The Gilded Age (2022)

I just found this series and binged it. I like it and am looking forward to the next season and hopefully it will have a lot more of them to come.

Priscilla (2023)
laurie621 2 points 2 months ago.

Why did they even bother? So boring. Priscilla may have suffered a bad marriage, but she lived in luxury and was not beaten. She lived a life of wealth had some success in tv shows.. all of which she never would have had otherwise. She has absolutely nothing to complain about. As far as EP is concerned.. He didn’t want help to get off drugs and spent his money as hard and fast as he could leaving his child with practically nothing. One has to say he made his bed. Many people die young and never had a good life before hand. He had it all. Everything a human could want and he pissed it all away.

Yes, you are right…he did do well in love me tender.. and I didn’t give him credit for Wild in the Country, Flaming Star and King Creole.. But to me they just didn’t quite suit him. But Kid Galahad, maybe because it was close to his real personality, was exceptional. I have heard many times he was shy humble and soft spoken and was not one to take offense. This was a sweet movie.

I have always been a big Elvis fan.. since I was in grade school and went to the movies and saw him on the big screen …and it for sure was not his acting that attracted me.. I fell in love with him like everyone else but as a kid I didn’t realize he couldn’t act. When the new Elvis movie came out I got to thinking about him again and decided to download all his movies and watch them.. Well I couldn’t handle it.. they are such silly movies and to make it worse.. he couldn’t act for s_it so most of them I haven’t watched.. Then yesterday this movie caught my interest and low and behold it was a great movie.. Elvis’ niche was evidently playing a rather naive sweetheart of a guy. Way to go Elvis!!

Elvis (2022)
laurie621 3 points 1 year ago.

First let me say.. it was an enjoyable watch and he had Elvis down cold in his speaking voice. It would have been great to see him perform if not for his inability to move like Elvis.

Secondly.. It was so fabricated it wasn’t funny.. but yet I understand why they did it. Elvis was very masculine and even if he had been inclined to wear blue eye-shadow,lipstick and mascara…the men at that time would have taken him out and beat the total sh_t out of him. And believe me the women would not have not screamed out of control. Even in the last part of his career it wasn’t like that. Women swooned and did some screaming.. but not in the way as in the movie.

All the women loved him madly..and he will be alive until all my generation passes. I fell in-love with him in grade school and there has never been any male performer that could hold a candle.

In conclusion.. In respect for his memory..they could’ve and should’ve found someone to do a better job portraying him on stage.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)

This has got to be the funniest movie I’ve ever seen… I love it.

Sleepless in Seattle (1993)
Birdsforme 1 points 1 year ago.

A Hanks and Ryan classic.

laurie621 1 points 1 year ago.

I agree. Think I’ll just watch it yet again…it’s been several years.

Nobody (2021)
laurie621 1 points 1 year ago*.

What a great little movie…and only cause Bob Odenkirk was the star…. No one else could have made it anything other than a run-of-the-mill,over-done action flick. Only Saul Goodman (he’ll always be Saul to me) could make this movie special.

Mudbound (2017)
laurie621 1 points 1 year ago.

This is one of those movies that has a heavy impact.. It’s so interesting and then catches you off guard and makes you weep. This one stays with you for awhile and is a Five Star Movie.

The Babe (1984)
laurie621 1 points 1 year ago.

This was a lovely movie.. and i’ve watched it several times over the years.

Suits (2011)
laurie621 0 points 1 year ago*.

I cannot believe there are not hundreds of comments about this delightful series. Perhaps if it were crap with stupid laugh tracks it would be shown appreciation? Anywho.. I’ve spent many hours of enjoyable viewing (binged it twice).

The Exorcist (1973)
Piglet -1 points 1 year ago.

I did not watch this movie and still have not watched it. I’m not keen on satanic movies. I was in junior high when it came out and every time the theme song came on the radio I would freak out. I would have to get up and get my bible and sleep clutching it all night. Yes, it did traumatized a generation but I’m not going to watch it anytime soon. I’m in my early 60’s and I’ve watched a lot of different genres but draw the line on satanic movies/tv shows. Linda Blair’s career seemed short lived to me…..gives a person some thought.

laurie621 -2 points 1 year ago*.

I agree with you Piglet. I was in my early 20s when this horrible movie came out. Before I loved scary movies, that is what they were called back then and I just had to watch it… That was the last for me. The lord told me in my spirit these things really happen and not to watch them. I never did again.

