And Speaking of Dictators…

Napoleon (2023) Timely, non? For some reason, the image of Napoleon sitting on his horse in front of the Sphinx reminded me that Napoleon was seeking to conquer the world, just like Alexander the Great. (And I may have heard … Continue reading →

They Say “With Age, Comes Wisdom” but Does It?

Posted on November 5, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Old (2021) On a whim, we watched this film on Netflix last night. I wish we hadn’t, now, partly because we are getting old, and partly because I don’t like psychological horror movies, like “Signs”. However, we watched it until … Continue reading →

Being Ageless: Blessing or Curse?

Posted on October 23, 2023 by cdsmiller17

The Age of Adaline (2015) I missed this one, first time around. The premise seemed highly improbable and I was probably not feeling in the mood for a romantic fantasy. It stars Blake Lively, and now that I’ve seen this … Continue reading →

A David and Goliath Story for Today

Posted on October 20, 2023 by cdsmiller17

The Burial (2023) This may be the last film we’ll watch on Amazon Prime Video. It’s based on a true story and it has some very good moments, some totally unexpected and some that were telegraphed ahead of time, perfectly. … Continue reading →

Have You Ever Wondered Why Someone’s Psyche Splits?

Posted on October 9, 2023 by cdsmiller17

The Three Faces of Eve (1957) I am not an expert on this phenomena, but I do sometimes get glimpses behind the curtains. Such is the case of the third person who, in my limited experience, claims to be connected … Continue reading →

The More I Think About It, the More It Makes Sense

Posted on September 30, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Jay Sebring is the Reincarnation of Paul Bern The more I researched this story, the more it didn’t add up, until you think in terms of reincarnation. Paul Bern married Jean Harlow in July, 1932. But he had been previously … Continue reading →

The “Haunting” of Sharon Tate

Posted on September 29, 2023 by cdsmiller17

The Mysterious Death of Paul Bern (December 3, 1889 – September 5, 1932) Honestly, this is not a photo of a happy couple, although it was taken on their wedding day in July, 1932. In fact, I’d lay odds on … Continue reading →

And Just When I Thought Sharon Tate’s Story was Over

Posted on September 29, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Jean Harlow, Sharon Tate and the “Creepy Little Man” I think I’d come across this story previously, but then I had another stray comment from one of Sharon’s reincarnations. If you could hear my inner Jean Harlow voice…she is so … Continue reading →

The Eternal Friendship of Sharon Tate with…

Posted on September 27, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Bruce Lee (November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) I guess I should have seen this coming, but it would seem that Bruce Lee‘s friendship with Sharon Tate is ongoing. I won’t share the details, but a person living today … Continue reading →

One Scene Took Me Back to My High School Years

Posted on September 22, 2023 by cdsmiller17

Firefly Lane (2021 – 2023) We have been watching this Netflix series for the past week or so. We are almost done our marathon viewing. As an emotional roller-coaster, it has been a hard slog, for me personally. But it … Continue reading →
