Modern Love (2019)
Modern and classic NYC
I'm fortunate to work and enjoy NYC- and enjoy The NY Times. These episodes are the recreation of many letters, essays and is an adorable representation of the pleasure of those moments. I met my husband through NY Magazine, a chance reply to his ad turned into a 18 year and counting love relationship. These episodes also suggest that an open heart can be the most modern part of the humans of New York
Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh (2008)
Beyond horrible
I thought Dan Schneider could write. This is SO horrible, I begged my son to change the channel. There is nothing worth watching in the entire program. Each actor humiliated themselves and there was not one cliché or pratfall that was overlooked or overacted.
The young actors should be embarrassed that they were part of this - the foster kids, the grumpy older brother, the maybe Muslim kid, the fighting sisters, the sick foster mother and then good ol Miranda Cosgrove. Nothing made sense, the jail scene was overacted.
I like Drake, like Josh. This is just a mess.
Never run this ever again.
No End in Sight (2007)
Bush Administration - Shoot, Ready, Aim
As a military brat, I wanted to see if it was the military or the Cabinet that was making poor decisions about the Iraqi invasion and the years of occupation. Charles Ferguson presented a well laid out chronological story from 9/11/2001 (the Pentagon scenes were especially tearful, we forget that was hit by a plane as well) to the present. Especially interesting was the history between Iran and Iraqi, and I remember the day in 1979 when we knew of American military families that had to leave in the middle of the night from Tehran. America's backing of Hussein then caught up with us in the 90's. Bush's administration was looking for a connection - WMDs, Al-Qada, something.
I was impressed with the candor of Richard Armitage, Col Paul Hughes, and even with Walter Slocombe. The interviews were interesting, honest, and true.
Last week I watched "Saving Private Ryan" for the first time, and understood that we sent in 350,000 troops to Normandy during and after D-Day. Our ability to have that kind of troop deployment is over, as is the Cold War. Instead we are creating a ticking time bomb (much like we did in backing Hussein against Khomeini in 1980) that I hope will not create instability world wide.
I'm planning on buying multiple copies of this DVD - it is that important, not only for now, but in campaign issues in the next year.