Last Chance Harvey (2009)
laurie621 2 points 2 years ago.

Sweet little movie.

Michael Jackson: Searching for Neverland (2017)
laurie621 1 points 2 years ago*.

I believe MJ’s entire life was one big lie. That being said… as far as not being able to go out in public without being recognized is one of the biggest falsities ever put out by the media in behalf of the so-called movie stars. It’s ridiculously easy to disguise oneself beyond recognition in a normal public setting… And that’s all I have to say on the subject..lol have a nice day folks.

White Palace (1990)
laurie621 2 points 2 years ago.

I ran across this years ago while loading up on old movies that were vhs rentals. I was already a Susan Sarandon fan but did not know James Spader yet; this movie was when I became a fan of his as well. What a movie! I have it downloaded on my computer and watch it from time to time. I guess it’s one of my all time favs.

True Romance (1993)
laurie621 2 points 2 years ago.

Sweet little movie; I’ve watched it twice.

Mr. Mercedes (2017)
laurie621 1 points 2 years ago.

I binged this about a year ago and found it to be very special. I wish it had not ended so soon.

The Sopranos (1999)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago*.

The Sopranos is a great mafia series that well deserved all the raves and high ratings it got. I binged it a long time ago and plan to again. It’s a classic.

The Good Wife (2009)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago*.

This is my all time favorite tv series. I’ve binged it three times and prolly will again and again over the years to come. All the actors are great..the stars husband, Peter Florrick (Chris Noth), was Carrie’s boyfriend “Big” in Sex and the City.. I always liked him..The show centers around Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies who played Carol Hathaway on ER) a long time house wife and mother who becomes publicly humiliated and forced back into the work force because of a ‘surprise surprise’ cheating husband who is the Cook County, Illinois State’s Attorney caught and jailed for the solicitation of a prostitute.

The Closer (2005)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago.

Quirky Brenda Johnson transfers from Atlanta to be in charge of the Major Crimes Division of the Los Angeles Police Department. She is focused and head strong in such an enduring way but still manages to quickly turn an entire division against her. They petition to get rid of her but she shakes it off…changes the way she deals with them instead of doing what most women would do with power and authority. She does her job in such a cute and passionate way that this show is a joy to watch.

The Illusionist (2006)
laurie621 3 points 2 years ago*.

Good movie… keeps you guessing to the end.

Physical (2021)
laurie621 3 points 2 years ago.

It’s entertaining enough to binge. Not a bad little show.. not bad at all.

Mildred Pierce (2011)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago.

I enjoyed the first half and then it went south. It went choppily into a direction that I just didn’t care for.

Old Henry (2021)
laurie621 1 points 2 years ago*.

When the description sounds all too familiar and one thinks it’s been seen before oh it’s nothing new.. think again. It’s a great little western with a different twist that keeps your attention and keeps you guessing..

Roxanne (1987)
laurie621 3 points 2 years ago*.

A modern day Cyrano de Bergerac done with great wit and excellence. What a marvelous actor Steve Martin turned out to be. From a stand up comic to an extraordinary actor.

Leap of Faith (1992)
laurie621 3 points 2 years ago*.

Shows like this never become outdated .. If you want a light and funny show with a lesson learned good feeling ending… this little gem is for you.

The Notebook (2004)
laurie621 2 points 2 years ago.

I’ve heard about this movie for years and just never had a desire to watch it. Finally I did and am so glad. It is a great romance and unique story I can ever remember watching. It’s easily a 10 and would rate it higher if I could.

Passing (2021)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago*.

It could have been a good movie but it was mediocre. Not because of.. but neither of the main characters looked like white women and the one that passed was considered beautiful but to me was unattractive.

Snowfall (2017)
laurie621 1 points 2 years ago.

Don’t hate me but I’m into the fifth episode and find this series boring and hard to follow. I do like Franklin Saint and his mothers characters and will continue to watch as I have hopes it will get more interesting as things change for Franklin.

Don't Look Up (2021)
cosmani 19 points 2 years ago.

Not counting the comet, some angle of everything else is actually happening..

laurie621 4 points 2 years ago.

Just reading the storyline I was thinking the exact same thing and I haven’t even watched it yet.

Uncle Buck (1989)
laurie621 7 points 2 years ago.

