HBOMax – ChicksFlicks&Cocktails

LIFE, LARRY AND THE PURSUIT OF UNHAPPINESS (An Almost History of America) – Mike and I are in complete agreement: Larry David’s latest comedy show on HBOMax is typical and annoying….just like Larry. But it’s not funny. He does get good guest stars though…especially Rob Reiner in his final role. Skip it! Cheers! Boyfriends –Continue reading

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER – It was a battle to sit through this film. John bailed halfway into it, never to be seen again. Darren, Mary and I made it to the end, but none of us understood what was happening or why. Plus I’m not a fan of modern revolutionary material. That said allContinue reading

HEATED RIVALRY – Christine, Anna and Mackenzie are among the throngs of straight women who make up the huge audience that cannot look away from this steamy gay romance. Based on the book by Rachel Reid which is part of her Game Changer series, the buzz on this HBOMax show is through the roof…which isContinue reading

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;
