And they continue to fall

It seems that "they" continue to fall. 
This is so distressing. 
Every morning when the radio alarm goes off, I wonder who will be named in this ongoing downhill escalation.
I could take Matt Lauer, but Garrison?

Dark Horse, a documentary


If you are a horse lover, well, even if you aren't a horse lover, this documentary (filmed in Wales) is a beautiful "love story".

Against all odds, after a major leg injury, and stem cell medical treatment, this horse goes back out on the race track!

The Luzhin Defence, film


Once again, no t.v. reception on Thursday, so we watched this one.

John Turturro and Emily Watson give very intense performances in this film about a Chess genius - who began as a child - switches back and forth between adulthood and his childhood recollections.

Beautifully shot on and near Lake Como in Italy.

Some graphic sex scenes, nudity limited.

Give it a try.

This Beautiful Fantastic, a film


We lost our t.v. reception this past Wednesday evening, so we watched this delightful film.

No sex, don't recall any bad language, no violence.

Beautifully shot, lovely colors, unusual buy enjoyable characters.

Give it a try.

Will it ever Stop?



Mark Wuerker has once again outdone himself with the on-going scandal.

Great one, Mark!

The Bridge, Swedish/Danish television series



Ok, so having watched the English/French television series "The Tunnel", previously mentioned in an earlier posting, I bumped into the original Swedish/Danish television series "The Bridge" -  we just finished watching this.

Once again, this is graphic.

Sofia, who portrays the Swedish police officer,
was absolutely perfect for this part - she certainly appears to have ice water in her veins!

We enjoyed this even more than "The Tunnel"

Give it a try.

Into the Mud They Go

From 11-16-17 Politico's M. Wuerker.

How far into the mud will American lawmakers, celebrities and other well known men be allowed to go before we all make THEM accountable?
