THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER – Typical Mike Flanagan horror series with his usual cast of actors. Each episode is loosely based on an Edgar Allan Poe story. It’s not as good as the Haunting of Hill House, but way better than Bly Manor. It’s decent and worth viewing if you like theContinue reading

DEPP V. HEARD – Dysfunction and deceit are at the heart of this three episode mini-series documenting the Court battle over defamation lawsuits brought by both famous parties. Mostly old news and basically boring. Plus the constant annoying viral commentary interspersed throughout is a drag. Skip it! Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 0.
THE OUT-LAWS – Puzzling why well-known, talented actors would sign on to this dud. It’s exceedingly stupid…the movie and their choices. Skip it. Cheers! Boyfriends – 0; Girlfriends – 1.
ARNOLD – Schwarzenegger’s life is a testament to the power of visualization and determination. Excellent documentary. Straight talk from Arnold. Great video of his mini horse and donkey which the peeps know are dear to my heart. Unanimous toasts. Cheers! Boyfriends – 1; Girlfriends – 2 (the mini horse and donkey).
FUBAR – Hoping to replicate the success of True Lies, and based on the same premise, this NetFlix series has failed miserably. It had potential, but it has none of the charm and clever wit of the movie, nor the sizzle between Arnold and Jamie Lee. There is zero chemistry among the cast. The dialogueContinue reading
THE SANDMAN – Neil Gaiman scores again in this small screen adaption of his graphic novel. The peeps are unanimous. Kelly and I toast the casting, especially of Dream and his sister Death. We found their relationship, and Dream’s relationship with the man he allows to live for hundreds of years, endearing. It was ourContinue reading
RED ROSE – British teenagers are lured into a sinister app with deadly results. Heavy English accents and supernatural overtones. Surprisingly, I liked it! Cheers! Boyfriends – 0; Girlfriends – 0.
CALL ME KATE – Mediocre documentary about the life of my favorite actress, Katharine Hepburn. I read her memoir many years ago and this bio on NetFlix merely scratches the surface, glossing over well known relationships and events while completely ignoring others. A deep dive into the details of her life are required to doContinue reading
QUEEN CHARLOTTE – Third installment of the Bridgerton series on NetFlix which is just as engaging as the first two. Queen Charlotte has been one of my favorites since season one. The casting of several actors as the younger version of their characters is spot on, both in looks and talent, in the telling ofContinue reading
MH370 THE PLANE THAT DISAPPEARED – Three episode documentary pondering the mystery of Malaysia Flight MH370 which vanished over the South China Sea on March 8, 2014. While nothing new is revealed, a lot of debate was sparked among the peeps. I can’t even venture a guess as to the whereabouts of this plane orContinue reading
