FUBAR is Terminator meets James Bond!
FUBAR, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro, is a mindless but fun takeoff on Terminator meets James Bond with a dash of True Lies. A totally mindless but totally fun romp! Who cares what the plot is? It is just fun hours of mischief peppered with a great supporting cast that delivers on all levels. […]
White House Plumbers – White House Bumblers?
OMG, director David Mandel’s new political miniseries on HBO Max, White House Plumbers, chronicling the ill-fated 1970’s Watergate break in, is a thoroughly engaging comedy (remember a comedy is a play on or about life) of errors. I wonder, given the poetic license of portraying the events, how could any of those involved not be […]
Being Mary Tyler Moore – Who Cares?
I admit it. I was suckered into watching the new documentary that touted it included access to her vast archives and never before seen footage discovered in her basement after her passing. Maybe it should have remained lost for the ages? As charming as some of the footage was (the new foal or maybe the […]
A Small Light Shines Brilliantly
The new National Geographic series, “A Small Light,” is heart-wrenching and heartwarming at the same time and is brilliant. Heart-wrenching because of the unfathomable atrocities of Shoah that it shines a brilliant light on and heartwarming because it so poignantly addresses this very dark chapter in history that must never be forgotten. This […]
The Diplomat is OUR new fave rave Diplomat!
The incredibly wonderful Keri Russel is brilliant with her wonderfully nuanced performance as an unwilling British Ambassador amid an international crisis juggling her high-profile, albeit grudgingly accepted, position as the new ambassador to the UK while navigating her downward spiraling marriage to a former political star, brilliantly portrayed by Rufus Sewell. Netflix has hit yet another […]

Up Up and Away with AIR!
Ben Affleck’s latest directorial effort, AIR, leads me to believe that he is currently and will continue to follow closely in the footsteps of Hollywood legend and icon Clint Eastwood as he matures and shifts seamlessly between portraying and directing characters. His latest foray in directing this illustrious cast and portraying Nike founder CEO Phil […]
Tetris Rules the Game Universe!
If you ever wondered about the origins of one of the groundbreaking handheld (think Game Boy) games, then tune into Apple +’s “Tetris”, starring Taron Egerton, formerly of Apple’s Black Bird. This is an unnerving and captivating look at the origins of the record-shattering game from the late 80’s. Why you ask? It is a […]

Lucky Hank? NO, Unlucky us!
This latest series starring Bob Odenkirk and Mirelle Enos is not a lucky way for us to spend our time watching a new series. So not intriguing as was his starring role in Better Call Saul. IMHO totally banal. Does anyone really care about a professor’s meltdown into an infantile persona? Now, I do like […]
“The Strange thing about the Johnsons”: Quite a disturbing short film
鈥楾he Strange thing about the Johnsons鈥� is an American short film that was released in 2011 having been written and directed by Ari Aster. It is a psychological horror drama that revolves around members of a suburban family where the son is involved in an abusive incestuous relationship with his father.I know! Believe me. You […]
True Lies is True Boredom
OK folks, don’t hate me as I venture into critiquing TV shows! And my first one is? A total disaster called True Lies. Well, as they used to sing at the Miss America pageant, “Everyone Can’t Be A Winner” and this one certainly is not. Not even a runner-up. I understand that the pilot of […]
It’s time to embrace your inner child
OK I am SO NOT a fan of animation, but, it’s time to embrace your inner child with a 5-star experience. 88 minutes of great fun reminiscent of the first time seeing Aladdin or any other animated comedy. Mummies, released by Warner Brothers who are more famous for big live-action films, is a fabulous […]
Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever
First and foremost, a moment of silence in honor of Chadwick Boseman ( in other words, T’Challa). His death was truly heartbreaking and left such a huge gap in the back panther family. This sequence movie even paid tribute to Chadwick, and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. So anyway, this […]
