ARNOLD – Schwarzenegger’s life is a testament to the power of visualization and determination. Excellent documentary. Straight talk from Arnold. Great video of his mini horse and donkey which the peeps know are dear to my heart. Unanimous toasts. Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 2 (the mini horse and donkey).

STILL – Lovable Michael J. Fox takes us on the journey that has been his life, both charmed and challenging. Remarkably, his sense of humor and positive energy continue to shine despite his struggle to deal with the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Kelly and I were in awe of his courage, his ability toContinue reading
FUBAR – Hoping to replicate the success of True Lies, and based on the same premise, this NetFlix series has failed miserably. It had potential, but it has none of the charm and clever wit of the movie, nor the sizzle between Arnold and Jamie Lee. There is zero chemistry among the cast. The dialogueContinue reading
BEING MARY TYLER MOORE – Another mediocre documentary producing a timeline of events in Mary’s life while completely omitting the interesting stuff – like how she assisted the suicide of her terminally ill brother and her struggles with diabetes which made her life hell much of the time. As with Katharine Hepburn, I was awareContinue reading
THE SANDMAN – Neil Gaiman scores again in this small screen adaption of his graphic novel. The peeps are unanimous. Kelly and I toast the casting, especially of Dream and his sister Death. We found their relationship, and Dream’s relationship with the man he allows to live for hundreds of years, endearing. It was ourContinue reading
RED ROSE – British teenagers are lured into a sinister app with deadly results. Heavy English accents and supernatural overtones. Surprisingly, I liked it! Cheers! Boyfriends – 0; Girlfriends – 0.
CALL ME KATE – Mediocre documentary about the life of my favorite actress, Katharine Hepburn. I read her memoir many years ago and this bio on NetFlix merely scratches the surface, glossing over well known relationships and events while completely ignoring others. A deep dive into the details of her life are required to doContinue reading
QUEEN CHARLOTTE – Third installment of the Bridgerton series on NetFlix which is just as engaging as the first two. Queen Charlotte has been one of my favorites since season one. The casting of several actors as the younger version of their characters is spot on, both in looks and talent, in the telling ofContinue reading
THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT – Hot mess air hostess, Cassie, works more than her flights when she unwittingly becomes the prime suspect in a murder. Comedy/Drama with interesting “asides” when Cassie is in her head. A bit frantic, but worth a look. Cheers! Boyfriends – 2; Girlfriends – 0.
THE LAST MOVIE STARS – Unorthodox documentary about the private life and careers of married iconic actors Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. It’s unique on many levels. Taken from Paul Newman’s personal transcripts of his journals, Ethan Hawke has hired a group of his celebrity friends to voice the words of Paul, Joanne and someContinue reading
