    Staged

    Last evening we were having a difficult time finding anything to watch and came across “Staged” with David Tennant and Michael Sheen. The premise is that during Covid two actors whose West End play is halted are convinced by the director to carry on rehearsing online using. It takes about an...

    Single Drunk Female

    We just finished watching both 10 episode seasons of Single Drunk Female on Hulu. My wife and I are very glad we hung on past the first couple of episodes where watching a 28 year old girl deal with alcoholism pains deeply. Plenty of bad choices are made, some predictable scenes, appropriate...

    The English

    Last weekend we watched the six episode western The English starring Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer. It starts a bit slow but is definitely worth waiting for the characters and plot to develop. Both Blunt and Spencer give fine performances. Recommended. On Netflix.

    The Offer

    We have watched the currently available first three episodes of the Paramount + series The Offer. The 10 episode series surrounds the making of The Godfather and is based on a book by Albert Ruddy who was the producer of the movie. The cast is full of both well known actors along with many...

    Billions

    For the past several years I really enjoyed Billions on Showtime and probably considered it my favorite current show. Well I don't know what happened this year but I am wondering if they have Jumped the Shark. The writing has gone from great to a bit repetitive. Several of the lead characters...

    Bagdad Central

    Has anyone else started watching Bagdad Central on HULU (or British TV)? We have finished three of the six episodes and have found it very interesting. What is different in this series is that we see if from the perspective of a former Iraqi Police Inspector who is grieving after the loss of...

    Baptiste on Masterpiece

    We have watched the first two episodes of Baptiste on Masterpiece these past two Sundays. There have been several unexpected twists to the storyline in the first two weeks. This has the potential to be a excellent series.

    Little Fires Everywhere

    Has anyone been watching "Little Fires Everywhere" streaming on Hulu? Next week will be the final episode of this 8 part series based on the book of the same title. The acting by both Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon has been very good. There have been some very interesting twists...

    Ozark

    I am surprised I could not find a thread about Ozark which is steaming it's third season. I enjoyed the first two but never considered it a great show. A little over the top at times but still always entertaining even though I thought Jason Bateman was in over his head in his key role. Well I...

    Last Full Measure

    I enjoyed this movie today. It may not be a great movie but at least for me it was very entertaining and at times very emotional. All of the old timers (Samual Jackson, Peter Fonda, Ed Harris, John Savage and especially Christopher Plummer) did an excellent job. I'm sure Hollywood took some...

    Bombshell

    Had the opportunity to see Bombshell this afternoon. A very good movie and what a performance by Charlize Theron as Megan Kelly. I am guessing she will be getting a Oscar nomination for this one. The film is full of actors you are familiar with in both major and minor roles. Charlize Theron...

    Ken Burns Documentary "Country Music"

    I am not sure how many of you have had the opportunity to follow Ken Burns new documentary "Country Muisc". Each of the two hour episodes has been very informative and entertaining especially the 4th which I watched last evening. This last episode covered the 10 year period from circa 1953 to...

    My Brilliant Friend

    I am not sure if I posted about the HBO Series "My Brilliant Friend" in the past. I was remanded of the series as I am currently listening to the Soundtrack by Max Richter. I don't think this series received the notice it should have. Part of the problem might have been that it was in Italian...

    Apocalypse Now- Final Cut

    For Thursday 15-August we have purchased tickets to see the 40th Anniversary "Apocalypse Now Final Cut" at a local IMAX theater. According to Coppola this is about 30 minutes longer than the original release but 20 minutes sorter than "Redux". It has been remastered for current sound and...

    Line of Duty

    We have now blown thru all four seasons of Line of Duty currently available on HULU. We understand why the UK has made this one of their most popular shows the past few years. After season 1's five episodes the next three available seasons were all semi stand alone at six. Though each season...

    The Red Line

    We were able to watch the first two hours of the the eight hour CBS Series "The Red Line" last night. We recorded it and watched it last evening because Sunday is currently locked up with 3 fine PBS shows plus "Billions" on Showtime. I wasn't sure what direction they would take the show but...

    True Detective #3

    I have been very impressed with the third installment of True Detective on HBO. The first two iterations were okay and had their moments but the latest is more interesting to me. With only two of the eight episodes left to go I am still not sure what surprises await. The way the story unfolds...

    Black Earth Rising

    We started watching the Netflix offering "Black Earth Rising" the other night and are into the fourth of eight episodes. The story revolves around individuals who are either survivors/perpetrators of the Rwandan Genocide or individuals involved in prosecuting those who were involved. So far...

    Bodyguard

    My wife has been in Florida the past couple of weeks so I have been able to catch up on some Netflix shows that she had little interest in. After hearing that David Madden won the Golden Globe for "Best Actor in a Television Drama" in "BodyGuard" I gave it a try. I was hooked right away as...

    They Shall Not Grow Old

    I had the opportunity to see "They Shall Not Grow Old" today. So far this has been a limited run engagement across the US with showings on Dec 17 and Dec 27. From what I have heard most of these were Sold Out several days in advance. I chose the 3D version and am pleased that I did. There were...

    Mary Queen of Scots

    Just returned from seeing Mary Queen of Scots. It may not be historically correct but it is an excellent film. Saoirse Ronan gives another superior performance (Brooklyn, Lady Bird) solidifying her position as one of the finest actors of the current generation. She has a way of just owning...

    Green Book

    This turned out to be one of the more enjoyable movies of the year so far. Fine performances by both Viggo Mortensen anb Mahershala Ali. Yes it was a bit predictable but then again it was "based" upon a true story so not sure how much license they were willing too take.

    The Girl In The Spider's Web

    It is possible that those who have not had the opportunity to see the original Swedish "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" trilogy might enjoy this film. As a stand alone action movie it might be okay. Both my wife and I had been looking forward to this release and came away disappointed. I am not...

    A Star Is Born

    Just returned from seeing "A Star Is Born". It was actually better than expected. Lady Gaga did a good job in her first role. (Maybe she has been playing roles for her entire career) Several of the songs were very good. She looks actually pretty good when she isn't made up in her Gaga...

    Beirut

    Had the opportunity to see Beirut this afternoon and it was better than anticipated. It isn't really a shoot-em-up though it has a bit of action. As the movie progresses you are trying to figure out what is the end game for all of the different factions within the storyline. As the movie ends...

    15:17 to Paris

    Had the opportunity to see this today. The show was about 40% full which isn't bad for a Wednesday afternoon. I have a feeling that many in the audience came away a bit let down with Clint Eastwood's latest directorial effort. Don't get me wrong the last 15 minutes was pretty good but the first...

    Godless on Netflix

    We finished watching the last of the 7 episodes of Godless on Netflix the other night and I have to say if was a rewarding viewing experience. The acting across the board was excellent. Jeff Daniels was evil. Michelle Dockery showed she can deliver much more than we saw in Downton Abby or Good...

    Darkest Hour

    We saw "Darkest Hour" this afternoon. The film probably made its way to the top of my list for 2017 thus far. Beautiful cinematography and superb acting by Gary Oldman as Churchill. The film covers about a two week period in May of 1940 when the not popular Churchill becomes Englands Prime...

    Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

    Had the opportunity to see "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" yesterday afternoon. I expected a bit of a quirky movie and it fulfilled those expectations. In many ways it was very different from what I expected after seeing the trailer. I went in anticipating a story getting to the...
