The first half of this film is a meandering, slow plodding mess. I read John Steinbeck wasn't at all happy with the screen version of his popular novel. The Aaron Copeland's musical score overshadowed a weak screenplay. I believe this film intended to score a sentimental note with critics but overshot its goal to present a heartbreaking story about a boy and his horse. Okay performances by Robert Mitchum and Myrna Loy. I understand there are much better versions of this story in film. I would recommend finding another version while hoping for the best and listening to the Copeland soundtracks.

Abby's
(2019)
The worst sitcom in the history of television
20 May 2023
Hasn't this bad idea for a sitcom been done before? I cannot say enough about this sitcom. If you blinked you would have thankfully missed this dreadful, unfunny sitcom. Nothing about this show could have saved it from the early demise it deserved. It was a low rent attempt to attract a following like the on enjoyed by the legendary Cheers. The first episode never explains why it was a good idea to have a backyard bar. The characters, dialogue and set were all dull. I wonder of writers for sitcoms have run out of ideas to write shows that people,will actually watch. I want to believe they don't intentionally write this kind of dribble for profit.

MISS BROWN NEEDS TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!
19 September 2021
Miss Brown's recipes are okay for flavor and a disaster for being healthy!!! She adds butter and sugar to everything!!! It is no wonder that she is morbidly obese. She reinforces the fact that the majority of black women in this country are obese. There is no excuse for black women not taking charge of their health and appearance to do better. She is otherwise attractive woman. With her platform she can promote healthy recipes and make a difference.
Attraction to Paris

Nothing to see here

This is a horrible movie on every level from the annoying sountrack music to the stupid aimless plot. The terrorist next door has been done much better many times before. Hard to believe anyone would make a movie this awful in 2021.
Mr. Church
(2016)
A very surprising role for Eddie Murphy
31 May 2021
This was a surprisingly different role for Eddie Murphy done extremely well. His portrayal of the mysterious Mr. Church was engaging. He absorbed the character so well that Eddie Murphy the comic disappeared. The fact this film was based on a true story made this an amazing and moving story.
Patch Adams
(1998)
A challenge to enjoy...
21 April 2021
I did not enjoy this film. Too contrived, frenetic and confused. It came up short both as a drama and as a comedy. The Patch Adams bio wasn't interesting enough for an entire movie. Robin Williams was just okay as the main character. His portrayal came across as one of his stand up routines.
Magnificent Obsession
(1954)
Impossible plot! Horrible acting!
14 February 2021
Impossible plot! there's less than zero chemistry between Hudson and Wyman. Wyman's acting is wooden and uninspired. At the time, Hudson was under scrutiny for being in the closet gay. He needed this film to save his career.
One More Time
(1970)
An embarrassingly unfunny film
1 February 2021
Had an opportunity recently to see this film for the first time on late night television. What a horrible waste of talent in this sordid mess of a film. Cannot figure out why a legend like Sammy Davis would be in a film this bad. He must have needed the money at the time.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
(2020)
My first Borat film. Definitely worth the time
27 October 2020
I had never seen a Borat film before and only did so this time because of the media buzz. While I did not find the film very funny, I absolutely loved how the film exposed the hypocrisy of sleazy old Rudy. He lied about not doing "anything inappropriate." Aside from that, there were scenes I did not find funny but rather gross.

Lose the constant background music!!!
15 August 2020
I am so annoyed with the constant background music GMA plays during segments. For example, there was a segment on managing personal finances during the pandemic. The entire time the expert who had advice was speaking there was that annoying background music playing making it impossible to hear the speaker. This practice has existed on GMA for years!!! I find myself watching GMA less and less for this reason.
The Last Tycoon
(1976)
So boring!!!!
12 August 2020
This is supposed to be a behind the scene, palace intrigue look at the movie industry. The amazing cast of talent is totally wasted in this dull, boring film. It was a chore watching the poor dialogue and character development.
Yesterday
(V) (2018)
This movie is poorly made, dull and stupid
2 August 2020
To the point, this movie sucks! The "plot" is all but invisible and the dialogue silly. Who apologizes after jilting someone at the alter seven years later? Too much annoying background music adds nothing to the film. A really cheesy film.

Like your show but...
19 July 2020
I really like your show. Especially your emphasis on family and friends. I wish you featured more healthier versions of your recipes. There is a disproportionate level of obesity in the African American community and especially among Black women. The incidence of diseases resulting from obesity impacting Black women is alarming. You have a wonderful platform to make a difference by encouraging people to enjoy delicious and healthy foods.
Until September
(1984)
Awful, just awful don't waste your time
14 May 2020
Granted, this movie is from the the early 80's when a lot of films made then don't age well. However this one is among the worst. The Karen Allen character is over written as too hypersensitive. This story is cliche and predictable. The scenes of Paris were the best part of the film.
The Goldfinch
(2019)
Dreadfully boring! Not worth your time
11 May 2020
Ugh!!! This was one boring movie!!! The plot rambled all over the place. The performances were tepid at best. None of the characters developed into anything worth watching. No wonder this had such a short stay in theaters.
Sorry that TP ended this series on such a bad note

A Little Late with Lilly Singh
(2019–2021)
The worst 30 minutes on television
26 January 2020
I was channel surfing and paused on this horrid mess of "comedy" The guest was John Legend who looked like he regretted appearing on such a substandard show. Singh is loud, boorish and simply not funny. She annoyingly bug her eyes and yells while interviewing guests. She embarrasses herself with the worst jokes ever! If this mess lasts another three months it will be a miracle.
A Face in the Crowd
(1957)
Does the Lonesome Rhodes character remind you of anyone? 😀
29 June 2019
This is one of my favorite films. Watching it recently reminded me of current politics in this country. Griffiths played the main character role to pure perfection. The Lonesome Rhodes character is reminiscent of a famous political figure who has a prominent presence on Twitter. ( can you guess who? ) The supporting cast; Patricia Neal, Walter Matthau, Tony Franciosa and Lee Remick all give stellar performances.
