I thought the acting in “scenes from a marriage” was almost too painful to watch -but I must say the last 2 episodes of the “Morning Show” were definitely of that character. It hit really close to home. The death of the past announcer felt like a death in the family. Jennifer Aniston is very skilled at drawing the viewer in to her problems and I mean the last episode with Aniston’s character talking directly to the audience roasting from a fever that was Covid 19 – well, it left me speechless. Not too many shows are focusing on the Pandemic – but this one really dealt with it most effectively.
Tom Hanks continues his record of excellence in “Finch”. I’m really not a fan of armageddon type films -but in this time of Pandemic this film rings true. Also Tom always adds a touch of humanity to the proceedings – his truest friend is his dog. But he creates another friend in his creation of a robot whom he teaches to drive and to take care of his dog. The ending is sad since Tom’s character doesn’t make it to San Francisco and the Golden Gate bridge. One of my very favorite places
This is a great series with a newcomer at the helm. This is a woman’s film. I was happy to see that the Puget Sound area has a network of places for people who are domestically abused physically and mentally. It also sheds light on mental health problems of the homeless. It is very well written , acted and directed. This maid is very determined to see her daughter protected and cared for. The portrayal of the “maid” is the actual daughter of Andie MacDowell , Margaret Qualley. I know mom must be very proud of her accomplished daughter. Speaking of Andie MacDowell – her portrayal of the Bi Polar mother in the piece is quite accomplished also. It is definitely a stretch from her past work. Accomplished, earthy and over the top.
For the horsewoman/cowgirl. There is nice turquoise and pipestone in the strap- 22 inches. $40.00 + shipping. People outside of the US – check with me on shipping cost.
Jake Gyllenhaal – part of a gifted acting family – deserves an Oscar nomination for this performance. There are many twists and turns in this script and a growing crescendo of angst. He is definitely up to the task. Fasten your seat belts! He plays a cop who answers 911 calls and gets really caught up in one call that takes place during an LA fire emergency.
The first thing that comes to mind is that this is extremely well acted and directed. It is so much “all there” that it is almost too painful to watch. I’m sure that it was exhausting for the actors to make. It is refreshing to see work like this that captures the elements of the original version that sheds glimmers of new light on the piece. I must say that I felt more removed from the first version – sort of like a train wreck that you’re not on. This version involves you more.
I have read some negative reviews – but I liked this film. It is an unapologetic story of loss .
I even shed a tear at the end. I’m a Kevin Kline fan from way back. And I like Melissa McCarthy. No one takes themselves too seriously – it is all down – played. And the therapists get their just deserts.
I don’t think that this is the best film he’s done – but this is a pleasant little film. Mr. Eastwood’s character is asked by an old friend to locate and return his son – who is somewhere in Mexico. It’s a road picture. Old man , teenage Mexican. The kindness of strangers also figures in this film in the Senora who most graciously feeds them. My favorite line is ” I can’t cure OLD”. I don’t agree with his politics – but even in advanced age – Mr. Eastwood is a fine actor and director.
This is a musical with a very unusual idea – on the day of one of our country’s darkest hours it shows the kindness of Canadians when the flights for that day had to be grounded in safe territory. All of a sudden small towns had to accommodate weary and frazzled travelers. This isn’t a dreary show at all – the kindness of strangers wins out and the music is very upbeat and rousing . I love seeing broadway shows on televison! I wish it happened more often!
