While
finally giving you not one, but two reviews that I should have had done a very
long ass fucking time ago, I should tell you that while the reason that I don’t
always see movies in theaters recently anymore is largely my fault, there is a
way that it is their fault. Too much about how movies are done have changed. There
is too quick a turnaround from when a movie is in theaters until it is out on
DVD with not enough time to see the movie even if it does well. Plus, theaters
as in cinemas are often doing a stupid thing by putting movies back in theaters
that have already had their runs and are on DVD already instead of showing more
of the newer films that we are interested in. I can only hope that I can see
one of the next two movies coming out or already out in theaters while I still
can.
Tea Leoni: She will be in a
project called Endangered, which will be a movie. There are no other
things that I see her in right now besides that. I don’t know when they
finished filming the show, but you’d think that those who are still doing
projects will have stuff right now to do (if that makes sense).
Endangered: This is a movie
about the lives of threatened species. We’ll see what role she has in it. The
website I’m checking makes it seem like she’ll be lending her voice to it so
maybe it will be some sort of documentary. The release date is unknown
now.
Bebe Neuwirth: She’s had a recurring
bit on Blue Bloods and may show up on it from time to time. There are other
minor things that she has done. It appears that she will be in a new movie
called Julia. She will also be in something new called Teenage
Euthanasia. Yet another thing that she will be in will be Ultra City
Smiths. I hope to see what I can of this.
Julia: This is a show about Julia
Child, the chef. It is available now on HBO Max. It first became
available on 3-31-2022. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about. I
might not care about missing the show even if I’m coming to like some cooking
shows.
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZBacZqwbCA
Thoughts on trailer: This looks way
more interesting than I ever would have thought that it might be. Who would
have thought that a woman would need to overcome cooking sterotypes? It seems
like there is a lot more going on here than might need to be, but there isn’t
much else to say about this. I doubt that I’ll be able to see it without
borrowing this from my sister’s family for a moment, but it could be fine regardless
of it I wind up seeing it in the future or not.
Teenage Euthanasia: Considering how
the title talks about assisted suicide, one can be a bit unsure how this could
turn into a good story. But the plot is more complicated than that and hard to
sum up easily. The show is out now. There is a trailer for this:
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T8HAs-5oX4
Thoughts on trailer: So this looks
strange, but I was already expecting it. I guess that it is far too grim for
even FOX by featuring mature content that not even that network would allow.
I’m glad that the trailer explains a lot about the series, but I’m not upset
that I’m going to be missing any of this in the end.
Ultra City Smiths: This is a TV show
about two people looking for a missing celebrity. Will they find what they are
looking for? One can only hope since that’s what the show is about. This is out
now. I do not know what network this is on or what time it airs. There is a
trailer for this now:
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qthWw6NPMA
Thoughts on trailer: This looks weird
and I probably would have liked it better if it were live action focusing on a
more serious plot. I can’t gather much from the trailer, but there sure are a
hell of a lot of people in it. And I guess that’s all that I can make sense of
it for now. What else is there to say?
Geoffrey Arend: He will be in a
project called Physical, a TV show. I’m glad that he could find
something at long last. Hopefully, he’ll do a bunch more things all worth
keeping track of in this blog and worth watching as well if I can see them at
all.
Physical: This is a TV show, but too
much about this is unknown at this point in time. It is out now on Apple TV.
It also has a trailer that I will be talking some about. It is a very new thing
and imdb isn’t revealing much about it now as a result. But we’ll find out more
about this over time.
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQTFdslwJYo
Thoughts on trailer: I’m not entirely
sure what to make of this. It doesn’t seem that bad, but it doesn’t seem
anywhere close to good either. It is going for something maybe a bit different,
but I can’t really get behind it that much. I was never one for the 80s as I
wasn't even born yet and really only get stuff out of it from when I see The
Goldbergs. It doesn’t seem all that interesting to me really.
Kathrine Herzer: She hasn’t
been doing much since the show ended or now, it seems. Maybe she is going back
to a more normal life. Not all the child actors or actresses continue into the
field when they get older as they want to do other things in life. Remember the
people from Shining Time Station?
