DAVE CHAPPELLE: WHAT’S IN A NAME – I have never been a fan of Dave Chappelle’s comedy, but Kelly insisted the peeps watch this so we did. It’s about 40 minutes of Dave addressing students, faculty and alumni at his high school alma mater, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in New York. KellyContinue reading

VIKINGS: VALHALLA – Dana watched the original Vikings series and liked it a lot. I didn’t see it (although it was always on my list), but since there is very little of interest on NetFlix these days, I decided to watch this sequel. It’s historical fiction, which we all know is right up my alley,Continue reading
THE MYSTERY OF MARILYN MONROE: THE UNHEARD TAPES – Subpar documentary on NetFlix rehashing old news. Mike and I agree nothing to see here. Dana loved it. Y’all know what I say….skip it. Cheers. Zero toasts, boyfriends/girlfriends.
OUR GREAT NATIONAL PARKS – Marvelous documentary consisting of five episodes, each dedicated to a specific national park, mostly in other countries. Only one is in the U.S., Monterey Bay Marine Park off the coast of Monterey in northern California. Focused on conserving wildlife and environments, and narrated by Barack Obama, this piece allows usContinue reading
THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION – Yes, I know I’m late to the party for viewing this film. Based on the novella by Stephen King and released in 1994, the peeps rave about this picture. Michael has been after me for years to watch it. Finally I have. It is a decent film with great performances byContinue reading
CHOOSE OR DIE – What was I thinking? This is not my type of film at all. A computer game, Curser, is able to interact with its player, read their minds, view their surroundings and wreak mayhem…..all in real time! Plus most of it makes no sense at all. Skip it. Zero toasts, boyfriends/girlfriends.
ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL – Latest series from David E. Kelley to drop on NetFlix. It was excellent – Dana agrees! A high profile member of British Parliament reporting to the Prime Minister is accused of rape by a co-worker with whom he had had a five-month affair. The captivating story plays out over sixContinue reading
AMELIA: A TALE OF TWO SISTERS – Interesting documentary on the life of Amelia Earhart told through her niece’s commentary interspersed with narration. Much like the mystery of the Titanic, fascination with Earhart’s disappearance has never waned. This piece is only 45 minutes long and worth viewing if you remain fascinated like myself. Cheers! Boyfriends/GirlfriendsContinue reading
THE CABLE GIRLS – Super soapy Spanish melodrama, dubbed in English with the requisite good-looking cast, tiresome repetitive dialogue and nonsensical storylines – some of which are quietly shelved with no resolution (as if we’re not supposed to notice!) There are a few disturbing domestic violence scenes and endless smoking. Still, I enjoy watching….in smallContinue reading
HIGH SEAS – Take Murder on the Orient Express, swap the train for a luxury liner, throw in a healthy dose of soap opera and voila – High Seas. Filmed in Spanish and dubbed in English, this NetFlix series includes all of the usual suspects, a good-looking cast and great 1940s wardrobe. It’s a funContinue reading
