WE HAVE A GHOST – A Netflix original film. Decent acting but the story’s lame. Skip it! Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.

BOOKS OF BLOOD – Trilogy of pretty decent Clive Barker horror vignettes with a through line linking them together. The acting is surprisingly good and the stories appropriately unnerving. I liked it. Pleasant dreams! Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
IRISH WISH – Lindsay Lohan stars in this romantic comedy set in Ireland, of course. RomCom’s are not my thing. I only watched because of the Irish locale and co-stars Ed Speleers and Alexander Vlahos…all three lovely to look at. As usual, this one was predictable and not very good. A few laughs. I didContinue reading
AMERICAN FICTION – Entertaining film providing insight into Black culture and “woke” syndrome. Jeffrey Wright portrays Monk, a frustrated writer, and Sterling K. Brown portrays his gay brother, Cliff. Both men are wonderful. Wright delivers a poignant performance and Brown exudes rebellious charm as their bond is tested and remains strong in spite of themselves.Continue reading
DREAM SCENARIO – Typical Nicholas Cage film….weird, boring and stupid. Skip it. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0;
LIZZIE – Another version of the Lizzie Borden story, and not a very good one. I have seen many documentaries and films about Lizzie, and none have portrayed Lizzie as a lesbian who is in love with her maid, her maid being sexually abused by Lizzie’s father or the maid being complicit in the murder.Continue reading
THE THREE FACES OF EVE – Old Joanne Woodward film from 1957 depicting the true story of a woman suffering with multiple personality disorder due to a traumatic childhood incident. Woodward won the Oscar for her performance. Lee J. Cobb is also quite good as her psychiatrist. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
THE WONDERFUL STORY OF HENRY SUGAR – is indeed wonderful! This short film written and directed by Wes Anderson, based on a Roald Dahl story and starring A-list actors is truly a work of art. Told in what I call video book, the actors are actually reading you the story while portraying the characters. TheContinue reading
PRISCILLA – Priscilla Presley’s memoir about her life with Elvis brought to the screen by Sophia Coppola. A sad tale of a naive young girl trapped in a dysfunctional relationship with the King of Rock ‘n Roll. It’s perplexing why her parents, stationed in Germany, would allow their underage daughter, who was still in highContinue reading
KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON – Well that was four hours we can’t get back! Linette and I agree the scenes were dreadfully long and repetitious making this film woefully tedious to watch. Very few dates were provided so we had no idea exactly when these monstrous events occurred or how much time passed betweenContinue reading
