Movie Views


We appreciate our Readers' Views

Thank you, Barb. Have a great day.

I enjoyed reading this month's Movie Views as always. It just so happens that I watched My Mom Jayne last night. Gregg is often doing gigs in the evening and I find myself fishing around for something to watch. I stumbled upon the Jayne Mansfield film and completely agree with your review. I may end up watching it again as Gregg wants to see it now.

I just watched Lee per your recommendation. Very moving with a powerful subject, thought it was well done and what a surprise ending. It’s one of those movies I won’t forget.

Thanks, as usual, for your latest movie reviews. I don't know if you remembered I reviewed Black Bag several months ago, I think in March. It is on my Facebook pages. I didn't really recommend it but I guess I did think it was better than you two thought. Maybe I was just hoping it would get better as it went along.
One other thing--I've been very impressed with what I heard Mariska say about the movie of her mother and have been wanting to see it, but I don't have any streaming devices and can't find out where I can watch it. I don't mind paying to see it and was hoping it would be on TV somewhere and it is, but I don't watch much TV, so don't have the channels it is being shown on, I guess. I keep hoping it will come to the Art Cinema, a theater near where I live, as they show documentaries and foreign films and it maybe will be there sometime soon. I don't watch much TV but I do watch late night reruns of the programs Mariska Hargitay plays in--the detective stories--can't think of the title of the series right now. Glad to hear you liked her movie about the mother she barely knew. I am pretty sure I will,too.

Thank you for your reviews of two very interesting documentaries: MY MOM, JAYNE and DEAR MS. I was aware of Jayne Mansfield growing up, but of course cannot relate the way the two of you do. Why didn't we hear about her incredible musical talent? It was a touching documentary, and there was (sadly) so much more about this woman than the public knew.
DEAR MS. was cool - very informative about the feminist movement, but toward the end I was feeling that it was just a bit too much. Thanks again though - I do enjoy the documentaries.
You gave JAWS an "A" - hooray - me too! I will have to check out West Wing - Saw a couple episodes years ago, but never really followed it. And ER - definitely my favorite hospital series!
Everyone is talking about SEVERENCE - I saw a little bit of the first episode, but couldn't get into it. Maybe it's time to revisit the series.
Looking forward to the final Downton Abbey movie (I'll be the first in line)!
As for the series I've followed/streamed, will have to wait for season 4 of The Gilded Age, and we've had to say goodbye for the last time to Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte, Miranda and their friends (you knew I was a SATC fan). Did I enjoy all 3 seasons of And Just Like That? No, definitely not, but I would continue to watch no matter what, haha.
Keep those recommendations coming, and take care, you two!
