Keep Breathing (2022)
Netflix screwed up the message keep watching
I agree with other reviewer who pointed out how Netflix prompts this as a survival story .... It is but not the shallow human against nurture over done drama. This series is about a woman surviving her past, her insecurities, her doubts with the help of nature and some seriously tough circumstances.
It is beautifully set, brilliantly acted. The male characters do a great job depicting what it could look like to to be a great man and partner. The main actress does extraordinary job letting us see and feel the journey ... it's familiar to many.
I also appreciated the authenticity brought to her struggle both to survive nurture but also her real choice to work through her personal demons. Or is inspiring without being insipid and to Hollywood idealized.
The Girl King (2015)
Very enjoyable!!
Loved how the silliness of the battle between Catholic and Protestant faiths are seen with the backdrop of Descartes philosophy. Loved the idea/depiction of a leader out to cause peace through the pursuit of knowledge while a bunch of silly men try to win her hand to gain her power. Sorry to see so much of the promotion and commentary is about her sexlife ... women are SO much more than who they sleep with.
Being the Ricardos (2021)
Well done!
I grew up watching reruns of I Love Lucy and loves it!! It was great to see the back story. Well acted and excellent script that showed the nuances of the times without being a bashing film that makes it all wrong. The human dynamics between a Hollywood's couple, the paranoid communism hunting of the time and the quiet and not so quiet sexism all show up but as they likely were ... a quiet, normal background that everyone learned to navigate.
The Morning Show (2019)
Restore my hope for humanity
I am so happy the courage and insight required to make a show like this is alive and happening! From the incredible script writing to the sensational acting by all this show hits all the points. The confusion, the hurt, the responsibility and irresponsibility that manifest in the complex issue of sexual harassment and abuse. It is a multifaceted issue and we can all experience the complexities through these characters.
Extra bravo the Jennifer Aniston who distinguishes herself as a excellent actor in this character. Reese Witherspoon is pretty spectacular as well but we kinda knew that already.
The Misfits (2021)
Fun for a date night
We enjoyed this movie. No surprises simple
Plot but very entertaining. It was nice to have a movie that made us laugh. This a movie for when your brain needs a break and your funny bone needs a tickle.
The Morning Show: Chaos Is the New Cocaine (2019)
TV about real life
The writers knocked it out of the park with this one! Alex's speech to the executives was everything many of us ladies have wanted to say many times! Steve Carrols character does a fantastic job of showing the nuance that is what real life is about.
Without Remorse (2021)
Waste of good actors
Tim Clancy stories typically have intelligent and interesting stories. This one tells the entire story in the one paragraph on IMBD. I liked the diversity in characters and acting was decent but why does action flick mean no story, no plot. Watching just action and Hollywood showing off it's technology is boring.
The Glorias (2020)
A must see ... A reminder there is a hero available in us all!
A beautiful piece in every way!! The story, the quotable moments, the incredible journey and most of all the pure humanity of this beautiful person. I absolutely love the scenes with the different ages of herself ... so how it is. I completely get why this women is a mentor and hero. We all could use a dose of the kind of love she embodies.
Tommy (2020)
I Like it!!
Good characters excellent actors and decent story lines. I don't get all the low reviews unless it's haters that just don't like straight talking female leads busting stereotypes. Good network TV watch before bed.
The River and the Wall (2019)
Stunning footage of nature at its best !!
Everyone should see this movie, it is beautifully done. A very straightforward beautiful inquiry into what a wall really means and is it even possible given the realities of the geography.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Loved women being women and kicking butt !'
I really enjoyed this film. It was a great date movie for my husband and I. I hit a decent story line that I couldn't have written myself and my husband got some good action. I extra loved that our main hero did not give into just being more masculine to win ... she got to have emotions AND kick butt !!
