Britbox. 3.5/5
Four-part drama based on the extraordinary story of how prison officer John Darwin faked his own death to claim life insurance and avoid bankruptcy - unbeknownst to his two sons.

I a watched this several days ago and it's superb!
We Own This City- It’s a 6 episode HBO limited series based on the true story of the Baltimore Gun Trace Task Force and the investigation into the group's corruption. 4/5
Watched The Spy Who Came in From the Cold the other day...only saw it once before which was decades ago and didn't remember much.
Above average writing for this kind of movie (never read the novel so I don't know how it compares) and IMO a much more "cold" and realistic take on the spy tale than the typical cold war dialectic propaganda usually dished out in this genre. I'd give it 4.5 out of 5.
"What rules are you playing?"
"There's only one rule...expediency."

Solid flick, you should check out tinker tailor soldier spy. Both the mini series and the movie.
Ridley Scott's "White Squall." I watched free w/ ads on YouTube (link won't work here, for some reason). Slammed by critics because it endorses traditional values. Not a low budget nautical flick: watch on a large screen to get the full authenticity of the sets.
Thanks for the reminder and the tip...I had meant to watch that movie and I wasn't aware of the older mini series (just looked it up).
American Pie documentary, 3.5/5. I was in middle school when this came out, my 7th grade English teacher loved it (and Simon & Garfunkle). We studied and dissected their songs. So, American Pie always takes me back to 7th grade.

The Day The Music Died: American Pie - Watch Movie Trailer on Paramount Plus
Don McLean's iconic song "American Pie" is explored and examined through the lens of its 50 year
Started watching Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power and had to turn it off half way through the first episode. What utter garbage, completely spitting on Tolkien's legacy. Complete trash.
I just assumed that would be the case...it's the typical pattern of these things these days.
Cool - 12 years old, had a paper route, knew every word! Same here. My 10th grade English teacher had us have a go at it, but she didn't have many insights (so many more now than then) and what did we know, lol, but it was fun.American Pie documentary, 3.5/5.

Years ago we took our girls to the State Fair to see the American Idol bunch on tour (hey, they wanted to go, we went). Walking about the grounds that afternoon, I heard a familiar voice - on a small stage Don McLean was performing a free, solo afternoon concert - it was amazing, just him and his guitar. "Vincent" and "American Pie" were what I wanted to hear and was just in time to catch the last part of his performance and both those tunes.
Lord of The Rings, The Rindjred's of blah.......
1/5. Visually stunning, but not a single character to get invested in. Poor writing and acting. Staid performances infront of green screen is depressing. So much money wastefully thrown at a TV show such as this, and the abomination Star Wars has become under Disney makes me fear for the future of TV writing. Where has writing for shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, and Seasons 1-4 of GOT gone?

Tried to see the new LOTR marketing-franchise concept. 0/5.
I endured 14 minutes of the ordeal, an exercise in patience I'm almost proud of.

So far, this has been excellent. I don't remember if I'm on episode 3 or 4, but I'm loving it. Something in the same vein of a serious story that's ridiculously hilarious is "Don't Forget the Driver". 5/5
