Howl (2010)
I’m still seeing blurry from crying because I felt that I related to Allen Ginsberg’s soul. I am not sure that I am a fan of his poetry style, but I understood generally, and more than Leaves of Grass for that matter, what he was talking about because I knew “the lingo” and I […]

Vision
Actually watching this movie turned out to be something of an adventure. I had it on a streaming service, but when I paused it about halfway through and then returned to it, it was gone. (Evidently the streaming service happened by coincidence to drop it from its service at just that time.) That necessitated finding […]

My Octopus Teacher (2020)
I think the first mention of this title was in a television broadcast of some kind. I then found it on Netflix and decided why not. At least I knew I was not in for a series. And because I am a very sensitive person, I could not help, actually cry, twice while viewing […]

The Witches (2020)
Since I started seeing advertising for this title, I have been wanting to see it. I just love a magical, witchy story. Signing up for HBOMax be damned; besides, I could probably get away with a week free and cancel before the week is up. It’s part of my new attitude: I can’t take my money with […]

In Time (2011)
Better than expected , but then again, I love this genre of movie: end-of-the-world, small guy versus big government. And who could resist yummy Justin Timberlake? A quick research and development revealed Johnny Galecki – another known name – was in this movie also, though I can’t remember his character. Additionally, Matt Bomer was […]

Some Huge Good Star Wars News
Some huge (good) Star Wars news came out of the Disney Presentation today and I’m admittedly a lot more hopeful about certain things. I was worried they were going to spin off everybody that appeared on The Mandalorian this season (whereas I think some belong squarely on Mando) but Favreau and Filoni are working together […]

Documentary Review: Alabama Snake (dir by Theo Love)
Snake handling has never been for me. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I know that there are a lot of people who incorporate handling poisonous serpents into their religious rituals. And I can even kind of see the appeal of it. If the idea is that your faith is so strong that you don’t have […]
