The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two (2020)

SUPER CUTE AND CLEVER!!!

[9/10 · 28 November 2020]

Don't miss out. This is a lovely family film. Heartwarming, clever, fun special effects, with a side of adventure! It was great to see Darlene Love! I'd be hard pressed to find anything but joyous holiday fun, in this film! Congratulations to Chris Columbus and the entire cast. MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Wine Country (2019)

Realistic Girls Trip

[7/10 · 25 May 2020]

For those of us ladies 45+, you will identify with this film. Don't let the bad reviews keep you from enjoying some of our best female comics. Grab a few buddies, glasses of wine and enjoy a fun chic flick.

Upload (2020– )

Original, clever and bingworthy!

[10/10 · 1 May 2020]

Don't miss this incredible show! Totally loving it and couldn't wait to write a review. Nothing like it on TV. Clever writing. During these trying times, it's nice to find light comedy that isn't the same old thing.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)

Just FLAT OUT AWFUL

[1/10 · 18 April 2020]

Save 2 hours of your life and SKIP this film. I got sucked in, as I'm a fan of Kidman and Ferrell. It's intriguing, you feel like you MUST sit through until the ending. Trust me, NOT WORTH IT!!!

Parasite (2019)

Certainly Masterful Filmmaking

[10/10 · 13 April 2020]

No spoilers in this review. I hope that every film buff sees this wonderful piece of art. Not often does a filmmaker pull off this amount of creativity. Bravo!

Younger (2015–2021)

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS

[10/10 · 5 April 2020]

This is SUCH a great show! One of the best binge worthy options out there! I cannot wait for season 7!!!! The characters have heart. It's refreshing to see people who truly love and support each other, on screen. And OMG, HOW SEXY IS PETER HERMANN! Mariska Hartigay is one lucky lady! Prepare to fall in love with this wonderful show.

Better Things (2016–2022)

Pamela Adlon ROCKS

[10/10 · 3 April 2020]

One of the best shows I've ever seen. Thank you Pamela Adlon for sharing such beautiful, heartfelt stories. Real characters, flaws and all. I'm watching The Wedding episode set in New Orleans. Can't help but sob. So vulnerable. Thanks QUEEN!

Broad City (2014–2019)

Hysterical

[9/10 · 23 March 2020]

If you are need a great laugh, binge this crack up of comedy. Be prepared for some raunchy metaphors, naughty language, cool cameos with amazing comedians (Wanda Sykes, RuPaul) and actors. The girls find themselves in the craziest scenarios. Start from scratch, you don't want to miss out!

Uncut Gems (2019)

CRAZY GOOD FILM

[9/10 · 14 March 2020]

Big kudos to Adam Sandler and all of those who made this film. Brilliant. You never know where the twists are going to land. Gritty, yet you still feel for the characters. Remarkable, suspenseful, heartfelt. Make certain to see this. Again, great job Adam Sandler!

Hillary (2020)

Too smart for most

[10/10 · 10 March 2020]

It's a pity that her message couldn't be heard, because she's too intelligent for the regular Joe. Great documentary. Thoughtful, truthful, heartfelt. Watch with an open mind, if you are not a fan.

Saturday Night Live: Mick Jagger (2012) Season 37, Episode 22

One of the best shows, EVER!

[10/10 · 13 January 2020]

It was an SNL on steroids! Jagger's open was a crack up. Jagger performing with Jeff Beck, Arcade Fire AND THE FOO FIGHTERS...it was remarkable. I don't know how they fit so much talent in one show. Walk ons with Jon Hamm and Steve Martin, classic! Thanks SNL, YOU GUYS ROCK! I was blessed to see this show with my best friend, Bill, just prior to his death. What a wonderful experience!

Sisters (III) (2015)

Super clever and fun!

[8/10 · 3 January 2020]

Those who trashed this movie are just WRONG! It's not brilliant, but lots of fun and plenty of laughs. Worth your time! Tina and Amy are precious!

Ad Astra (2019)

JUST THE WORST

[1/10 · 3 January 2020]

I read some of the reviews, but still watched it as I'm a fan of Brad Pitt. This film is God awful slow, boring, stupid. Don't waste your time, thinking it will get better, as I did. Nothing redeeming about this movie.

