A “Reverse Mrs. Doubtfire”? No, Not Really

Posted on December 11, 2025 by cdsmiller17

My Secret Santa (2025) A bit of a fluffy snowflake, this one. The suspension of belief helps, but it also interferes with the enjoyment of the two main stars interacting. (And this was filmed in Kamloops, BC, last February.) To … Continue reading →

Posted on December 6, 2025 by cdsmiller17

THAT Christmas (2024) We were visiting relatives yesterday, for an early seasonal visit. I was handed the magic viewing wand when Netflix was switched on the TV. (At least I had something to do.) The second film I chose was … Continue reading →

The Title of This Christmas Film Tells You All About It

Posted on November 22, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Champagne Problems (2025) This is not a Hallmark film. That’s already a good thing. The setup is the same, though. Executive Sydney Price flies to Paris to acquire a champagne brand for her company before Christmas, but after promising her … Continue reading →

This is the Most Gorgeous Monster I’ve Ever Seen

Posted on November 13, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Frankenstein (2025) Ordinarily, I wouldn’t bother with a gothic horror film, but something about this one was different. The essence of the story is told in this trailer. It’s a serious business, creating life. And when it’s done too well, … Continue reading →

This Film was Billed as a “Protest in Heels”

Posted on October 23, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Dumplin’ (2018) To be honest, I’d never even heard of this film, until we discovered it on Netflix, last night. In some ways, I was constantly reminded of “Muriel’s Wedding”: the reason? Because Dolly Partin’s songs were the background soundtrack … Continue reading →

After Awhile, You Begin to Doubt Your Own Sanity

Posted on October 17, 2025 by cdsmiller17

The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025) Out of curiosity, even before researching the storyline, we watched this film on Netflix Wednesday night. It’s a bit convoluted, and the mystery is compounded by the fact that Laura may be suffering from … Continue reading →

This is What a Depraved Killer Looks like Astrologically

Posted on October 3, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Ed Gein (August 27, 1906 – July 26, 1984) I could have subtitled this one, “How to Gein the World and Lose Your Soul”. This person’s story was the basis for the film, “Psycho”, way back in 1960. So, when … Continue reading →

Memories are Tricky Things to Pin Down, Really

Posted on September 8, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Sleeping Dogs (2024) As you can surmise, the full title could have been “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie”. And if we’re being honest, we lie to ourselves about the past, always. This isn’t a Mandela Effect, this is a deliberate reframing … Continue reading →

The Tasmanian Devil is Alive and Well in Barbados?

Posted on September 1, 2025 by cdsmiller17

Amy Bradley Is Missing (2025) This three-part Netflix documentary is a cautionary tale. We all think Caribbean cruises are safe family vacations, but (and especially without parental supervision) they can be dangerous, at many levels. Normally, at this point, I … Continue reading →
