DISPATCHES FROM ELSEWHERE – This quirky new show is delightful….quite a departure from the norm. Four folks, each stuck in their lives, are lured into a mysterious game and forced to work together to solve the clues. This unlikely team would ordinarily never cross paths, but discover true friendship as they press on in theirContinue reading

OUTLANDER 5 – Episode 9 was stellar and the kind of story that endears this series to its many fans. Frannie and I loved it. Great bonding scenes between Jamie & Roger, Jamie & Young Ian and Jamie & Claire. It was beautiful and romantic, everything Outlander fans have come to expect. It also keptContinue reading

OUTLANDER 5 – Episode 8 was quite a departure from the norm. Francine didn’t like it at all. It was too far outside the box for her. I admit I had to watch it twice and pay closer attention to the opening scene (especially dialogue) to understand the symbolism. Once I did, I found itContinue reading

OUTLANDER 5 – Last night’s episode (#7) was riveting and heartbreaking, keeping closely to the book. My boyfriend, Murtagh, finally meets his end. Murtagh dies during the Battle of Alamance instead of on the battlefield at Culloden, but the same book dialogue between he and Jamie is written into the scene. I always enjoy hearingContinue reading

DR. SLEEP – Mike and I have wanted to see this film since it first opened in theatres. We were both fans of Stephen King’s book along with a few other peeps in our group. We finally had an opportunity under the coronavirus shelter-at-home orders. The film was proceeding fairly well until the end. IntendedContinue reading

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.
