Nomadland (2020)
Only for Those That Have Lived A Million Times
Phenomenal film, the planets lined up for this one. This should be required viewing in every high school. People need this culture and perspective now. The sense of humanity is finally captured. Sense of loss, hopelessness, family, creating something amazing, digging your own grave, it's all here. Van life is for those that can't find themselves in society. Who can't find enough people to support them and their artful life. This film captures a slice of time in the loss we call life. An earth that cannot provide for its inhabitants is raided by heart and companionship in a well told story. I will never forget this film.
A Winter Wedding (2017)
Called Winter Wedding on Hulu
Why is this called by a different title in Hulu??? It was cheesy. Typical hallmark type of film. I couldn't figure out who one of the woman were, it's the gay ex wife of Ross in friends; that was fun to see her again.
Enterprise: These Are the Voyages... (2005)
Appropriate For the Time They Had...
They only had so much time. What do you do? I don't like the fact they killed Tripp, that was dumb. But I felt like the cast kept it together pretty well. They needed another two years to end it right. The show illustrates how puny we all are. That even making history doesn't mean you lived a full life, and that life is short and unscripted. I say it was a good ending considering the circumstances.
Change in the Air (2018)
Not sure what I'm suppose to feel after watching...
This movie about finding purpose as we get old. It has a 'batteries not included' feel. Really stupid ending. Leaves you trying to figuring out how you are supposed to feel about the story. Really good acting though.
A Million Little Things: Time Stands Still (2019)
Wow
Wow. I mean... wow.
Also... it's great to see a script that is giving these actors the freedom to be the things they and the writer see in the world that need to be stopped/started. I hope the show makes it another year but it's feeling like it's the end of the story. A little heavy but it's a show that needed to be made. Great job, unreal episode. After a year a wondering if an episode would cover half of what's going on you covered a million little things... everything. And yet there is still so much more to discover. Wow.
Murdoch Mysteries: Brother's Keeper (2018)
Excellent, Daniel Maslaney does a Beautiful Performance
One of the best episodes they have ever written and performed. This really raised the bar for other shows in the genre. I have no idea these actors could perform at this level until this show appeared. Daniel Maslany finally gets the spotlight here and he knocks it out of the park. I can't wait to see what other things he does. I can imagine the joy Daniel and Yannick had when discovering their characters personalities so intimately like they did in those rooms. I hope many more shows of this caliber appear in the near future. So good!
The Big Bang Theory: The Conjugal Configuration (2018)
Not Very Satisfying
Felt really weird. Like everyone was in a twilight zone or someone. Predictable humor at best. Common guys!
Murdoch Mysteries: Shadows Are Falling (2018)
Mixed Emotions
Hard to watch. I can just picture and sense the writers deep into this subject in some room somewhere and can hear the conversations going back and forth. I don't know what they are trying to prove other than the show needs some serious diversity to keep the ratings where they are at. I personally very much appreciate the episode. It's been a very fun series and I'm glad they are brave enough to tackle these things, but I do not like seeing this couple angry at each other, it's very UnMurdoch'ish to get this bad with these two. I know this will have a good ending. Yannicks acting is getting very real as the character is finally breaking down his perfect routine walls and being tried like every other normal person on this planet. Very interesting path we are all of a sudden on.
Roseanne: Into That Good Night, Part II (1997)
Excellent storytelling
Pace is everything with Roseanne. She is a person that hates a premeditated presumed rehearsed life, no matter what the consequences are, which is so refreshing. I'm so tired of living in silos made up by the Jones family next door. As pedantic as this show was it was their story, not the story it was supposed to be according to society, that was always the lesson with this show; be yourself. Everything from season 1 felt like a good story and now we see why. It was all a fabrication of her broken robbed heart. I really liked this ending, more so for the actors than for me. There is nothing worse than saying goodbye and this was a story ending that no one had to say goodbye but just accept life and see what the next day day gives, no matter how sad, unscripted, and powerless to change. Seeing a woman powerless to roll back time on that couch, on that last scene was a picture of defeat and acceptance. Another story of never having the life we dreamed of when young but never given in to being anything except our genuine self. Refreshing, sad, and regretful yet somehow powerful at the same time. I liked it!
