Movie Monday - 10/17/2023

Lordy, Y’all! The Birthday Season has been very busy. Movies have been low on the list, but then, there haven’t been any worth seeing lately.

I checked online just now to see if there’s any buzz for the Oscars. Hoards of films that I don’t think have been released are listed. Hopefully, theaters will get busy!

In the meantime, I’m watching a myriad of things on my streaming services - movies and shows.

Why did Keri Russell star in Cocaine Bear? It was loosely based on real bear attacks, but the film was stupid. I do not recommend.

Your Place or Mine, has best friends Debbie (Reece Witherspoon) and Peter (Ashton Kutcher) switching houses for a week. She has to be out of town for a class and he volunteers to watch her son while she’s away. It was predictable, but cute.

Steven Carell stars in Welcome to Marwen, a film based on the true story of Mark Hogencamp, who was brutally assaulted. He created a fictional village to help him deal with the trauma and his PTSD. It was good.

Streamed Series - 

Minx Season 2 - Starz

Only Murders in the Building Season 3 - Hulu

MK out.

 

Movie Monday - 10/2/2023

Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas is starting in a few weeks. I’ll be watching most, if not all the premieres. The last couple of year’s worth made challenging to watch - there are too many new ones made per year!!!

The Dig, starting Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes is adapted from a novel with the same  name that was inspired by true events. It tells the story of the excavation of the Great Ship Burial at Sutton Hoo. 

In Everything About Her, a high powered woman executive learns the hard way what should be more important in life. Vilma Santos-Recto, Angel Locsin and Xian Lim star in this heartwarming film in Filipino with English subtitles. It was very good. 

Good Streamers:

Seaside Hotel - PBS Passport - It is one of the best shows I’ve watched since A Place to Call Home. It’s a must watch!

World on Fire - PBS Passport 

Virgin River Season 5, Part 1 - Netflix

MK out.
