see this film since it first opened in theatres. We were both fans of Stephen King’s book along with a few other peeps in our group. We finally had an opportunity under the coronavirus shelter-at-home orders. The film was proceeding fairly well until the end. IntendedContinue reading

THE KITCHEN – This film was awful. A one-star at best. I really wanted to like it because I worked on it, and if it hadn’t been for that, I would have turned it off after 10 minutes. Zero toasts and zero boyfriends.

OUTLANDER 5 – Frannie and I are in complete agreement this is the best episode of the season so far. I find the most interesting ones are always those that focus on family, time travel and the intertwining of relationships through the centuries. The same is true of the books. Cheers!! (No boyfriends in thisContinue reading

THE JOKER – This is not my kind of film, but Mike has wanted to watch this movie since forever, so the two of us sat down to view a few days ago. We only made it through half of the picture. The joker’s character was so disturbingly sad and pitiful, I couldn’t watch anyContinue reading

OUTLANDER 5 – Now y’all know Outlander is my favorite show. I would pay my own way to Scotland and work background just to be a part of it. And I’ve recently read the books. I find, though, that season 4 and now season 5 get harder to appreciate as the story becomes more denseContinue reading

THE OUTSIDER – Season Finale a bust. Lame ending. Really? All the main character had to do was hit the menacing entity in the head with a rock? Kelly said it was an hour she couldn’t get back after being mesmerized through the whole season. No toast.

ECHO IN THE CANYON – A documentary spearheaded by Bob Dylan’s son, Jakob. A great slice of musicians’ lives in the Laurel Canyon area of L.A. back in the 60s. Interviews with the original musicians intertwine with excerpts of their songs as well as excerpts of Jakob and his friends performing their songs in tribute.Continue reading

OUTLANDER 5 – Not much to chat about in episode two. Frannie as disgusted as Marsali by the amount of graphic blood and violence in tonight’s story. Not me. I find it makes the scenes realistic. I’m more bothered by the fact Marsali doesn’t call Claire “Mother Claire” as she does in the books whichContinue reading

THE OUTSIDER – Based on Stephen King’s novel, it’s intriguing so far. I find myself noticing specifically the mood music and camera angles. The music is an ideal compliment to the scene. The camera angles – innovative and unique. Holly, a quirky character who drives the story forward, draws me in by being just that.Continue reading
