TINA – Raw, gritty and as brutally honest as Tina Turner herself, this documentary is excellent. I have always admired Tina for both her talent and her courage to overcome gut-wrenching circumstances. She is a consummate professional and more importantly, an exceptional human being. I was mesmerized by every bit of this film whether IContinue reading

AUDREY – Fans of Audrey Hepburn will enjoy this documentary of her life. I always thought she was so beautiful and stylish. I knew from previous press releases she was a caring, generous person. I also knew from the same sources her private life was no fairytale, beginning with her childhood. I never knew theContinue reading
DEAD TO ME – I resisted watching this show for a long time because the synopsis didn’t seem too interesting. I decided to give it a go, and I’m glad I did. It’s a girl buddy show featuring Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini as the buddies. These two unlikely partners in crime become joined atContinue reading
I CARE A LOT – the work in this film is acceptable. And it was a real education to discover there are fraudulent guardian companies who can swoop into our lives, insert themselves into our financial affairs, have us declared incompetent and we are helpless to prevent any of it. It’s for this very reason,Continue reading
ALLEN V. FARROW – Dull and boring. Nothing new to see here. Skip it. Peeps agree – zero toasts and definitely no boyfriends or girlfriends.
TRAVELS WITH MY FATHER – Another instance in which a show I have never heard of happens to pop up during my Netflix scroll, I decide to give it a few minutes of my time, and it ends up being a jewel! I have also never heard of Jack Whitehall or his now famous father,Continue reading
MEN IN KILTS – This romp through Scotland with Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish was disappointing. It’s based on their book, Clanlands, and I was expecting to enjoy it. I’m a big Outlander fan, and a buddy show featuring these two Outlander stars seemed like a hands-down win. Perhaps for die hard Outlander fans itContinue reading
BEHIND HER EYES – This psychological thriller with a splash of supernatural just dropped on Netflix. It kept me interested throughout, and it’s a miniseries, so it was a swift binge. The work is quite good, including the little boy who is excellent. I kept wondering what the twist would be at the end. IContinue reading
JOHN ADAMS – This is the miniseries starring Paul Giamatti in the title role which was first released in 2008. It is, in my opinion, one of the best theatrical depictions of the creation of our Democracy and the sacrifice and grit required to accomplish the lofty goal…and not just from the men! The costContinue reading
CECIL HOTEL – I reluctantly watched this miniseries under peer pressure from the peeps. I am not into this sort of show at all, but I relented to majority rule…plus it is produced by Ron Howard and Brian Glazer, whose work I respect. So I thought I might be pleasantly surprised. Not. It’s a fourContinue reading
