NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Stranger in a Strange Land (2023)
The downward spiral continues!
The main storyline bored me by about minute five. However, what really concerned me was that Dr. Palmer's daughter, Victoria miraculously went from around age 8 in Season 19 to around age 13 in this season. Hello! I realize that writers are allowed a certain amount of leeway in aging characters, but this was a HUGE leap! What's going to happen in Season 21: Victoria graduates from high school? McGee's kids enter Fifth Grade? Seriously! This once great series is limping along like a brontosaurus on two legs! Maybe former lead, now only Producer, Mark Harmon needs to put on his bifocals in search of better scripts!
Baby Face (1933)
Being a whore, floor by floor
Very slick, very Pre-Hays Code, and still very sassy. I would highly recommend seeing this movie, even if you are not a fan of Stynwyck. She's funny, she's sexy, she's hard-working - and love that perm she gets!
Barbara Stynwyck is fantastic as a doozie of a floozy who rises up in the world, perfectly portrayed by a bank building. John Wayne (in a suit!) plays one of her first conquests.
The last three minutes are a letdown, but the sets, the lines, the clothes all add to one heck of a movie about rising vertically in the horizontal position.
