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
THE TINDER SWINDLER – after watching this documentary and Inventing Anna, I am perplexed! How is it these imposters are repeatedly able to con so many folks out of such huge amounts of cash? I would really like to understand the psychology behind this deception from the victim’s point of view. I can’t imagine myselfContinue reading
AGAINST THE ICE – In 1909, two Danish polar explorers, originally on a mission with a full crew, set out alone in the Arctic to recover journals from a previous expedition.

KARDEC – True story of Professor Léon Rivail who became Kardec in late 19th century France when he discovered spiritualism, prompting him to write The Spirits’ Book. I had never heard of this book, but apparently it is well known, especially in Brazil. Naturally the book created much conflict with both Emperor Napoléon and theContinue reading
DOWNFALL: THE CASE AGAINST BOEING – Ron Howard produced this documentary offering a timeline and specific details which reveal exactly how and why two brand new 737 MAX airliners plummeted to the ground, killing all passengers and crew aboard. Spoiler alert – Corporate executives at Boeing who valued profit and stock prices above human life.Continue reading
INVENTING ANNA – Who is Anna, you ask? Nobody knows, and everybody knows, depending on what she wants you to know. This chick bilked friends out of thousands of dollars, defrauded or attempted to defraud banks of much more and conned associates into doing her bidding, often treating them like dirt in the process. AndContinue reading
