I hate watching 99% of it to have to turn it off to avoid
25 December 2020
The disgusting thing they randomly do at the end where that goofy man uses the finished blade on a dead piglet! It looks so much like a baby hanging there! How this is even allowed is beyond me. I see so much room for improvement in that show. Really both in the show and the craftsmanship. Having grown up around farriers who can do about anything with a forge and anvil, I guess I just expect a lot more. I grew up around great metal workers in texas like Bill Blackwell and Frank McElheny. These man were craftsmen! And they didn't need to pull gross or goofy stunts to keep all eyes on their mesmerizing work.

The Crown (2016–2023)
6/10
Gets catchy after first few episodes
24 November 2020
Claire Foy and the cast are amazing! The story line is good, no idea how accurate it is. Given the intimacy of the supposed conversations, I have to guess most of it is fiction because I doubt any of the royals were giving interviews on their most private conversations. Worse complaint, and it is a big one, is what in the heck is wrong with the volume? One minute it is blaring me out of the room and the next it is so quiet I am having to rewind it to figure out what was said. I have never seen such crazy volume jumping in a tv show! I tried using headphones to see if that would help and about lost my hearing, my left ear still hurts, after one of the loud outburst! I feel like I need to buy an equalizer to finish this... not happening. It is half ruining he experience for me though My left ear seriously feels like it is bleeding!

I loved it! Fun, happy, great ending!
18 November 2020
This was a movie that was made exactly how a really great romantic comedy, light suspenseful thriller is supposed to be made! It happens to have four incredibly good actors in it and some great supporting cast as well! I mean if you can appreciate High Grant, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sam Elliot and Mary Steenbergen then you probably shouldn't even turn on a movie, in my opinion. This movie was very full and fun and we enjoyed it immensely! Also I have to say pretty cool that it was done when they were all looking really hot which is neat because you just have to appreciate the sheer physical beauty not only of these characters but the wonderful settings where they were located and the costuming was very well done as well! "Did You Hear About the Morgans?" had everything from fast cars to horses to beautiful park settings to great wide open Spaces and all sorts of different kinds of guns in a not too action packed or fast-moving fun romantic movie! I hope I didn't give anything away because I really try not to! It was really good movie though and I cannot imagine anyone not really enjoying it!

Thank you! This is what I needed!!!
11 November 2020
Going stir crazy here amidst corona and freezing temps and no heat! Well, we have one heater, but the cats have it... long story. Anyway, the people have blankets. Depressing, as you might guess! My therapist didn't even want to talk to me, true story! I looked on Prime. I thought to myself, I have just got to have one of those things that makes you laugh until everything else just disappears! I checked out all of the new movies nd. most were serious, or horrifying, being so close after Halloween! Then I see this guy wearing a face mask, looks like he could be one of my neighbors! I watch the trailer, catchy, fun, decent looking guy. I negotiate the viewing rate, anywhere from $3.99 to rent SD to $9.99 to buy HD. I ca tell you now, this is where I made my first mistake because I should have bought this! Now I'm going to have to spend the $9.99 to buy it anyway. For less than $10, it is the best pick me up I have found since "Nanette" Gadsby!!

i'm just really glad that I did not P my pants because it got very close a few times there! And there's a few things I am dying to comment on from the show but I refuse to be a spoiler! Anyone who watches this and doesn't laugh until they cry and almost Pee their pants... God love you I can't help you!

On the Rocks (2020)
10/10
Great movie!!
30 October 2020
I can't say much without giving anything away! It has a lot of twist and turns. It looks at different relationships from different perspectives. There are some really fun parts and some really serious parts. It is a movie about love with very talented actors who don't give anything away. I was glad I got to watch it on tv so I could rewind parts. I think it is best to remember that everyone is doing the best that they can, even if they don't realize it themselves.

A Good Year (2006)

This was delicious!!
26 October 2020
This reminds me of the magical Sunday afternoon 15 years ago when I watched "Under the Tuscan Sun" for the first time on my big screen and first audiophile sound system. This being a Sunday afternoon too, it makes me long for another Sunday afternoon and not the hectic Monday I know is coming. This was equally as magical and created the feeling in me of being on vacation, or in another cozier magical life! Next time we go to Europe, definitely taking the time to stay in a villa. Most of the movie was beautiful. I found the twist in the surprise ending heartwarming! It was nice to see Russell Crowe this kind and warm. I hope we see him in this kind of character again soon. Marion Cottilard was stunning! I am such a Freddie Highmore fan, seeing him this young and so smart was an added bonus and I admit brought tears to my eyes knowing what success he goes onto as an actor! Good for him! I have always been a fan of Albert Finney and especially his work around this time period. He is wonderful, like Marlon Brando as he aged, graceful, cultured and full. I can imagine anyone would love this movie and I would say it is a great stay at home date night movie, especially if the guy suggest it and had a nice wine of champagne and some chocolates, or whatever your girl likes! She is going to love you for it!

