Like you, I felt it was an okay film. The idea of surviving a plane crash in a snowy mountain wilderness is what pulled us in. I figured along the way sparks would fly between the two leading characters. :)Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-30107612927150062522023-03-07T05:02:20.170-05:002023-03-07T05:02:20.170-05:00Not only have I not seen any of these, I haven'...Not only have I not seen any of these, I haven't even heard of any of them.

Wait, I did see Ant Man at some point.<br /><br />I finally got to see Babylon and Everything Everywhere All At Once. They were both a bit much, but I'm glad I got to see them. I saw them with my dad. He was not terribly enthused.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-8546415805598914462023-03-03T11:42:42.759-05:002023-03-03T11:42:42.759-05:00Hi Birgit,
I went into Glory not quite sure what ...Hi Birgit,<br /><br />I went into Glory not quite sure what to expect. It turned out to be an excellent and compelling if bittersweet drama. Ant-Man & the Wasp is just what you said, actiony and flyaway. I was somewhat disappointed in The Mountain Between Us. The leads were strong as expected but after a decent start I thought it lost its way and ended flat. <br /><br />Haven’t seen Tar though I will eventually and Even Money is one I don’t know but with that director and cast it’s something I’ll put on my too see list and hope for the best.<br /><br />As far as your TV viewing I haven’t seen your second two but “Who’s Line Is It Anyway” is often hilarious. <br /><br />I didn’t see a lot of great stuff last month but a few interesting things. <br /><br />I did just catch up with Babylon (though on March 1st) and thought it was worth seeing but not fantastic. It was tonally all over the place and much too long. Brad Pitt and Jean Smart came off best. <br /><br />Actually, the two best shows I caught this month were both vintage television dramas from the days of live broadcast the first was “A Town Turned to Dust” starring Rod Steiger, William Shatner and Fay Spain and directed by John Frankenheimer that was shown on Playhouse 90. The other was a wonderful original broadcast from Kraft Theatre of “Patterns” with Ed Begley, Everett Sloane and a just starting out Elizabeth Montgomery in a small role that inspired the 50’s movie of the same name. Great acting in both shows. <br /><br />The other film I saw worth mentioning was Rock Island Trail. A colorful 1950 drama about the railroad’s expansion into the Midwest in the 19th century and the problems involved starring Forrest Tucker and Adele Mara. Lots of action, decent acting and an interesting story.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-22149258476837471282023-03-03T08:14:36.458-05:002023-03-03T08:14:36.458-05:00Who's Line is it Anyway!

I forgot that you run this feature at...Hi, Birgit!<br /><br />I forgot that you run this feature at the start of the month, explaining why I am late today. I hope you are well and in good spirits, dear friend!<br /><br />Mrs. Shady is a Civil War buff and is also crazy about Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. Glory is one of the first films she and I watched as a couple. We both enjoyed, but I don't think we have watched it more than that one time.<br /><br />I like Carla Gugino and the late tough guy Ray Liotta, and you must see the multiple episode story arc of the TV series ER in which Forest Whitaker stalks and terrorizes Luca and Abby. It unfolded in the fall, 2006 season, the same year Even Money was released.<br /><br />Mrs. Shady and I watched The Shield and liked Walton Goggins in it. I very much like Judy Greer, an actress who has quietly racked-up an enormous list of film and TV credits. Recently, Judy was a Scream Queens presenter at Shady's Place in the role of Maggie, the woman who buys a cute little pup that rips the throats out of anyone who threatens his owner in the TV movie episode Into The Dark: Good Boy. We also recently saw Judy in The Thing About Pam. I like most superhero TV series but, oddly, don't like to sit through feature films and their sequels nearly as much. However, Ant-Man and the Wasp looks like a hoot.<br /><br />I very much like the psycho thriller genre and, as I told you, recently become a big fan of Cate Blanchett, another prolific actress, through her appearances in Mrs. America and Don't Look Up. Therefore, Tar is a good bet for me.<br /><br />Plane crash survival stories are nothing new, but I enjoy watching films on the subject that are well done, especially when based on a true story. However, if romance is the primary focus, I would probably take a hard pass on The Mountain Between Us.<br /><br />Thank you for a week's worth of fun and entertainment, dear friend BB. Please be good to smooch monster Harley and have a nice weekend!

Now we have to binge-watch the rest.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045554938847356871noreply@blogger.com
