GOOD OMENS – As delightful and entertaining as the book, a cult classic! Neil Gaiman’s apocalyptic TV tale is loaded with the same irreverent humor, and brought to life by a cast gleefully embracing their roles. Like the book, it’s convoluted at times. Doesn’t matter. It’s a wild romp of good vs. evil and IContinue reading

GUNTHER’S MILLIONS – Wealthy heiress dies and leaves fortune to her German Shepherd. Four hundred million to be exact. Or maybe not. After all, a human needs to manage the funds, right? This dog has more folks on the payroll than Elon Musk…with a lifestyle much more decadent and depraved I presume! The only requirementContinue reading
THE LIGHTHOUSE – Another disturbing, confusing film. Two lighthouse caretakers in 1890 go slowly mad from isolation and abuse. Filmed in black & white, and featuring only two actors for the entire piece (Willem Dafoe & Robert Pattinson), the work is terrific and the mood foreboding. Horrific two hours! Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
THE MAYFAIR WITCHES – Anne Rice’s novel comes to life in this mysterious tale of black magic within a New Orleans coven of sorceresses. This one is right up my alley and I’m enjoying it. The only issue is it airs on AMC which means it’s short on show time and long on commercials. ExceedinglyContinue reading
THE LAST OF US – Peeps are losing their minds over this show! Kelly says it’s sensational. Mike has a regular Sunday night viewing with his Boston friends. Ryan and Krista are blown away. Christine rushes home from work to watch it. Me – I agree the acting is quite good and the relationships engaging.Continue reading
THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT – Nicolas Cage spoofs himself in this comedy/action adventure flick. It’s got some laughs. I expected it to be better, but it’s entertaining. Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 0.
BABYLON – Every Oscar nominated film I’ve watched so far is long. Too long. All of them. This one is no exception. It’s a depraved story of Hollywood in the 20s and 30s as it transitions from silent movies to talkies. It’s a real downer and I found many scenes hard to watch. Brad Pitt’sContinue reading
EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE – The title is certainly appropriate! It was impossible for me to follow and/or understand what was happening in this sci/fi film. Science fiction is not my thing and the movie is two hours and twenty minutes long. The frantic bits (and there were many) made my head hurt. DespiteContinue reading
BLONDE – It’s important to state right off the bat this film is not a documentary or biography. It’s a fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe’s life taken from the novel by Joyce Carol Oates. While much of it is factual and based on actual events, some of it is simply the author’s imagination. That said,Continue reading
THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN – Living on an island off the coast of Ireland in 1923, a simple man, his sister and his beloved animals – particularly a darling donkey named Jenny – contend with the challenges and boredom of small town isolation. There is comedy throughout this film, but overall the story is bleakContinue reading
