Netflix Series “Bodies” review
Bodies started well. The mystery is compelling from the start, and the acting is top-notch. All of the characters are interesting, except for Maplewood who neither my wife or I liked from the beginning. Also, the period sets and costumes were fantastic. The scenes set in 1890 and 1941 were extremely well done. After the first…

PSA for Pluto, the anime series on Netflix
—
I wouldn’t call myself an anime fanboy, but I enjoy the genre. Anime often does a good job of exploring complicated social and psychological issues. I didn’t hesitate when my wife suggested we watch Pluto, eight episodes streaming on Netflix. It has an 8.2 on IMDb, a remarkably high rating for any show, regardless of genre.…

We have a trio running things under the control of Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson); Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), and Kamala Khan (Iman…

Documentary Review – The Pigeon Tunnel
There is a more than somewhat axiomatic saying dished out to aspiring writers…“Write what you know.” This can be good advice. If you wish to write a series about that misadventures of a group of teachers then it is a definite bonus to have spent some time working as a teacher. If you are writing…

Short Movie Review – The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
Oh my word, this brings back memories! Back in my first round of college days I was an avid reader of Roald Dahl’s short story collections. I can still remember reading Someone Like You, Kiss Kiss, and Switch Bitch whilst lying on the bed in my room. I can also remember the downside of a…
