Movie Review: Jurassic World — Fallen Kingdom
2.5 stars out of 5 The first Jurassic World was half boring, half exciting, and I’m sad to report, the ratio has definitely not improved. So where were we? The park is in shambles, but that’s OK because a volcano is going to wipe out the island anyway. Ah, but Richard Attenborough’s old partner (was […]
Modern Kindness
I was the only one in line at the Rite Aid until she showed up, a little confused, not sure if she entering the queue from the front or the back. We joked a little (“You’re after me!”; “Maybe I am!” she flirtatiously replied), and I’d say we were “meeting cute” except that it would […]

Movie Review: Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
4.5 stars out of 5 Even the trailer made me cry, so I couldn’t wait to see this documentary. I guess I had two main Mister Rogers periods in my life: I would’ve been among the second batch of devoted O.G. viewers in the early 70s. Then, in my college years, I wound up in […]

What I’ve Been Watching: Edition XV
So sometimes your personal life changes and you fall behind on your shows but then maybe your personal life changes again so you catch up on your shows. Anyhoo, this is what I’ve been watching recently. LOVED The Joel McHale Show With Joel McHale (Netflix) Back in the day, Talk Soup was my jam. Kinnear, […]
Movie Review: Hereditary
3.5 stars out of 5 This movie is seriously f’ed. Enjoyable would be the wrong word, but… it holds your attention, that’s for sure. This psychological thriller/horror tale is slow and tense, with occasional helpings of “OMG, that is really messed up.” First things first: I don’t think I’m supposed to find Toni Collette extremely […]
