Animal Kingdom: Pressure and Time (2022)
Man I MISS Oceanside!
I lived in Oceanside for 4 years. I watched the scene where Pope and Deran go to the building to evict the guy and the shootout happens. It took at least 8 hours to film that 5 minute scene but was so cool to watch. The stunts (which the actors did) and the shooting and the multiple takes were all so entertaining. Such a great production. Saw Shawn Hatosy close up, he walked right by me. I wanted to get an autograph or photo but he was in THE ZONE so I didn't bug him. We can't wait to see how this series ends but MAN I'm gonna miss it so much. I now live in Texas and love my new home but I MISS OCEANSIDE and the beautiful beach and area so so much. I used to ride my bike on tbe Strand almost daily and passed Baz's house hundreds of times. I also saw them building the skate ramp and I've been at the building that is Derans bar. Lots of great memories and I will rewatch many times just to see my old hometown agian.
Step Into... The Movies (2022)
Love The Houghs
I adore Derek Hough. Julianne also but Derek for all the OBVIOUS reasons. Man is he dreamy. What I love about him is also what I love about this special. He is a throwback to a time when men were sexier, suaver, and oh so fabulous. I am also a fan of ALL the old Hollywood musicals. I WISH HOLLYWOOD STILL MADE THESE! Enough with the Superhero crap and some garbage... Let's revitalize real artistic expressions and dancing and singing. I would watch unlimited episodes or movies like this.... I want to see them pay homage to The Sound Of Music, Mary Poppins, Cinderella, Xanadu, etx. Moulin Rouge is my all time FAVORITE MUSICAL EVER.... I would LOVE to see all the numbers done by Derek and Julianne. PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE THESE 2 THEIR OWN WEEKLY VARIETY SHOW... a la Donny and Marie in the 70's!
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
NIC CAGE IN ALL HIS CAGINESS
I am a HUGE Nic Cage fan from WAYYYYYY BACK when he did Valley Girl (one of my all time favorite movies). I even stalked him once in LA and also ran into him at a mall in LA but was too overwhelmed to get his autograph... so my boyfriend did. Anyhoo.... I've seen just about every movie he's done and I love his style. So OF COURSE I was stoked to see this.. Cage can really poke fun at himself. It's funny, silly, weird, referential, and sweet. I loved it. I am hoping Nic Cage comes back in a big way.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Far exceeded my expectations!
I was one year out of high school when Top Gun came out. I LOVED Tom Cruise. I had said goodbye a year previously to my (Tom Cruise lookalike) boyfriend as he went to the Air Force Academy to become a fighter pilot. So my new boyfriend forbid me from seeing Top Gun in the theater out if jealousy. Because I was an IDIOT, I honored that wish. I have always regretted that. I saw Top Gun eventually on VHS then DVD many times. So when Top Gun Maverick was being made I was STOKED. Hey Covid hit and I waited.... AND WAITED. Anyways, I was so afraid this sequel couldn't possibly live up to my expectations... WOW WAS I WRONG! This is a superior movie in every way. The writing, the cinematography, everything is perfect. The flight scenes are so exciting and immersive.... YOU MUST SEE THIS IN IMAX! The music, the callbacks to the original, all flawless. I came out of the theater PUMPED! Even my husband, who isn't impressed by anything, LOVED it. Tom Cruise really delivers and the young cast is also good. RUN to see this... it's so much fun!
ER: Love's Labor Lost (1995)
I can relate
So this episode of ER aired the day before my daughter was born.....early, after a very traumatic C-section after being hospitalized for pre-eclampsia. Yeah....my daughter almost dies, I almost dies, but luckily we didn't. I watched this episode as I was beginning labor. Yeah. Yikes. It always makes me cry and not only because that could have been me but also because it's so sad and touching. Just exemplary writing and acting. There will never be another show like ER.
