Halloween (2018)

This is the "true" third movie after the original 70s versions of 1 & 2 in the series. Jamie Lee Curtis (Perfect) stars again as the woman who is targeting by the serial killer who has been locked up for decades. He gets loose on the anniversary of the original killings and he goes to find her. She is ready though. Judy Greer (Ant-Man) also stars. It was well done for a horror trilogy. All in all, I say: RENT IT - if you're a fan.

Winter Love Story

From Hallmark channel a romance. A new writing who famous a parent wants to get her own work appreciated. She goes on a road trip type book tour with a very famous science fiction writer. The fall in love. It's cute and well done. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Ruby Herring Series

From Hallmark, a new mystery series, starring a consumer reports reporter for a local paper and a detective new to town. Taylor Cole (Green Hornet) stars. The plot of the first one was shaky, as well as, some of the acting. It's something new though. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Can You Ever Forgive Me?

This is based on the true story of a writer in NY who had a bestseller and then gets a case of writers black - which last years. Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) got an excellent job hitting that sweet spot between comedy and docu-drama. The writer gets caught by the FBI for selling forgeries of famous writer's letters. She made thousands. The movie is very dark - scenery and plot. Richard E Grant (Hudson Hawk) also stars. All in all, I say: RENT IT

Cardinal

A Canadian crime series - now in its 3rd season. Billy Campbell (The 4400) is the lead detective. He has a gift, but he is also dealing with the fallout of his last undercover gig that involves his bipolar/manic wife. Karine Vanasse (X-Men) plays his new partner - or is she? I have watched the first 2 seasons on Hulu. The two main detectives do a good job. The crimes are okay plot wise. The background characters aren't very interesting or played up well. Season 3 will determine if I keep watching - they need some new angles. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Goliath

An Amazon Prime series in its second season from David E. Kelley (LA Law). Billy Bob Thornton (Slingblade) is a once hot shot attorney who is struggling to keep his family, work, love life, and sanity together. In season 1 - he is helping a woman sue a company for the death of her brother. It ends up being a huge conspiracy. In season 2 - it gets very dark - and gross - there is a drug cartel and a serial killer and there are body parts and it's just gross, gross, gross. The acting is okay considering I don't really like him. All in all, I say: SEE IT - season 1 only.

Glass

The last movie of the trilogy that started with Unbreakable then Split. M. Night Shyamalan puts all the characters together in one place. Why would anyone risk it? The ending of the movie will show you the one thing that's been missing from the graphic novel like movie trilogy. Who is the real bad guy? If you have seen the first two films then this one is well done and good. It's not great though - it struggled plot wise toward the end in my opinion. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