Yea, I kept thinking what would so and such think about that?
24 October 2020
I guess we know what Sasha Baron Cohen has been doing while in quarantine!! I think I'll just make a possibly large budget, multi national film at the drop of a hat. Now that is power my friend! Very current! Much better than the previous ones. I could see a lot of growth and I think more of Sasha Baron Cohen, the man and artist, in this movie. It dealt with so many different current issues and beliefs and was not really political because he poked fun at and exposed all sides. Mostly he exposed the inappropriateness of us not getting along with one another in the USA. I think I have described my take on the movie without giving away any specifics. It is silly, so know that up front. If you feel offended, wait 2 minutes and you will be laughing as he lands on another subject. His sidekick in the movie was a great find! Casting miracle! Lucky!

Light hearted enjoyable entertainment!
11 October 2020
It's funny how people choose which light nearted romance comedies get 5 stars and which get 10. This one was about as good as any of them. I liked it better than Mama Mia, seemed to be similar. I loved it being set in Europe. That was fun. Pierce does accents really well. Emma is always a doll as were the rest of the cast. I watched the movie and ended feeling like "I really needed that!" I feel better for having watched it than I did before, and isn't that the purpose of a rom-com? Well done!

What fun! Great series! I hope there will be more!
18 September 2020
This reminded me so much of being with my family, in Texas, when we landed on the moon! We of course traveled to Houston, in our station wagon, to see everything at Nasa! It was such an exciting time! This tv show is wonderful and really does bring a feeling of hope and that anything is possible! I cannot imagine anything we need more right now than hope. I'll take it where I can get as we work out some real change where it is so needed.

Final Girl (2015)
9/10
Awesome, not too scary, still auspenseful!
14 September 2020
Abigail Breslin has grown from a pretty girl to a gorgeous grown young woman! She reminds me of Dakota Fanning in her ability to hold a stare with those piercing blue eyes! She seemed to pull this off with grace and ease. I would trust her in any role at this point. Very up and coming. This could have been a series with her and the good looking co star together. I would tune in for it. Also, I liked the female empowerment aspect of it. I look forward to seeing more movies like this. My last words when she finished one of her deeds were, "Little Miss Freaking Sunshine, to you"! Go girl! Make more good movies!

Very entertaining and twisted
7 September 2020
I admit I looked this up to see where Dan Stevens had gone after Downton Abbey. I wanted to hate it because I was mad he had left Downton Abbey. It took me a long time to finally watch it. I have to admit I liked it, in the vein of "The Usual Suspect". I enjoyed it more because the actors were better looking and I found that enjoyable. I'm also a fan of John Travolta and wanted to see him. He is very warm and funny, for a mob boss. If you are angry with Dan Stevens. you will find this rewarding too, without giving anything away. The real star turns out to be a darling. Enjoy!

Lovely and funny!
6 September 2020
I am a big Brenden Gleeson fan and this is a really good one! It was really cool to see Newfoundland because it is so different from anywhere I have lived. They used a lot of the cast from there too which added to the authenticity. It was very funny and they often were laughing, or poking fun, at themselves which was cool! It was a good break from life and a different perspective. I am also not sure how they found 60 different cast members where no two people looked alike. That is quite an accomplishment in itself. Fun, different kind of movie.

Loved this feel good teacher movie!
6 September 2020
Having worked with educators for the last 25+ years I know how important it is to validate their work. So many people throw stones when they aren't teaching their kids themselves. This movie shows what a teacher goes through to inspire her kids. I found it to be fun, inspiring and heart warming. I also love horses so that was a plus!! Of course it is cornball, like a Lifetime or Hallmark movie, but that is the genre. I immediately emailed it to my daughter in law who is a very progressive teacher. If you want something uplofting, this is a good choice.

A modern Day Revelation about Mental Health
25 August 2020
Set in an easy to watch, entertaining format. It brings to mind the old adage that a spoon full of honey helps the medicine go down because it discusses deep mental health issues in a way that is fun and entertaining. I would say a recommended watch for anyone dealing with mental health issues and the ramifications in a family. Wonderful cast too!

Perry Mason (2020–2023)
10/10
Wow! It took me a bit to catch on and when I did, blew my mind!
10 August 2020
As a huge fan of the original Perry Mason, I have to admit I came to this project with skepticism! I thought, "yea, let's see your Della Street"! Then I hated the new Perry! I was aghast and judgmental! I did not see what they were doing here! Sometimes that is the best, when you have to wait on it, like great sex. Can I say that here? We'll find out. Anyway, this is sexy and poignant and fresh and timeless all at the same time! Now I'm in love and want more!

Nene should have stayed!
29 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Tori obviously voted off Nene because she was the toughest competition! Good gamesmanship or poor sportsmanship? I was sorry to see it anyway. Made me lose interest in the show and I thought it was a pretty good concept, especially for something people could do safely from their home. Anyway, a boooo from me! Dallas girls don't play that way!

