S.W.A.T.: Three Guns (2022)
Way too much social justice preaching
I'm a Democrat, but even for me this show is getting further and further away from an entertaining action show and more towards preaching. Come on people this isn't why we watch this show!
Ghosts: Possession (2021)
Laugh out loud funny
The funniest episode so far. Possessed-Jay is just DEAD-on perfect! And seeing Hetty come sliding back after hitting the ghost barrier was hysterical. Plus the tripping wedding planner is classic. An ensemble triumph. This an episode to watch over and over!
Yellowstone: I Want to Be Him (2021)
Continues to entertain!
Still the best show on TV. I love worrying that Walker will be killed off (hugely talented Ryan Bingham). I love gasping at what Beth will say or do and cheering her on. I love worrying about Jimmy and deep down knowing there's an amazing Cowboy in there! I love Kevin Costner's flawless and subtle acting as the patriarch, John. I love watching gorgeous Kayce with his glorious long locks and beard (he's so damn sexy riding a horse) and hoping Monica quits bitching about something. I'm so glad Tate is doing better and finding his inner warrior. I love Rip's devotion to Yellowstone Ranch and to his beloved Beth. Every episode is full and always ends too soon.
Just please cut out the ridiculous long commercials for Taylor's next project!
World Pet Games (2021)
No Yorkies in sight!
Promo pic shows Yorkie, but none competed! Cheesy show. And what scent was put at the finish line to make the animals stop from crossing it and winning too soon?
Stowaway (2021)
Why all the negative reviews? Excellent movie.
This was a very entertaining and thoughtful movie. Maybe the fact there were no bad guys caused the negative reviews from some, but I found it a beautiful movie about people in an impossible situation and ultimate kindness and sacrifice. Excellent!
Stay (2021)
The demise of beauty - and I enjoyed every moment of it!
Olivia (played by the very beautiful Ashley Park) is a model with big dreams and to get where she wants in her career, she needs subscribers.... Thousands of them! The movie starts with one chic, glossy look after another as she builds her brand and her number of subscribers. She is always up-beat and smiling. But knowing that something is going to wipe that smile off her face encourages the viewer to keep watching.
Her very supportive and long-suffering boyfriend, Jules (Jesse LeNoir) adds some comic timing and good one-liners to the movie and helps relieve the tension that is building.
This is a very low budget movie, and yet the use of cell phones, iPads etc., that the characters are using, (they are social influencers after all - and it's all about creating content) make the film work.
And oh, the star of the movie has to be that wretched motion-activated camera (set up by Jules) as it slowly shifts the viewer's gaze to a curtain, gently moving in the breeze, with glimpses of the city just outside, and then back again, ever so slowly, to the mannequin and then back, all the time creeping us out at each eternal second!
I'm not a great fan of the found-footage style of movie making, but this movie really drew me in and didn't disappoint. It also gets better the next time you watch, as you catch things you might have missed. Director Brandon Walker has been very creative in making this movie and doesn't miss those little details that will make you think about this movie long after you watch it.
(Full disclosure - I played a small role - "telephone caller" and I'm a supporter of this movie).
Jesus Christ Superstar (1973)
Still a classic all these years later!
Ted Neeley will always be the ultimate Jesus Christ Superstar - what a voice - and his "I only want to say" is a heart-breaker. His high notes are powerful and exciting, and they come at just the right moment for ultimate effect. I saw him play this part live on stage twice, and he totally owns this role. He is passionate and compassionate, yet his anger is truly explosive! There are so many memorable songs in this musical, and all performed with intensity, by very talented performers. The costumes are fun too - especially the flared pants and the fringes. The fight(songs) between Jesus & Judas are very moving. King Herod's scene is a blast - and has never been improved upon in other productions. The music of Andrew Lloyd Webber is timeless - it is as fresh today as when it was first written. I'll never be tired of watching this movie, and hearing this great music.
