Kodachrome

Ed Harris (Westworld) is a famous photographer is dying and wants to make amends with his estranged son Jason Sudeikis (Permission). His nurse is played by Elizabeth Olsen (Wind River). It’s nothing great, but it wasn’t horrible. The writing could been better. Harris does the best job. It’s on Netflix. all in all, I say: Skip it

Royal Matchmaker

Typical Hallmark romance movie. A woman who helps people find love helps a Prince and they end up falling in love. You’ve seen one Hallmark you’ve seen them all. All in all, I say: See it because the acting and editing were good. Love happy endings.

Flint Town

A documentary on Netflix about the 100 officers on the Flint, Michigan police force that serves over 100,000 people in a city with no clean water and in the top 5 places wi5 highest murder rate. It addresses all sorts of issues and it was touching. All in all, I say: See it and I don’t say that about a lot of reality shows.

I Feel Pretty

It made me feel like a reverse Shallow Hal. Amy Schumer (Trainwreck) is a self conscious woman with low self esteem who hits her head and awakens thinking she is a gorgeous, skinny woman. Her confidence rises and she gets what she wants. Or does she? It’s about self esteem in women. It was funny and Michelle Williams (Greatest Showman) does an amazing job as Amy’s boss at a cosemteics company. Tom Hopper (Black Sails) makes an appearance too. All in all, I say: See it

I Am Evidence

Marisa Hargitay (SVU) stars in this documentary about the testing or rather lack of testing of rape kits throughout the US. It is tragic, sad, and infuriating. It’s on HBO and it’s a must see. All in all, I say: See it

The Crossing

Steve Zahn (Sahara) is a local sheriff helping an oxidized human called an Apex played by Natalie Martinez (APB) find her adopted human daughter. Dozens of people from the future have travelled back in time for a better life but the government is preventing them access to anything or anyone. It has it moments and other times it just seem predictable. All in all, I say, Skip it - I have a feeling things are going to get more and more complicated instead of coming to a conclusion.

Lost in Space

The original show 65-68 was about a spy who stows away on a ship and causes it to fly off course. The robot was the coolest part of the show. The remake on Netflix is amazing! It’s goes so much deeper than the original. The science and the effects are so great. Penny and the robot are my 2 favorites characters. Toby Stephens (Black Sails) and Molly Parker (Deadwood) are the parents. It’s is a multi-ethnic show which I love. West comes in later instead of already being on board. He second best change other than the robot is Dr.Smith - it’s Parker Posey (Best in Show)with an agenda. I can’t wait for season 2. All in all, I say: See it
