Night Sky (2022) If you’re a senior, this TV show (on Amazon Prime) may appeal to you. Otherwise, it may seem boring. The first teleportation flight we witness in episode one is their 856th (or at least that’s what I … Continue reading →

Posted on December 30, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Glass Onion (2022) About an hour in, I wonder if this was a “Ten Little Indians/And Then There Were None” remake, but I was wrong. It’s much more fun than that. Glass Onion is the second film in this newly … Continue reading →

Maybe This isn’t as Far-Fetched as You Might Imagine

Posted on December 21, 2022 by cdsmiller17

The Peripheral (Season 1 – 2022) Normally, I stay away from way ‘out-there’ TV shows, because they take so long to get anywhere and I’m always left with a feeling of being let down by the ending. This show is … Continue reading →

Sanctuary and Spiritual Guidance

Posted on December 15, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Three Pines (2022) When I first heard the title of this series on Amazon Prime, I thought, “Another ‘Twin Peaks’?” I was right, and I was wrong, at the same time. There is a strangeness element, but it isn’t so … Continue reading →

Posted on December 2, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Roy Rogers (November 5, 1911 – July 6, 1998) I don’t have to say too much about this man for people my age. His birth chart is enough. This time is considered excellent. The Moon and the North Node conjunction … Continue reading →

The Good Doctor (Season 6, Episode 7) I didn’t expect that a whole episode would be taken up with the premature births of six babies to one family. That the story turned out to have a happy ending was the … Continue reading →

Posted on October 30, 2022 by cdsmiller17

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) This is probably the first time I’ve seen a film about what it was like for a German foot soldier during the Great War. It wasn’t a great war, at least not on … Continue reading →
