Back in January 2016, I was very lucky to be given a ticket by Pat to see Hamilton on Broadway […]
Before the review, I would like to encourage everyone to occasionally rent movies from your local independent theaters instead of just streaming from the big-name platforms. Also, when this crisis is over, the big artists will still tour and have big arenas and stadiums to play. But the smaller artists and the smaller venues are […]
I watched A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood either on On Demand or cable or a streaming channel – can’t remember which. I have not seen the Mister Rogers documentary. I was not going out of my way to see this movie either. Mister Rogers was not part of my childhood – he came onto […]
“You’re not this way by accident. It’s not a mental illness – it is a mental injury.” Cracked Up: The Darrell Hammond Story on Netflix.

peg suggested seeing Western Stars and I was all in because I am a big Bruce Springsteen fan and I thought this should be a movie seen on a big screen with big sound. I did not read anything about it beforehand, so all I knew was that it was a kind of concert film […]
I saw this on the plane, so I do not know what, if anything, was cut. It did not seem to be the type of movie where they would have to cut anything. By now, I think, everyone is familiar with the premise of Yesterday. A “failed” musician, Jack Malik, gets hit by a bus […]