The acting was good and storyline decent
25 July 2020
The acting was good and storyline decent, unfortunately the music was way too loud and clunky and drowned out parts of the movie. It reminded me of when you see a singer who is not really confident and they just let their band run all over them and their singing is drowning in it. The quality of tje music wasn't very good either. It lacked instrumentation and sounded like a music producer friend of mine sitting in front of his computer and testing beats in an obnoxious way, not something that would make it to a movie Some one needed to ride rough shod over this music department because the music should add to the action, accentuate and support the scene, This movie could be several points better if the music were redone.

Brilliant as it is!
7 July 2020
Suranne Jones character is an inspiration to all. Suranne is pure gold in anything with her captivating facial expressions! I also adore actress Jane Lynch and have to wonder if it wouldn't be awesome for Suranne to have a friend who is a similar character, maybe a cousin visiting from the states? K, I admit, I'd like to see Jane in those costumes!! Suranne and Jane both seem to be all heart to me!!

Impressive!! Laughed a lot!!
4 July 2020
I really enjoyed Celeste's stand up show. I am a bit discerning about my comedy, I like it really good! I turn a lot of comedy shows off. Celeste was really good!! She kept my attention and laughter throughout! She seems like a really nice person and that counts for a lot in my book and she makes fun of those experience one or another of us all has gone through. I was very happy to watch the sunrise while watching Celeste comedy show!! Probably should have slept, but felt that drawn into it! BTW, I have a funny story you might enjoy in that I got that you read your reviews.... I was visiting Melbourne from Malibu and I was with my daughter who was performing comedy at the Imperial when I made the mistake of saying that doing. a comedy bit of my own was something I had wanted to do someday. I learned you do not say that around a group of comics in Australia because they completely forced me on stage, threatening to carry me up there, and I had to do an impromptu comedy act! I think this may be how Aussie's teach their babies to swim? In you go! Great job! Thank you!

One of the best comedies I have ever seen!!
30 June 2020
I laughed so loudly, I could literally hear my neighbors stir! They will either ask what was so funny or tell me to quiet it down! Moral of the story, don't watch late at night! I laughed as much with this one as I did with Ab Fab, the Movie! Look at the cast! You have Martin Lawrence, Larry Miller, Danny DeVito, Bernie Mac and a few beautiful women! The settings are beautiful and timeless too! This movie feels contemporary even though it is 17 years old! What a great find! One of my most pleasant surprises! I know there were even more big names in the movie, I apologize for who I failed to mention. It is just really late! Thank you for the great movie! I am adding it to my short list!

Really fun and enjoyable... dark comedy!!
15 June 2020
This reminds me so much of "Serial Mom" in a bit of a different way because it is even more fairytale-ish. I thought Katie Holmes did an amazing job in it and that gorgeous hunk a monk a costar was of course fabulous. The children were beautiful! This was the most pleasant surprise I've had in a movie in a long time and I'm really glad that I watched it. I'm also super happy to see someone doing something in this genre where it is empowering and fun and making fun of things we take for granted at the same time. These boots was great! I went to buy it on Apple and was sad to see it not available! Someone has a voice!

Sam better not be dead, or this show is dead to me....
1 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Because American families care more about their families than to letnwhat happened be ok! We are all very upset about this! I am guessing/hoping the actor who plays Ben Davis just needed to leave for a bit to make another show?!?!!

Great Show!! I'm totally blaming these guys for my not sleeping tonight!!!
30 May 2020
What a brilliantly fun show! I laugh, I cry! Who cast this? I mean the chemistry between so many if the actors is awesome!! Who knew Steve Carell and John Malkovich would have such a great exchange between the two of them? Way too much fun to watch! And they are both gorgeous in their own way! Steve Carell is getting better with age! John looks hot in his suits and cool glasses and swarthy demeanor. This show is just too much fun as it deals with real life situations inside a really unique setting! and of course Ms. Lisa Kudrow, 25 words or less super hero, is always amazing in everything! Any you even got my buddy Jimmy O'Yang!! I spelled it the Irish way! Love you Jimmy O!!! Don Lake is funny as heck too! Great show! Thank you!!

Sam Elliot's best performance ever!!
10 September 2017
Sam Elliott was just amazing in this! I have loved the depth and the humility in the warmth and the humor that he brought through with his character. I really feel like it was an Oscar worthy performance and a movie that probably won't be seen by as many people as it could be. I hope we see this performance in another movie with Mr. Elliott because it would be super nice to see him win an Oscar for this caliber of performance. Overall this movie was a little bit hard for me to watch because I am pro-life and pro choice, politically. I think ideally we have to respect that it's a woman's choice and yet offer so many fabulous options that they would not feel like they ever had to do that. I am looking back and wondering if this even got any mentions for awards?
