For those who are interested in the art, lives, and travels of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, check out this just released documentary, "Frida." It’s a beautiful mixture of archived films, still photos, animations, and is superbly narrated. I enjoyed it more than the movie "Frida" with Selma Hayek from 20 or so years ago. It's on Amazon Prime.

Imagine Entertainment FRIDA

An intimately raw and magical journey through the life, mind, and heart of iconic artist Frida Kahlo, FRIDA is told through her own words for the very first time, drawn from her famed illustrated diary, revealing letters, essays, and candid print interviews — and brought vividly to life by...

We just watched part I of the newest Mission Impossible movie. I can only compare it to Titanic. They could have cut out 40 minutes without losing anything.

Pride and Prejudice (2005)- A favorite early 19th Century romance set in England, so well done. Outstanding characters all around. It’s practically impossible not to like this.

This story reflects an interesting historical fact regarding inheritance laws in 19th Century England that limited women’s’ ability to inherit.

So if you had a bunch of daughters, you mostly hoped you get them married off.

The Count of Monti Cristo (2002)- Betrayal and revenge, excellently told. Outstanding performances. A favorite book in college.

Elvis (2022)- Good movie, the early years were great, I enjoyed the story being told from the perspective of the Colonel (Tom Hanks). Austin Butler who I just enjoyed watching in Masters if the Air, does a great job portraying Elvis. He even sings as Elvis in the first half of the movie.

It’s amazing (even though acting) is watching young female teens lose their minds watching this performer gyrate on the stage.

Did Austin Butler Sing The Songs In Elvis? (It's Complicated)

Is that Butler singing? The answer is yes… and no.

They could’ve not made it at all and not lost much. And I hate these two-part money grabs, though they’re hardly the first to do that. I’m afraid the M:I series has just become a vehicle for Cruise to demonstrate his considerable stunt abilities at the expense of solid storytelling.

On the other hand, we’ve spent the last 3 nights watching the first 3 Tremors movies. The first two held up, while the other 4 (5?) were never that got to start with.

I love those! Of course, we are also anxiously awaiting the next Gru/Minions movie. We are very mature at my house.

the little things (2021)- Crime drama, thriller with Denzil Washington, Rami Malek and Jared Leto, blah.

The Offer.

It's a ten episode series about the making of The Godfather. Not a documentary, but rather a movie using actors to recreate how the movie was made, including problems and issues that came up during its production.

The acting was a little ho-hum in the beginning, but improved a lot during the series. It was entertaining.
