Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration (2022)
Fabulous production!
I'm so surprised and bewildered by all of the negative comments regarding this show. I thought it was one of the best and most brilliant television musical productions that I've ever seen! The dancing was AMAZING, the singing wonderful, and the imaginative creativity was over the top fabulous! I supposed I can understand everyone that was thinking it was going to be a replica of the original movie, being a bit disappointed. But wow, how could you not be impressed by the positive energy they created! I felt like it was better than some of the Broadway shows I've seen! Pure Disney magic! I could watch this again and again! Bravo! ππΌππΌ
Hot Forever (2022)
This one got a little too serious for me
Going to a comedy show should be fun. But in this case, it wasn't very fun. I normally like Iliza ... she's very intelligent & talented, and her comedic timing is great. But if I had paid good money to sit in that audience in Ohio on this July night, I would have come out of there thinking "what in the world just happened, and where did our "date night" go???" Yes, she has a microphone in her hand and wants to use it to make the world a better place, but somehow she turned a night of comedy into a night of being scolded. I agree with many of her opinions, but I don't want to hear about them at a stand-up comedy show. Maybe she could have "touched" on those subjects for a minute or two, but she just kept going and going and it all started to feel uncomfortable and weird. Sorry Iliza, but you missed the mark on this one. Keep telling the world how you feel and keep trying to make it better, but you're a comedienne, so you should keep it funny.
Monsters (2022)
Excellent!
I knew this mini series was going to be tough to watch, and I was right. It was extremely disturbing and at times I had to look away or turn it off completely until I could go back and continue watching. But ... it was excellent! The creators, writers, and actors did an amazing job telling this horrific story. They took their time and they got it right. It never felt rushed. They did a fantastic job developing the characters so that we could really get to know them as the story unfolded. Evan Peters should be nominated for an Emmy for his performance as Dahmer. He was phenomenal, as was Richard Jenkins and Niecy Nash.
Bells Are Ringing (1960)
Annoying
I'm a big Dean Martin fan, but this movie is annoying to listen to and even harder to watch. I kept thinking it would get better, but it actually got worse as it went along. I can't believe I held out watching it until the end, but I thought I might as well give it the old college try. Sorry, but this movie is a great big thumbs down for me. ππΌππΌ
Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin: Ladies Night Live (2022)
Sorry, but this flopped for me
I absolutely LOVE stand up comedy, but this show was not very good at all. Some of the gals made me slightly giggle at times, but I was getting bored by the political and pandemic jokes. Enough already. Jane and Lily, I'm sorry to say were just plain awful from the get-go. It was all so scripted and awkward and I felt kind of bad and embarrassed for them. They were almost unwatchable. Sorry ladies.
Spencer (2021)
Borrrrrring !!
I normally love all things Diana, but this movie ... ugh! I've never been so bored. It was choppy and depressing and I felt nothing for any of the characters. I'm still yawning. Don't waste your time. ππΌ
Schmigadoon! (2021)
Very clever ... must watch!
Modern day characters meet extremely corny old fashioned musicals (think, Oklahoma!) make this new comedy lots of fun to watch. The musical numbers are great, and some of the dialogue is simply hilarious. I think the writers nailed it when coming up with this beauty. Could anyone else go for a big ole bowl of "corn puddin" right now?
Reckoning (2019)
Terrible!!!
Ugh, this show! It leads nowhere! The ending is terrible! Seven and a half hours of my life completely wasted watching this garbage.
I Know This Much Is True (2020)
Deserves an Emmy!
They did an amazing job bringing Wally Lamb's book to life. The acting is superb! I will be very surprised if Mark Ruffalo and Rosie O'Donnell don't win Emmy's for their roles. Both were outstanding! This series is a must watch!!
Beyond Boundaries: The Harvey Weinstein Scandal (2018)
Complete waste of time
Wow ... this is a terribly made documentary. Very poorly done, and ridiculously boring. Don't bother.
Green Book (2018)
Go. See. This. Movie!
This movie absolutely deserves the Best Picture nomination that it has been given. I hope it wins! Hands down...a gazillion times better than Roma (blech!). I thoroughly enjoyed Green Book and all of it's amazing characters. Viggo and Mahershala are phenomenal!! I look forward to seeing it again! Run don't walk to see this movie!
Dirty Dancing (1987)
Blech!!!!
I have never understood the popularity of this movie. Terrible acting, stupid storyline, unlikable characters (and no, it's not a generational thing, because I'm the same age as Jennifer Grey). It's just a ridiculous movie, plain and simple. That's all.
Roma (2018)
I really wanted to love this movie, but...
I understand why this movie is getting so much attention. Beautiful cinematography and artistic qualities and all that. But lordy it was as sloooowww as a snail. I felt like I kept waiting for something that never happened. The dog kept pooping and pooping all over the place and no one was bothering to scoop it up, and yet all I could do throughout the film was worry that something bad was going to happen to this bouncy, poopy pooch! Glad I watched this film just to see what all the fuss was about. Wasn't a complete waste of time. Best Picture Oscar? Not a chance. But worth watching...once.
9-1-1 (2018)
Getting worse with every episode!
This show started out mediocre, but I hung in there the entire first season, hoping it would get better. It managed to stay mediocre. When season 2 began, I was once again hopeful that this show had improved. It didn't. In fact, it went WAY beneath mediocre. It's downright awful. I will be astounded if there is a season 3. Boo Hiss. Two thumbs down. ππΌππΌ
I Am a Killer (2018)
Too much "filler" stuff!
I love shows like this, but boy did they get it wrong when editing this series. Instead of just focusing on the story, they give us these long drawn out shots of random things. Boats drifting down ocean front property, trees billowing, restaurant workers pouring coffee and serving up the next order of fries. Really? Aye, aye, aye...I was ready to bang my head against a wall. Instead of this looking creative, it only ended up being completely annoying and taking away from the story. This is the sole reason for the low rating of a "3" from me. Sorry Charlie. Boo Hiss.
How It Ends (2018)
This is how it ends??? Are you kidding me???
We watched these people go through SOOO much! One sh** storm after another...only to have it end with NO explanation whatsoever! It literally ends with no ending. Ridiculous. Boo Hiss.
