Wet Dog Alert ⚠️:

Took Heidi for morning constitutional in light rain 🌧. It's non-stop in Phoenix. It turned into downpour & she dragged me home at full force.

1) Stinking wet dog...
2) No poop...
3) Out-of-breath unfit dude...

Worst of both worlds.

My ★★★★ review of Marvin's Room boxd.it/blDXCj

Star-studded, glossy Hollywood dramedy succeeds despite certain contrivances.

Serious subject matter but, oftentimes, laugh out loud funny (Gwen Verdon). When Keaton & DiCaprio share screen, film really finds its honesty & heart.

My ★★★★ review of Midnight Express boxd.it/blu0RV

Hellish descent into judicial & penal systems where due process, ethical treatment, & legal transparency don't matter.

2025 America? No, 70s Turkey.

Brad Davis never better, trying to retain humanity in emotional gut punch performance.

Anyone have a good recipe for Machboos, Saloona, and/or Madrouba?

With my employment in jeopardy, have a great business idea.

How about a string of Qatari restaurants in Idaho?

I've only watched 1st two episodes. A little uneven, but very funny. Powell commits!

Watching CHAD POWERS on Hulu.

Glen Powell is so stupid! And that's huge compliment.

My ★★★★½ review of Lifeboat boxd.it/bl4HUB

Survivors on lifeboat rescue enemy soldier; ethical dilemmas ensue. What's more important: vengeance, compassion, or survival?

Undervalued Hitch. Good performances, snappy dialogue, exciting seafaring action. And glorious Tallulah Bankhead!

Sometimes, Heidi needs to get her drink on...

And this family agrees on one thing, with beverages & in life, "fuck ICE!"

#NowWatching MARVIN'S ROOM (1996). Director: Jerry Zaks. Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep.

Keaton (RIP) is emotional core of this dysfunctional family drama with Streep, DiCaprio, DeNiro, Hume Cronyn & Gwen Verdon.

Rewatch. Both funny & tough. Keaton was Oscar nominated.

Honestly, friend, I was about to post something very similar. I saw FATHER OF THE BRIDE in half a dozen headlines, with zero reference to the landmark films she shot! Embarrassing!
