THE PALE BLUE EYE – Interesting historical fiction mystery based on the novel by Louis Bayard. Set in the 1830s, and centering on Edgar Allan Poe’s brief time as a West Point cadet, a series of murders occur at the military academy.

THE MENU – Food connoisseurs accept an invitation from a master chef to visit his isolated island kitchen and sample a magnificent dinner in which they are the cuisine. Odd, bizarre film. Not really a fan. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
THE INVITATION – Mirith and I were planning to see this in the theatre, but it was in and out so fast we didn’t have the opportunity. We thought that meant it wasn’t very good, but it actually wasn’t bad. It’s a horror film from Mike Flanagan – sometimes he nails it and sometimes heContinue reading
GLASS ONION : A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY – Y’all know I’m not big on whodunnits, but this one is fun. I liked it. Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
LOVE ACTUALLY – is marvelous “actually.” Released in 2003, this Christmas picture is chock full of British heavy-weights at the top of their game. I discovered it for the first time last year. Since then I’ve learned it’s a cult classic. I understand why. This is not the typical smaltzy holiday film. This movie celebratesContinue reading
BULLET TRAIN – A thoroughly enjoyable romp of a ride! This latest Brad Pitt film is hilarious, violent, action-packed and loaded with Japanese dialogue. And of course, there’s Brad…who looks great and delivers spot on deadpan humor! Kelly liked it, too. Unanimous toasts. Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 1.
STUDIO 666 – David Grohl and the Foo Fighters move into a haunted house to record their latest album. Terrible film. They should stick to music. Skip it. Boyfriends – 1 (Taylor Hawkins due to his untimely death); Girlfriends – 0.
MR. HARRIGAN’S PHONE – Filmed throughout Fairfield County, CT, including here in Westport, this NetFlix original movie is based on Stephen King’s novella. I have been eagerly awaiting its drop. It was worth the wait. The young actor playing the lead character, Craig, reminds me of Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter and his acting chopsContinue reading
HOCUS POCUS 2 – The peeps gathered for the release of this sequel to Hocus Pocus in honor of Halloween and our tradition of watching the first one every year since 1993. None of us were expecting much, and that’s what we got. The original had its flaws, but it was charming. This one –Continue reading
THE MUNSTERS – Stupid. An insult to the original Munsters. Skip it.
