The Traitors (2023)
Ok but...
USA: First season was great and it was interesting to see how the actual winner got all the way to the end. Challenges were good. There is no need to put "celebrities" into the cast! It makes it much less appealing and the cliques formed were according to what shows they were on. But, Alan Cummings is awesome as the host and tooo funny! Please choose regular contestants.
The UK and Australia Traitors were much better! Love the concept and it's interesting to watch the journey unfold! I think it could have been moved along better and scenes cut as they got repetitive. The praise purse for both of these countries was less than the USA yet the contestants tried harder to win. Cmon USA!
Four Good Days (2020)
Excellent!
In this story of how addiction changes the family dynamics of an entire household, I was drawn into the movie instantly. This is a problem that occurs in more and more families each day. It is heartbreaking. I felt that it was pretty spot on with what the user goes through, trying to get off of the many drugs used. It does however take much longer than 4 months. The desperation, loneliness and shame as well as loss of self was portrayed and the many feelings that patients in withdrawal experience.
Glen Close was brilliant as always, as a mother who has made mistakes of her own but still loves her daughter and wants to help despite her enabling and co dependence. It has some tender moments where she and Molly connected and the bond that they share was beginning to heal. Mila was excellent as well. Some of the medical info was not correct, ie: the monthly injection is not narcan, and yes it's true, many medical personal with or without experience in this field have no compassion, unfortunately. This is a disease. Overall great movie that kept my attention.
Selling Sunset (2019)
Lol
Very laughable, light entertainment, easy to follow along show. However, very fake, backstabbing drama from the barbie doll, Botox infused women who sell the homes in LA. Very scripted. The Oppenheimer twins are awful, mean, condescending pigs who are full of themselves. It is so comical. The music is way too loud and distracting. The only good thing is seeing the cool properties and what they offer. Epic fail and does not hold a candle to MDL.
Virgin River (2019)
Loved it!
It's basically a love story but there are so many other issues going on. It's very easy to watch and stay watching. I really liked it and can't wait for the next season! Excellent acting!