Booksmart (2019)

Totally adorable! Super clever!

[10/10 · 12 December 2019]

Kudos to Olivia Wilde. This is an hysterical film. It's definitely quotable. Smart for highschool genre. Should be a classic like FERRIS BEULLER'S DAY OFF. Share with your highschool and college kids. They will appreciate it!

Aziz Ansari: Right Now (2019 TV Special)

Good Job Aziz

[7/10 · 12 July 2019]

I've been a big Aziz fan, for a long time. Super talented guy. Great comedy. He's making amends for his mistakes. Ya gotta applaud that, but the low talking was really irritating. Aziz, if you are reading this, please refrain from whispering in your next special! I hope that Netflix picks up your show, again. Still, good stand up.

Dead to Me (2019–2022)

SURPRISING BRILLIANT DARK COMEDY

[10/10 · 4 May 2019]

I was sucked in within ten minutes. Brilliant acting and plot twists. I am always a fan of Christina Applegate, but Linda Cardellini SHINES! THOUGHTFUL, KIND AND HONEST. Enjoy the binge! Thanks NETFLIX!

Amy Schumer: Growing (2019 TV Special)

PLENTY OF LAUGHS!

[8/10 · 23 March 2019]

If you are a fan of Amy's, don't skip this because of bad reviews... I almost did and certainly enjoyed it! Standard Schumer fun, all the way!

Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)

Wasted time

[5/10 · 3 February 2019]

I was very excited to see this film. The cast has real acting chops, the director and editor messed this up.

Too bad, that it is such a bore.

Russian Doll (2019–2022)

CREATIVE, MUCH!?!?

[10/10 · 2 February 2019]

Love it! Incredible writing. Incredible acting. A totally fun binge. Thank you Natasha Lyonne, Amy Poehler and the rest for creating this humorous gem!

Isle of Dogs (2018)

Genius

[10/10 · 27 December 2018]

Wes Anderson has outdone himself, with this incredible film. So creative. If you are a fan, YOU CANNOT MISS THIS FILM. The animation is superb! Watch multiple times, to catch the subtle nuisances.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017–2025)

BONE CHILLING AND BRILLIANT

[10/10 · 22 December 2018]

I finally got Hulu to see what everyone was raving about, regarding HANDMAID'S. UNBELIEVABLE acting and storytelling. Prepare to BINGE, as it's impossible to get enough. No spoilers from me, as you need to digest every twist and scary turn for yourself. Then protect our rights as a citizen and GET OUT AND VOTE!

The Christmas Chronicles (2018)

Total Fun

[10/10 · 1 December 2018]

Fantastic Christmas film! So fun, unusual, outrageous! Netflix rocked this CHRISTMAS movie. Kurt Russell as the hot rocknroll Santa is brilliant. Probably the best holiday film out there. Do not miss this one!

The Kominsky Method (2018–2021)

FLAT OUT EXCELLENT

[10/10 · 16 November 2018]

A MASTERPIECE of wit! Chuck Lorre has outdone himself. Somewhat similar to Grace & Frankie(so if you love that show, you will be ALL OVER THIS), but ACTUALLY a step up. In their late 70's to early 80's, Douglas and Arkin rock. INCREDIBLE chemistry. I am mad, as I needed to get some work done today, but was sucked into binging!!!! Enjoy!

The Children Act (2017)

Beautiful, underated

[9/10 · 14 November 2018]

This is a beautiful film. Thompson and Tucci are brilliant. Their acting shines. It is poignant, thoughtful, tear jerking. It's honesty will surely touch you...unless you have a heart of stone. Don't let the mediocre ratings fool you.

Juliet, Naked (2018)

Totally Clever

[10/10 · 14 November 2018]

Either you're a fan of the this type of witty rom-com, or you are not, obviously from the reviews that are so skewed. I believe that ANYONE that didn't enjoy this film, was just either tired or a bit daft. Hawke and Byrne's, and Chris O'Doud's banter was totally fun, raw, honest. You cannot tell where the film was heading. Rare! Don't miss out. Odds are that for you it's time well spent... especially if you are a fan of any of the leads.
