DEATH TO 2020 – The peeps are split on this parody of the horrendous year we all just endured. I was hoping for lots of laughs. It certainly looked like this piece would deliver based on the cast and trailer. It definitely satisfied my friend Mirith. She thought it was hilarious and laughed her assContinue reading

MANK – this film is a character study into the psyche of Herman Mankiewicz, the actual screenwriter of Citizen Kane. It takes place over the two-three weeks Mank was writing the film and reveals much of his background through flashbacks. I had never heard of Mank or the drama behind the writing of Citizen KaneContinue reading
THE SOCIAL DILEMMA – Everyone needs to see this film. It is a stark warning to all of us using any type of technology. The film weaves scripted storyline into documentary info provided by the wizards who created our social platforms and cell phone capabilities. Even though we are all somewhat aware of the workingsContinue reading
View Post A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD – I’m not sure what I was expecting from this film. I guess more insight into Fred Rogers’ personal life and the affect his show had on millions of kids who grew up with Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. I was not one of those kids. Neither were myContinue reading
HAMILTON – Okay all y’all already know what a spectacular and important production Hamilton is for a myriad of reasons. All the peeps and I have already seen it on Broadway, but most of us were still eager to see the film. Since it dropped on Disney Plus this weekend (a most fitting time indeed)Continue reading
FORD VS. FERRARI – this film is everything the critics claim it is. In a word – terrific. It’s the true story of auto racing team Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby who work with Ford Motor Co. to unseat Enzo Ferrari as the leader of fast cars and big wins at the 1966 Le MansContinue reading
LITTLE WOMEN – I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Mike liked it too, but it stars two of his girlfriends and he tends to like everything they do. The performances were wonderful, though. The story is just as engaging as it was when it was written in the 1800s. Family relationships and dynamics remain the sameContinue 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.
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
