Very Entertaining
This show has me on the edge of my seat rooting for the under dogs and/or women each event. The level of strength and agility some of the men have is awesome to watch. It's interesting how the voiceovers sort of match what you would expect the person to really sound like. My one gripe is that they should identify what the person does or is known for - more often. There were several scenes where only the Korean words were put on the screen so I had no idea which person I was watching because of my bad memory. Hopefully they will let us know who each person is better going forward the way they did in the first couple of episodes as the season goes on. I definitely would watch a season 2 of this.
My Name Is Pauli Murray (2021)
Finally- Credit Where Credit Is Due
I'd heard Pauli's name for the first time when I watched RGB. So, I committed it to memory at that time, researched more about Pauli, and wondered when someone would create a documentary on Pauli's contributions. Finally! It is very well put together, educational, and tactful with Pauli doing a large portion of the narrating. I'm sure Pauli would be proud.

Love This Show
Each week I get upset that I have to wait to see the next episode because I absolutely love this show. Bunk all the people overthinking the plot, it's just entertainment. Love Jason Momoa, love the sets, love the show's opening design and the opening music, and the costumes too. Yes, the queen is annoying but that just means she's great at playing her part just like King Joffrey in GOT. We hate them because they play their parts so well. 10 stars from me!
Elle (2016)
Continuity Goof
When Michele and Patrick are closing the shutters because of the storm...after closing the bedroom shutters, the shutter hinge is still loose and not fully down but then in the next shot after he says "Sorry" and flees, the hinge is fully locked in place.
Hangman (2017)
Unrealistic
I found wayyyy too many unrealistic things happening in this movie that kept me from being totally immersed into their reality. The fact that the reporter was even allowed to tag along under such dangerous conditions; the fact that everyone was constantly trampling evidence and touching things without gloves on at every crime scene; the fact that they let Christy go home with no overnight surveillance...all unrealistic. Couldn't get into it. But Urban is a tall refreshing drink of water and very easy on the eyes!
Beautiful Boy (2018)
Cried Through the Whole Movie
This movie is my ultimate fear for my children put to film. Timothée Chalamet was fantastic. Definitely convinced me that I was watching his own life spiral out of control instead of him being an actor portraying a part. I was lost in this film the entire time and even "boo-hooed" when I thought he'd lost his battle on that dirty bathroom floor. Oscar worthy performance.
L'amica geniale (2018)
Best Thing on HBO Currently
This series is the best kept secret on HBO since Game Of Thrones. I was immediately hooked and now I'm eagerly looking forward to the next season. Great directing and acting of a spectacular story. All along I'd viewed Lila as the Brilliant Friend until the words were spoken by her and I then had a wonderful "aha moment" in realizing that all along it had been Elena instead.
Life Itself (2018)
Give It A Chance - Bunk the Critics
The critics hated this movie but I actually liked it. It's definitely a 'watch-it-twice' type of movie because after you figure out what's going on, you realize you may have missed some things but I think because I'm already familiar with Fogelman's writing style from watching and loving "This Is Us" that I get it...and I know how his stories appear to be 'all over the place' in the beginning but end up as Patinkin's favorite word, "connected" in the end.
