Life, Death and Money (2020)
Queen of Mean Leona
I remember when all of Leona Helmsley's troubles were in the news. Fascinating to see the Helmsley Trump connection. Helmsley refusing to pay vendors and taxes...hm. The documentary makes note of the similarities between these two and asks if it is common in people of great wealth. Considering the news of today, this documentary is pretty timely.
George Carlin's American Dream (2022)
Was George Carlin a prophet...
First let me say, I'm in Australia and it is in two parts as far as I can tell.
George Carlin. Was he a seer of the future or just the common sense that so many are missing? His words are remarkable to me because almost everything he said has come to pass. Isn't that amazing?
I am happy to say I saw him perform when I lived in Chicago. Carlin performed at The Mill Run Playhouse in Niles, Illinois. He was amazing, eye opening and enlightening. I wonder what he would say or do if he were alive when Obama was elected. Or when FG questioned if Obama was born in the United States. I can only imagine, hopefully, what Mr Carlin would have had to say about FG!
I think everyone should watch and listen to this program. Personally I find it inspiring, and motivating. The world is a better place because of George Carlin. We could sure use his wise words today.
The Flight Attendant: Backwards and Forwards (2022)
The skies the limit for The Flight Attendant
Obviously I love the series and adore the entire cast. Fingers crossed there will be a Season 3 in the near future. All the accolades aside, did I miss something? Cassie's 'double' with the boyfriend:::who were they?
The Girl Before (2021)
The Girl Before
Frankly, I was not expecting to enjoy this for some reason so I'm glad to report I loved it! The actors were well cast, and the storyline was nail biting without going down the path where the 'scary' movies tread. I especially liked the mirroring....
Highly recommend!
Euphoria (2019)
Euphoria....not
Started watching Season 2 Episode 1 (in Australia) and could hardly get through it. Excellent cast, definitely, and it was fairly easy getting the gist of what Euphoria is actually about but, it's unlikely I'll watch another episode. Then I remembered Breaking Bad. Drugs and violence and, I remember excitedly waiting for each new episode! Not the same with Euphoria and I'm not sure why but I have absolutely no desire to watch another episode. I liked the cast but....sorry, Euphoria.
Bliss (2017)
Bliss...would be Season 2!!!
I've resigned myself to the fact that Australian television can be late to the party. Seems Bliss has only just arrived in Australia while IMDb says it came out in 2018. That's sad....but not as sad as finding out there is NO SEASON TWO! I want to know what happens next. Wah....
Hemingway (2021)
Well done...but that's redundant, I think.
I not only thoroughly enjoyed this.... I wanted more! Only 3 episodes...
After the Wedding (2019)
After The Wedding
Let me just say that I love films. I love them. Initially, I frankly wasn't too sure about this one but...THIS film gave me everything that I love about acting and storytelling. Julianne Moore. Billy Crudup. Grabbed my heart and didn't let go of it.
Michelle Williams, in contrast to the overt emotions of Moore, still came across as loving and caring, just in a different way.
Abby Quinn was perfect in this role. She really shared her huge range of emotions well.
Highly recommend this film.
Raised by Wolves (2020)
Sizzle to fizzle...
I'm not a huge fan of sci-fi but the promos really caught my attention. Interesting premise, interesting characters and kept me coming back for more, though the children sadly lacked some.thing though I'm not sure what.
About midway through, I started to wonder if it was just me or were some things kind of trite? I kept watching, with fingers crossed, hoping for something more.....better.
I just watched the last episode and.....I don't understand what happened. I mean...like what exactly just happened??
I hope there is a season 2, I really do. There's room for improvement and room to expand the characters. At then end, confusion aside about the ending, I enjoyed it.
Nu (2018)
Nude. Must like subtitles.
Unique perspective. Dark humour. Loved it!!!
A French detective wakes from a long long 'sleep' only to find the society he knew has changed drastically!
A Quiet Place (2018)
Shhhhh.....
9 stars....excellent cast, excellent acting...but I am not a fan of horror films. I have not seen a scary movie since The Amityville Horror...literally not one. So why this film? Watching the promos really got my attention and curiosity. That and seeing Emily Blunt and John Kasinski in the ads made me do it!!
So, knowing my dislike for any and all horror movies, I must admit I am glad I saw it! Kasinski and Blunt are incredible anyway but together? Wow! So, yes, I definitely recommend you see it, too. Even if you don't like scary movies....
