  • Valentine’s Day: Harry Potter Heartache or Happy Times January 25, 2021
    Harry Potter had a lot of heartache. He was orphaned. He lived under the stairwell. He was in love with the grievously named Cho Chang, but just like the sorting hat got things all sorted out–right person to the right house, Harry Potter found his true love. The Truffle Cottage has a 3″ x 1.75″ […]

  • PBS: Miss Scarlet and the Duke January 17, 2021
    The year is 1882 and Miss Eliza Scarlet (Kate Phillips of “The Crown”) has a tip, but from an undependable source and that ends with her in the possession of a glass eye. Miss Scarlet has ambitions to work on her own, but she’s not quite ready. In flashbacks, we see how her father has […]

  • The Melancholy of ‘Minari’ ☆☆☆☆☆ January 15, 2021
    During one of my May sojourns in pursuit of an AKC championship, I crossed a changing landscape, going from worrying about traffic jams in Los Angeles to worrying about having enough water in a two-hour traffic jam in Texas to worry about my car being waterlogged in Arkansas. Cities and signs became scarce. Arkansas was […]

  • Law & Order: SVU, Season 22, Episode 5–‘Turn Me on Take Me Private’ Missed Opportunity January 14, 2021
    “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” began its 22nd season addressing racism and the uneasy relationship between the public and the police in New York City due to systemic racism, but that’s been limited to a binary of Black and White. This week’s episode, “Turn Me on Take Me Private” seems to be the perfect […]

  • ‘Law and Order: SVU’ Returns with a COVID-19 New Year’s January 8, 2021
    Are you feeling good on the seventh day into the new year of 2021? In “Sightless in a Savage Land,” you learn some icky things, that on New Year’s Eve, sex trafficking is big business and there’s lots of money to be made out of a 13-year-old girl. The missing girl, Nydia Davis (Vanessa Carrasco), […]

  • Pondering on ‘The Midnight Sky’ ☆☆☆☆ December 27, 2020
    So much has been written about George Clooney’s beard in his new film, “The Midnight Sky,” you’d think it played a major role in the film. The beard is thick and grizzled and shaped with the expertise of a show poodle’s grooming, but the rest of Clooney’s coiffure has been shaped more like a careless […]

  • ‘Finding Yingying’: Listening to the Voices of Three Women ☆☆☆ December 24, 2020
    “Finding Yingying” begins with a howl of despair. It’s the voice of a mother, speaking the international language of a great tragedy–outliving one’s offspring. By the end, director Jiayan Jenny Shi has conjured up the image of a promising young scientist whose exciting adventure into a new world ended in death. At a time when […]

  • ‘Wonder Woman 1984’: A Woeful Waste of Time and Talent ✮✮ December 24, 2020
    Patty Jenkins’ sequel fo the 2017 “Wonder Woman” is a bloated excuse for reuniting Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman/Diana Prince with her true love, Chris Pine’s Steve Trevor. There are some moments that delight, a brief one about 1980s fashions and a special cameo by the 1970s Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, but that’s not enough to […]
