Posted on July 11, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Little House on the Prairie (2026) Nostalgia’s great, in moderation. Netflix is obviously hoping to ride the coattails of Michael Landon’s long standing TV show from the late 1970’s, early 1980’s. We watched the first episode last night. It was … Continue reading →

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 →

Intimate Partner Violence is a Hidden Issue These Days

Posted on May 15, 2026 by cdsmiller17

It Ends With Us (2024) I suppose if it weren’t for the subsequent lawsuits after this film’s release, there wouldn’t have been any better way to advertise the hidden background of this complicated story. Domestic violence is a silent epidemic … Continue reading →

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 →