One of John Candy’s best and that’s saying a lot. If you haven’t seen this wonderfully funny gem, make sure you do and get some tissue to mop up tears and spit from all the hee hawing. No one could make us laugh like Candy. What a guy.

The Stranger (2020)
laurie621 1 points 2 years ago.

Not bad… Easy to follow and I like that because I crochet while it was on and did a lot of listening without viewing. It kept me guessing and had a rather unique plot.

Nomadland (2021)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago.

It was ok like a lot of movies but I can’t see myself watching it again like I do many.
What happened to her was sad but unrealistic. If she had worked all her adult life and only gotten 500 a month.. she couldn’t have made more than 2 bucks an hour..Plus she could have had 80% of her husbands sos or which ever was the greatest.
We all go through hardships and will lose someone we love.. Can’t get through this life without griefs. But she had a sister that would help her…let her live with her and give her money. She had her sister and her family for a support system. Lucky duck if you ask me. And a great guy with a great family with money that wanted her.. but yet she chose to live in an old van.. So cool. Go live your life.. but that’s not sad to me when you have options… It was a choice.

And imo she could have ran a comb through her hair!

House (2004)
laurie621 1 points 2 years ago.

Wow..Hugh Laurie as Dr House.. what can one say?? The extreme manic that you want to kiss and pour praise on one moment and choke to death the next! Only those having loved and lived with one can know the roller coaster highs and depth of despair they can send you on. They are the absolute best AND the absolute worst human beings on earth…. Having said all that, I say this.. Hugh Laurie was beyond brilliant in this role and if you haven’t watched it yet..you must do so asap! For all those crappy mundane and beyond stupid shows out there, this one goes a long way towards making up for!

American Rust (2021)
laurie621 3 points 2 years ago.

I liked it and watched it up to date, 9 episodes, in 2 days.

Young Sheldon (2017)
laurie621 4 points 2 years ago.

It’s a cute show and I love Meemaw’s part played by Annie Potts ..who was Molly Ringwald’s best friend in Pretty in pink. She is an original and she is a HOOT !!

The Man in the Moon (1991)
laurie621 1 points 2 years ago.

The focus is on two sisters and a grieving young man in his late teens; the setting is in the 1950s on a farm. The sisters find themselves in a bad situation, brought about by the boy at no fault of his own. Oddly enough, in an unexpected way, the sisters for the same reason find themselves even closer than before.

In Her Shoes (2005)
laurie621 2 points 2 years ago.

Dissimilar but loving sisters; at odds with each other because of one’s outlandishly, out-of-control behavior; may find their way back through a forgotten relation.

The Big Bang Theory (2007)
laurie621 2 points 2 years ago.

Oh here we go.. the insufferable epic over the top narcissistic that makes you laugh your butt off one minute and then makes you want to go find him and beat his brains out the next. Jim Parsons is a genius in his role as Sheldon Cooper…the end of an era.

The Equalizer (2021)
laurie621 0 points 2 years ago*.

What I like about it is she’s a real gal with normal weight for a middle aged woman. She seems relaxed and comfortable in her own skin. I’ll watch it just for that.

MINDHUNTER (2017)
ShadowSide 1 points 4 years ago.

There were plenty of serial killers around before the 70’s they just coined the term serial killer in the 70s 🤨

laurie621 -1 points 2 years ago.

A lot of things are put out there by the media as if they happened just as much in past decades as they do now. “They” do not want us to be aware that society is in a rapid moral decline. I’m old and was around in the 50’s and 60’s so I have first hand knowledge.

After Life (2019)

I love what this mother did regardless of how she was treated. A tenacious bold and courageous woman and I applaud her.

One of the Cutest little shows ever. Too bad and so sad it only had one season.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
laurie621 2 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

This movie profoundly affected me as did the [SPOILER] in my youth. You most certainly have to be from that era to even begin to understand this movie. The entire show was a set up for the grand final and was done with absolute excellence.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
laurie621 2 points 3 years ago*.

I was 16 in 1969 and remember all too well the events that took place. This is a very special movie and it touched me. Leonardo and Brad P outdid themselves in this fantasy film. I loved it.

Ugly Betty (2006)

Cute little show. My Hubby and I Binged it a few years ago and enjoyed it.

Nashville (2012)

I’ve Binged this great series twice and really enjoyed it. I’m very surprised to see it’s only got two stars and 0 comments.

Sorry Superstore lovers.. but the people that work in the store are so stupid it gives me anxiety to watch.
