  1. Jackie, an older gem with Holly Hunter

    Jackie, a film from 2012 directed by Antoinette Beumer, is a forgotten gem. If you missed it when it first came out you can see it now on Tubi. It's definitely a delightful film. […]

  2. Don’t Say Good Luck, love and joy tinged with sorrow

    Don't Say Good Luck gets an enthusiastic recommendation from me. It's a family story about a girl who gets the lead in her high school production of "Waitress: The Musical" at the same time her mother's cancer returns worse than ever. […]

  3. Ladies First, this remake doesn’t shine

    Ladies First is a remake of a French film. It's a reworking of I Am Not an Easy Man (Je ne suis pas un homme facile). I watched the French version in 2018 and thought it was pretty good. This English version had a good cast and a woman director, but it didn't measure up to my memory of the original. […]

  4. Weekly Watches: The Testaments and Margo’s Got Money Troubles

    Two excellent TV series I'm watching weekly are at a point where I'm ready to talk about them. They are The Testaments and Margo's Got Money Troubles. Normally I like to wait until something is complete so I can binge it. This is because I'm quite old and my memory is gone. But these two series are so powerful and strong, they make an indelible impression. Let's see how the old brain holds up. […]

  7. The Beast in Me, this powerful series captivates

    The Beast in Me is the kind of story that will be talked about for many years. It's a tightly written suspense drama that deals with themes of blame, vengeance, rage, and violence that are part of human nature. It's a deep examination of those themes in ways that will merit visiting and revisiting by analysts and film scholars. […]

  8. Hot Milk, a mother & daughter story

    Hot Milk is not going to be for everyone, I want to say that immediately. It's what I would call an arthouse film. What I mean by that is it requires some work and interpretation from the audience. A lot of it is symbolic of motherhood and womanhood. It is not a typical Hollywood style story. There are some spoilers ahead. […]

  9. The Lincoln Lawyer, season 3 review

    The Lincoln Lawyer, season 3, brings a new case to Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and his group of associates. As usual, in this series based on mystery novels by Michael Connelly, things get very complicated and dangerous before it's all over, but Mickey usually manages to win his case as a defense attorney in the end. […]
