SECRETS OF THE BEES – Extraordinary National Geographic documentary on these fascinating garden friends. The footage is amazing as we go up close and personal, almost becoming part of the hive. I always wonder how photographers are able to capture video like this. I learned a lot. Did you know there are 20,000 different speciesContinue reading
SHIPWRECKED NIGHTMARE AT SEA – Harrowing account from actual survivors of the Costa Concordia cruise ship that sank after striking a huge boulder and running aground off the coast of Giglio Island in Italy. It’s an intense documentary with actual footage and worth viewing. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
DARK SHADOWS AND BEYOND – THE JONATHAN FRID STORY – I readily admit it! I was one of those kids who rushed home from school to watch Dark Shadows at 4 p.m. every weekday in the late 60s. So was my sister and most of my friends! I adored the show. The supernatural stories, theContinue reading
MAN ON THE RUN – An ok documentary about Paul McCartney and Wings, but I was disappointed. I’m an avid Beatles fan. Wings….not so much. I wanted a deep dive into Paul’s struggles after the Beatles’ breakup and his relationship with Linda. Alas these things were only superficially addressed. As Mike said, it was supposedContinue reading

Even more despicable is when he was finally arrested, heContinue reading
ONE SHOT WITH ED SHEERAN – this hour long music experience with Ed may have been filmed in one continuous take, but there was definitely staging going on. Plus I don’t see how some camera angles could have been shot in one take. Still, Ed Sheeran fans (which we are) will find his jaunt throughContinue reading
TITAN THE OCEANGATE SUBMERSIBLE DISASTER – Blinded by hubris, arrogance and ego, Oceangate owner Stockton Rush became Oceangate murderer Stockton Rush. Ignoring the sub’s failure of all endurance testing, firing employees who raised safety concerns, overlooking the exit of many others who departed the company due to the same safety concerns, refusing to allow theContinue reading
ONE TO ONE JOHN & YOKO – The year is 1971. John & Yoko have fled London and begun life in New York City in their small Greenwich Village apartment which they will inhabit until moving to the Dakota in 1973. Produced by their son, Sean Ono Lennon, and Brad Pitt, it is an interestingContinue reading
RETURN OF THE KING THE FALL AND RISE OF ELVIS PRESLEY – New documentary covering Elvis’s life up to the comeback concert in 1968. Not a lot new here, but comments from Priscilla Presley, old acquaintances and Elvis himself, plus snippets from the ’68 concert, make this an interesting piece. And let’s face it, ElvisContinue reading