Evan Roe: Again, this person
has not been doing much after the show ended. I guess it hasn’t been over long
enough or a lot of these people just haven’t found a new job yet, at least in
the Hollywood industry. You’d think that the filming would have ended long
enough ago, but maybe not.
Tim Daly: The time has come to say
what this man is finally doing after Madam Secretary as he finally has
something new in the works now. He is set to be in The Game, a TV show.
He is also now in Finestkind. That’s it for now.
The Game: This is a TV series about
black culture and how it regards to football. It could be good and is a
continuation of CW show from a while ago that also aired on BET. This is available
now on Paramount+. I am not currently planning on watching it.
Finestkind: I’m guessing that this is
a movie or supposed to be. It has an unknown date of release at the
moment. It is about two brothers finding themselves trapped in issues with
organized crime people. There is no trailer yet.
Zeljko Ivanek: He is finally set to be
in something called Now and Then, which is a TV show. Maybe we’ll see
more of his acting in the future or maybe we won’t. He is also in The Last
Duel, a movie. Another thing that he will be in is Let the Right One in.
Now and Then: This is a TV series
about a group of Hispanic friends meeting again years after one of them is
found dead. It is available now. It is on Apple TV+. It could be good,
but it doesn’t sound original. There is a trailer for this now:
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfyk7tbtTN4
Thoughts on trailer: Well, this looks
like it could be interesting and also complicated in different ways. It seems
to focus too much on clichés, although I couldn’t guess who might be guilty in
the end of anything (it might be all of them). I don’t think that I’ll miss
much by not being able to see it, even if some of this could be good.
The Last Duel: Set in Medieval times,
two people are set to duel to settle a dispute of some sort or another. This is
on DVD now so you might be able to see it there if you want to. I finally have seen this now so I can review it for you.
Review:
Movie Name- The Last Duel. Genre: Historical drama. Rating- R. Noteworthiness- This
is based off of true event, even told from three different perspectives. Description-
A woman accuses a man of raping her so her husband challenges this man to trial
by combat to the death. Madam Secretary Alumni in it- Zeljko Ivanek plays one of the people involed with the trial
leading into the duel. Pros-
It offers a very interesting perspective on sex crimes and how myths about them
can still renosate today. One will probably like the ending or outcome of what
happens in the movie if you can get through it. Cons- The subject of the movie
is very grim. It seems to waste time repeating scenes at different points
without changing much of anything. Some of the character choices don’t make
much sense. You see the rape scene twice instead of just once. Note to Parents-
The scene where the character is raped is in there and shown on camera,
although it is not nearly as gruesome as it could be. There are other sexual
related things in here such as nudity and an orgy. There’s a lot of language
and violence. Recommendation- It is hard to say. I would not want to own this
movie. I don’t regret watching it. It might be good to see in some occasions or
for some people to see. Otherwise, this is probably too dark a subject for most
people. IMDB Ranking: 7.4 My Grade: C.
Let the Right One in: This doesn’t
have a trailer yet. It is set for release sometime in 2022. This is a
vampire drama that I believe is based on an existing movie that was also already
remade into a movie before, albeit much earlier and too soon after the old one
was just out from what I understand of it.
Erich Bergen: He’s also not
doing much yet as of the show ending. After appearing in some episodes of the
final season of Bull, I’ll have to wait to see what else he is up to in the
future after this. I can only hope that he does more in the future.
Patina Miller: She is the narrator of
a show called Word Party. That’s all that she’s doing for now. I think
that she’s a mother so that may affect how much work she’ll be able to do.
We’ll see what goes on in her life and I hope she can do something I can watch.
It turns out that she is in The Many Saints of Newark. There’s nothing
else to mention just yet.
Word Party: This is a Netflix
kids show that is available now. Patina is the narrator of it. I don’t
know much about it. I doubt that I will be able to see it in the future. This
show is about teaching others how to talk and learning simple things like that.
The Many Saints of Newark: This is a
prequel to the TV show The Sopranos. It is a movie. I don’t know at what point
her role became known in this because it came as a bit of a surprise for me. It
is currently on DVD. I finally have a
review of this now after having seen it.
Review:
Movie Name- The Many Saints of Newark. Genre: Mob movie. Rating- R. It deserves
it in many ways. Noteworthiness- This is a prequel to the show The Soparanos.
