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

OUTLANDER 5 – Frannie and I are settling in with our wee drams for the season 5 premiere of our favorite show. Beautiful music as always underscoring themes and characters. Happy to see they inserted some necessary major story events that were omitted last season. Case in point – the gathering on the ridge whereContinue reading

JOJO RABBIT – Okay all the peeps are together for this one, and we all agree it is a remarkable film. Humor, humanity and one extremely powerful scene where we all gasped in unison. The kid playing JoJo was great. So was the kid playing his friend. Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson were wonderful asContinue reading
