Hillbilly Elegy (2020)
Very touching
I hemmed & hawed about watching this because it just didn't seem interesting. Once I knew it was a memoir about a rags to riches story of someone in my state, and someone seudo-famous, I became interested. Once I saw that this story about a VP nominee, I absolutely had to watch it. I didn't really pay attention to all the acting like the critics in did. I was just absorbed and went along for the ride. I'm going to bet that any negative reviews from this point on will just be because who wrote the book and narrated the movie. And that's sad. I hope that IMDb realizes that and really scrutinizes the comments going forward. Anyway, I'm not a Glen Close fan but I thought she did well as this old cantankerous Mamaw. And I think Amy Adams portrayal of Bev may have seemed over the top, but that's really how people are when they're messed up in the head.
Firefly Lane (2021)
Better than the book.
I really had zero intent on watching this because it looked so hokey. Mostly becase Kathrine Heigl makes hokey movies. But, then, I realized it was from the book I had just finished. Well, you know how movies are when they're based off of books. It's rare to find a movie adaptation that can meet your expectations and it couldn't possibly exceed those expectations. Well, they did exceed. I was pleasantly surprised that they decided to use the girls' three major stages of life simultaneously throughout the entire series was genius. They made it blend flawlessly. Katherine and Sarah, as well as Ali and Roan portrayed their characters so well. I definitely felt the highs and lows just as these characters did.

Lexi
Chyler Leigh did not seem like she wanted to be there. 🤔
Allegiant (2016)
Ugh! Totally Ruined
I can't believe how they totally messed up this series. It doesn't even follow the book. It's too bad because the story's ending is amazing.
The Electric Company (1971)
I Told You So!
I'm so thrilled that this is coming to video! I was still very young when this show aired but some things just stuck with me like glue. To this day I still blurt out "Hi, I'm Letter Man" in my sheepish voice and yell out "Able to leap capitol "T" in a single bound." Most people look at me like I have lobsters coming out of my ears but I don't care. I know what I'm talking about. I can still see the shadow heads who had word syllables popping out of their mouth to create one word. I can't wait for my little ones to see it so I can watch them interact with the different skits. AND... I'm really not one of those I-told-you-so people but I can't wait to say "I TOLD YOU SO!" to everyone who didn't believe me that Morgan Freeman was on this show and this is where he pretty much got his start.
