Kate Mara (Morgan) stars in this based on a true story movie. Common (Hell on Wheels) is her commanding officer and Bradley Whitford (West Wing) is her dad. Mara usually annoys me - she is not my favorite Mara. I focused on the dogs in this film. It made me cry a lot. I wanted to hug all the puppies!!! All in all, I say: SEE IT
Part of a series of films from long ago from Dark Universe. I don't know if they are going to make the other movies in the series or not. This wasn't bad. Tom Cruise (MI) is cursed by a mummy who wants to bring evil into the world. There is lots of action. Russell Crowe (Gladiator) plays Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. All in all, I say: SEE IT
Drew Barrymore (Charlie's Angels) and Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood) are husband and wife realtors. Somehow she is infected with a zombie virus and together they must find a way to keep her fed. It is a comedy. There are some scenes in a Rite-Aid that are quite funny. The two of them together are fantastic. The neighbors, their daughter...just everyone does such an amazing job. It was so funny. All in all, I say: SEE IT
A Canadian TV show about the Hudson Bay Company. After one show - I was done. It's just a bunch of back stabbing and bad acting. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
A Disney movie I somehow missed. A girl in Uganda helps her family by playing chess.It's sad, its hopeful, and it was amazing. The acting, directed, and editing were spot on. They filmed it on location which made it more amazing for a true story. What a difference a teacher can make. All in all, I say: SEE IT
A Netflix original. I put off watching it because there was so much hype I didn't want to be disappointed. It was amazing!! Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) is a phenomenal actor. He plays Count Olaf. Patrick Warburton (Rules of Engagement) plays Lemony Snicket. They do each book in 2 episodes and season one is the first four books - they are doing the other books. I hope they do all 13. The scenery, costumes, acting, and directing are great. All in all, I say: SEE IT - read the books first though.
A Canadian Netflix production. It is based on the novels, but doesn't follow them exactly. I really, really liked it. I thought it would bother me all the twists and turns that weren't in the book - but no. All in all, I say: SEE IT
