HBOMax – ChicksFlicks&Cocktails

THE PITT – Phenomenal show!! Exceptional work! Deserving of all the accolades it has received! Need I say more? Glasses high folks. Cheers!! Boyfriends – 3; Girlfriends – 2.

SINNERS – Mike and Anna loved it. John hated it. He said it’s a remake of From Dusk to Dawn, which he also hated. I thought it had some appeal for awhile until a vampire extravaganza turned into a zombie brigade and then it lost me. I’m not a fan of zombie stories, but IContinue reading

THE MORTICIAN – Macabre, true crime tale of repulsive acts committed on human remains by fiendish California mortician David Sconce. Operating out of a crematorium in Pasadena during the 1980s and 90s, it is despicable what he was able to do undetected for so long. Even more despicable is when he was finally arrested, heContinue reading

BILLY JOEL: AND SO IT GOES – Five hours spread over 2 episodes of this documentary paint a vivid, detailed and thorough picture of Billy Joel the man. I was always a fan of his music, but never knew anything really about his personal life aside from the Christie Brinkley marriage and occasional motorcycle crash.Continue reading

BABYGIRL – Soft porn for sure. And Nicole looks awful. (She used to be one of John’s fictional girlfriends. Not anymore). There’s zero chemistry between she and the young intern. Antonio Banderas is good as the husband, but I didn’t believe any of the storyline when I could understand it. The scenes are disjointed, thereContinue reading

WISE GUY – Splendid, top-notch documentary for any Sopranos fans….of which I am one. Creator-Writer David Chase takes us on a two episode journey into the creation of the iconic series as well as his personal life which was the basis for many of the characters…particularly his mother. We get to see early auditions ofContinue reading

DREAM SCENARIO – Typical Nicholas Cage film….weird, boring and stupid. Skip it. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0;

HACKS – Jean Smart is a terrific actress so I tuned in to see what the fuss was about (it’s been awarded Emmys in the past). After two episodes, I can’t get into it. Both characters are too unlikeable and I don’t care about them. Skip it. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.

SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE – Quirky, off-beat, dysfunctional characters and relationships which are probably a true depiction of life for many of us. It’s okay, but not very interesting. You might want to skip it. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.

THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES – It’s funny, but I don’t like the characters or the premise (false Evangelical family of preachers living the millionaire lifestyle off donations from the flock) so I can’t get into it. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
