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
PAMELA, A LOVE STORY – Pamela Anderson’s endearing memoir of her wild, adventurous life and shared with us in her own words. She wasn’t what I expected. I admire her candor and her ability to embrace all aspects of her life, the painful and the pleasurable, with humor and love. We even get a peekContinue reading
THE LORD OF THE RINGS Fellowship of the Ring – Is there anyone who hasn’t seen the LOTR trilogy? Yes. Kelly and me, to name two. So when it dropped on NetFlix we watched it. Kelly and Van loved it. I liked it, but not enough to sit through two more 3-hour films to seeContinue reading
HORROR STORIES – Another Twilight Zone-ish bore. Skip it! Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
GUNTHER’S MILLIONS – Wealthy heiress dies and leaves fortune to her German Shepherd. Four hundred million to be exact. Or maybe not. After all, a human needs to manage the funds, right? This dog has more folks on the payroll than Elon Musk…with a lifestyle much more decadent and depraved I presume! The only requirementContinue reading
BLONDE – It’s important to state right off the bat this film is not a documentary or biography. It’s a fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe’s life taken from the novel by Joyce Carol Oates. While much of it is factual and based on actual events, some of it is simply the author’s imagination. That said,Continue reading
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. Harry Melling, who plays Poe, would be a dead ringer for the poet…Continue reading
CABINET OF CURIOSITIES – Think Twilight Zone and Night Gallery with Guillermo Del Toro hosting instead of Rod Serling. Exactly what you’d expect…including use of some A-list actors and stories a bit on the boring side. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – 0.