Description- An Italian crime family goes through various issues while a black
crime family is also there as well. Madam Secretary Alumni in it- Patina Miller
plays some character in the film. I couldn’t tell who. No wonder her role in
the film wasn’t announced until after the film was out. No one could tell until
the credits that she was even in here. I can’t even remember there being a
black woman in the film at all. Pros- There is a lot of character development
in here. Cons- There are a ton of these so bear with me. More will be covered
in the note to parents section. For a movie that promotes itself as the origin
story of Tony Soparano, he is barely in this. One can’t gather much about who
these characters are and why we care about them. There are no good guys in this
or people to root for. The cops are barely in this and when they are, they are portrayed
negatively. This focuses a lot on a black family and not on the Soparanos which
isn’t so much of a problem outside of the fact that these competing storylines
are largely unrelated for the most part. There is far too much negative
sterotypes about Italians in here. I have no idea what the title of this movie
has to do with anything. Note to Parents- There is a lot of on screen murder, a
lot of it senseless. A woman is seen having an affair, during a sex scene,
where you see her breasts. A lot of blood and violence is in this. Students are
seen cheating in their work. There is a lot of bad language in here.
Recommendation- This is such a horrible film with absolutely no redeeming
value. If this is anything like the TV show, I’m glad that I’ve never seen
that. Don’t watch this ever. It is terrible. IMDB Ranking: 6.3. My Grade: F.
Wallis Currie-Wood: She has
done very little outside of the show. Maybe she will do something more in
Hollywood or maybe not. It will be hard to understand some of why I’m not
seeing much in terms of what the cast is doing in the future unless or until
more time passes.
Keith Carradine: He has two projects
in the works. One is called Sallywood. The other one is called The
Daylong Brothers. We’ll see what happens between those and anything else
that he does. I look forward to hopefully seeing these films at some point in
time. Maybe more will happen in the future. He’s also in the new season of Fear
the Walking Dead.
Sallywood: This movie romantic
in some way, but I don’t know if it’s a comedy or not. It is about a man who
moves to Hollywood and becomes a woman’s personal assistant. They’ll be more to
it than that. It has an unknown release date at this time.
The Daylong Brothers: This has
an unknown release date at this time. It is about three brothers who try
to get revenge on their father for selling their souls. This could be
interesting, even if I don’t really like to watch horror films. But this could
just be normal supernatural.
Fear the Walking Dead: This is an
AMC show that is a spin-off of the original Walking Dead. At first, it was
a prequel set at the start of the zombie outbreak. Now, it is set sometime
later during the same time frame as the original. I don’t know when or if I’ll
be able to see this, but will include this in the updates for as long as Keith
is in it.
Sebastian Arcelus: It looks
like he will appear in a TV movie or perhaps potential pilot called Blanco.
He’s doing better than others in terms of projects in the works. That is it for
now. Maybe there will be more, but I think that’s it for now.
Blanco: This has an unknown
release date at the moment. It is about a criminal who seeks to work with
the cops only to build his criminal empire. I have no idea what network this
would air on, if any. This might be just another in a long line of passed
pilots that I get confused about and wind up in this blog for a long time like
what you might have seen in my CSI: Cyber blog.
Sara Ramirez: We’ll see what else she
might do in the future. It could be a lot or not much at all. One source is now
saying that her show, And Just Like That, is returning for a season 2 after
all. And there have been rumors for a while now that she might be returning for
a guest appearance or so in Grey’s Anatomy. Other than those two roles, I don’t
see anything mentioned of hers for now.
Kevin
Rahm: There isn’t much to talk about for him right now. But I did find
something for him. He will be in Life by Ella. It is nice to see
something that is worth covering in this blog for once. There wasn’t much else
to ever mention about him before.
Life
by Ella: This is set for release in 2022. This is about a middle school
aged girl who seems to be an optimist in a world set to destroy that type of
person. I don’t yet know where this might air or if it will go past the pilot
stage or not.
Barbara Hall: I will see what
future, if any, she might have in the TV or movie industry. You’d think that
she’d be doing something at some point or another, but maybe she won’t be at
least for a while. I guess that I’ll keep her in the updates since only death
would get rid of someone.
