Was He Born This Way or Did Life Make Him?

Posted on June 6, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Marty Life Is Short (2026) I’m not a fan of Martin Short. Some would consider that sacrilege. His SCTV family definitely think he’s the funniest Canadian comedian ever. Over-the-top, I would say. But what about the man, under those masks? … Continue reading →

An Octopus is the Narrator

Posted on May 13, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Remarkably Bright Creatures (2026) This Netflix film is a bit of an odd one. The two main characters are fairly anti-social, but seem to develop a rapport with the octopus in their care. For his part, the octopus senses something … Continue reading →

Their Secrets were Hiding in Plain Sight

Posted on April 25, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Another Film Based on a True Story:

Posted on February 25, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Ordinary Angels (2024) This one was filmed in Winnipeg, and it shows. The use of natural lighting is the giveaway that it’s from Canada. The amount of snow that the producers had representing a blizzard in 1994 Louisville, Kentucky was … Continue reading →

And Speaking of “Lucid Dreaming”…

Posted on February 21, 2026 by cdsmiller17

In Your Dreams (2025) How’s that for synchronicity? This animated movie has been on Netflix for over three months, but I only saw it for the first time, last night. The children are siblings: Stevie is about 12, Elliot is … Continue reading →

Why Did This Show Appear to Me, Last Night?

Posted on February 18, 2026 by cdsmiller17

When They See Us (2019) Of course, I’d heard about the “Central Park Five”. As a miscarriage of justice, there are few as devastating as this. I watched the first episode last night, and was amazed at the way the … Continue reading →

We All Love a Fairy Tale Ending, Don’t We?

Posted on February 10, 2026 by cdsmiller17

And They Lived Happily Ever After Or, in this case, “Foreverwood”, the finale of “Everwood”.A lot of story lines got tied up in pretty bows, and the future looked bright for most of the couples. The ‘villains’ of the story … Continue reading →

“Maybe You Should Stop Calling [Her]”

Posted on February 5, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Peer Pressure All through the third season of “Everwood” I’ve had the feeling that the main characters are being strongly influenced by the people around them. That’s nothing new, of course; it happens everyday. It’s a plot device, for sure, … Continue reading →
