Amazing story which reminded me of my youth in the 1960s and onwards through a military career (don't ask don't tell) and 17 years in a corporate job always hiding my sexual identity. Fellow Travelers could have been written by me. I lived through all the drama, aids, loves...what in incredible telling of history: the sadness and fear in the gay culture because of aids and the government's refusal to recognize it! This drama goes behind the scenes to show the real stories behind the headlines of that period in American History which caused so many to suffer and be treated as lepers, outcasts, not worthy of being Americans.

Loved it!
28 March 2023
Interesting Indie movie, shot god knows where. Maybe in Pennsylvania where maestro M. Night shoots his films. Well this amazing film (shot in BW) reminded me of Bergman and Woody Allen (go figure). Overall I loved the feel of this film and it's signature acting by the four main leads. Frederick, Aaron, Ethel plus 1. I love the camera work, the various shots, the starkness of a Pennsylvania forest; the POC police woman. Bubbling anticipation to see what developes. Hallelujah. Well, all of the characters were very interesting but I don't want to put any spoilers here. The movie cost me two dollars on YouTube and it was worth it because I love in the films and I love the black-and-white aspect of these films and the dialogue was really good.
Raised by Wolves

Sci Fi at its best!
27 February 2022
Such a brilliant series. I couldn't stop watching it. The actors are awesome. Plot just incredible. Nothing fake about this series it looks real like you know in the previous science-fiction movies where the spaceships were flying through space on strings, Flash Gordon. It has such depth. Mother and Father are incredible. Even the young actors are very professional. I suggest everybody watch this even if it takes two days to get from series one to two.

Unbelievable
6 February 2022
Can't believe this actually happened but it did! I don't know how anyone could fall for such a scam, but-unfortunately-many woman did. As the saying goes, 'Somebody should have warned the Trojans. Beware of gifts bearing Greeks.'

Ariana Neal is stunning
24 January 2022
A great binge watch with good acting and storyline. Ariana Neal as 'Jess' blew me away with her acting professionalism being so young!
She really gives a three-dimensional performance which is captivating. I can't wait to see her in other movies.

Psychedelic Sci-Fi
19 March 2021
Engrossing series on Hulu about the paradigms of reality, the past and the future through the secretive Devs project. Our romantic heroine is Lily who sets out to find out what is going on? All actors did extremely well in this ensemble cast. Special effects are breathtaking.

Great movie about Oxford Dictionary
3 March 2021
This movie was a surprise recommendation from a friend who knows I sold the Oxford Dictionary series while working as a salesperson for Oxford. I was shockingly surprised by how the compendium of English words was first started and became the must have to define the English language. I love Natalie Dormer after seeing her in Game of Thrones; she is astounding. Sean Penn and Mel Gibson and everyone else were brilliant. I also learned new words since this is a remarkable true tale of how this amazing dictionary was put together.
The Sinner
(2017–2021)
Captivating series
21 February 2021
Wow! I was really bowled over by this series by the in-depth characterization of its multifaceted characters like Cora, Julian, Vera and the rest. Bill Pullman was extraordinary in his portrayal of Detective Harry Ambrose. I couldn't turn my TV off with this binger of a series. It hooked me so hard I recommended it to all my friends and plan to watch it again and again.
It was amazing to watch Elisha Henig play Julian. When they make a movie about my life I want Elisha to play me!

Caught my attention
11 February 2021
Very interesting plot development. No spoilers here! So nice to see Rupert Grint from Harry Potter in an adult role as brother to his sister Dorothy. Great choice of location Philadelphia. Exciting with the M. Night Shyamalan twist. Kudos to Lauren Ambrose, Toby Kebbell to making this thriller!

Stunning movie
6 September 2020
Kate Mara, Anna Taylor-Joy, Paul Giamatti, Michelle Yeoh and the rest of the crew were amazing. The ending is so twisty. A delicious blend of suspense, fright, thriller served methodically drop by drop. Watch it. You'll see.
The Surface
(I) (2015)
Deeply emotional
5 December 2019
I enjoyed this film; reminded me of a friend I had who was going through similar circumstances in his life: broken home, unclear values, emotional ups and downs, latching onto a jealous sugar daddy, then breaking away and 'surfacing' to become someone else, more confident and self-assured.
The Silence
(II) (2019)
Popcorn Movie
6 May 2019
I enjoyed watching The Silence. It was fun. Sort of like The Birds by Hitchcock. The characters were interesting. I was hoping Tucci and his family didn't get consumed by the 'angry birds' released from their unground nests. The movie went quick and had interesting jump scares like...well you gotta see it.
Suspiria
(I) (2018)
Horror overkill
6 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Lots of insanity in this film and tons of gore. I was disappointed that Director Luca did this film after Call Me By Your Name. This film is the polar opposite. I'm not sure what I just watched as there is lots of jumping around, witches, accusations, dancing, etc. Dakota does a fairly good job of getting through this murky script that swings from Nazis, secret doorways, lesbianism, Amish, and more. Lots of shock value here.
