A Cure for Wellness. Dont know where to start on this slow burning oddity. Once it finally got going it descended into convolution. Some silliness about a green company man sent to return a wayward chairman who is convalescing at a Swiss health resort. We discover that the resort's director is a reincarnated medieval baron and he is carrying out some bizarre experiments on his patients. Dont waste your precious time on this.
I just watched "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". Nothing but shouting, drinking, and arguing throughout the film. The name "Big Daddy" must have been spoken 400 times! Tennessee Williams can keep it. h.p.
I watched Hallmarkchannel for the final time tonight. I was disappointed that a lesbian marriage was part of the show,
Well, last night was not a good night for t.v. - but that's just me. There were lots of good shows, but not too much that interested me. So, on a lark, and just for some escapist fare, I asked my wife, who was in another room busy with paper work, what she would suggest. She told me to use her Net Flick and look for a series or movie. So I did, while looking at the write-ups, and I came across a series that caught my attention. The series is called Designated Survivor, starring Keiffer Sutherland. Well, as far as the plot, its a little "out there". I thought it was very well done and very fast-moving. It got my attention, and in this day and time, very appropriate. I can't give away the plot, but it seems to be well suited for a conservative like me. I only watched 2 episodes, and look forward to the next one tonight. Its much better than I thought it would be. I have always thought of Mr. Sutherland as a fine actor, just like his dad.
I just watched "Get On Up," the story of James Brown. Superbly portrayed by Chadwick Boseman, who died just a few weeks ago of cancer at 43. RIP to a genuine talent. In my misspent youth I was always a huge fan of James Brown, and soul music in general. If you enjoyed the music of James Brown and the Famous Flames, give this one a look.
It was great Until ..the next season with the moaning groaning and sexual doings of the two black dudes in bed...have not watched it sense.
