HARRY & MEGHAN – About what you’d expect from a documentary about Harry & Meghan. Kelly found it boring. I found it a bit self-serving. I did enjoy learning some history of the Royal family. Harry’s reveal of protocol, growing up within the institution and behind-the-scenes behavior of high-born Royals was also interesting. Beyond that…skipContinue reading

THE SANTA CLAUSES – Tim Allen returns in the latest installment of the “The Santa Clause” films. This six episode mini-series on Disney+ continues the saga of saving Christmas and/or Santa (Scott Calvin style). If you’re a fan of the three pictures, you will doubtless enjoy the series. It’s merely more of the same. AsContinue reading

WEDNESDAY – Addams Family mischief and shenanigans wrapped in a mysterious whodunnit. It’s delightful! Jenna Ortega looks and delivers like Johnny Depp. She is superb in the lead role. “Thing” is my scene-stealing favorite! I hated to see the adventure end. Rave reviews from Kelly and Ryan, too. Cheers! Boyfriends – 0; Girlfriends – 1;Continue reading

LOVE ACTUALLY – is marvelous “actually.” Released in 2003, this Christmas picture is chock full of British heavy-weights at the top of their game. I discovered it for the first time last year. Since then I’ve learned it’s a cult classic. I understand why. This is not the typical smaltzy holiday film. This movie celebratesContinue reading

BULLET TRAIN – A thoroughly enjoyable romp of a ride! This latest Brad Pitt film is hilarious, violent, action-packed and loaded with Japanese dialogue. And of course, there’s Brad…who looks great and delivers spot on deadpan humor! Kelly liked it, too. Unanimous toasts. Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 1.

1899 – Slow, dull, boring and weird. A ghost ship is discovered in the middle of the Atlantic. Would have been a better drop for NetFlix at Halloween, but still would have been slow, dull, boring and weird. Skip it. No toasts. Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.

THE WHITE LOTUS – Ah, the White Lotus. It’s all the rage at the moment. Everyone seems to love it. Kelly can’t look away, although it took her several episodes to become interested. She suggested I try to make it through at least two episodes before bolting because she knows it’s an acquired taste andContinue reading

STUDIO 666 – David Grohl and the Foo Fighters move into a haunted house to record their latest album. Terrible film. They should stick to music. Skip it. Boyfriends – 1 (Taylor Hawkins due to his untimely death); Girlfriends – 0.

THE WATCHER – Loosely based on a true story (keyword loosely), this NetFlix miniseries tells the tale of a family who bought a house in Westfield, NJ, back in 2014 and promptly began receiving ominous letters from an unknown neighbor. In the series, a reign of terror ensues, disrupting the homeowners’ lives and causing chaosContinue reading

SO HELP ME TODD – Cute, entertaining and even some laughs! I like it. Cheers!! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 0.
