Gidget Goes to Rome

 What a cute movie! I don't know anything about Gidget but this movie was really, really cute! And Gidget is so innocent and naïve and Jeff is an idiot! But she loves him! Moon-doggie. What a name! I totally missed all this in my youth but her dad looking out for her without her knowing. And she's got a great group of friends! I'll have to watch more movies with her. I also found out from friends that this is not the original Gidget. But I'll keep an eye out!

Wicked

 So much hype and marketing has been placed on this movie for months! And I mean MONTHS before it's release. And I finally got to see it. Granted, my husband and I saw the Broadway tour of "Wicked" years ago so I had some comparing to do. I definitely can see the theater crow singing through the whole thing. It's what we do. Cynthia Erivo did a very good and innocent job with Elphaba. She brought an innocence to the character that Idina did on Broadway. Her voice was not "over-the-top" and she hit all the familiar notes just right. Ariana Grande did well as G-linda, and later Glinda, the good. The snobbiness, the self-interest, the power-hungry - just all of it was there. The swishing of the hair was just hysterical. She played the part very well and paired well as a friend to Elphaba. Jonathan Bailey is just deliciously beautiful as Prince Fiyero. All the free fun and interest in other things that got him thrown out of his previous schools is right there. I...

The Gambler: The Adventure Continues

This movie had to do with a different kind of gambling: on people On lives. Poor Brady Hawkes loses his so to an evil man named Charlie. Charlie and his gang hold up a train and a rich man, Stowbridge, was supposed to have money on that train. He didn't. And Charlie and his gang snatch poor Jeremiah and hold onto him until the train makes it to its destination, and a bank, where Stowbridge must hand money over to the gang in order to let Jeremiah live. Brady's not having it. Him and Billy get their own gang together and that includes the beautiful and sly Kate Muldoon. It was so good to see Linda Evans as a tough ol' broad in this movie. I'm so used to seeing her as a beautiful and intelligent woman who marries Blake Carrington on "Dynasty". Altogether they ride and fight and try to figure out a way to get Jeremiah out of Charlie's clutches. It's a good western. I think Kenny Rogers did pretty good with this series.

Grosse Pointe Garden Society (TV Show)

 I've watched the first episode twice! Not only because my friend, Jason, is in it, but because this is about revenge. Yes, dead things help plants grow! Doesn't matter what died, but something has to die to make things grow. It's a Scorpio thing, really. Four main characters make this so ideal: Alice, played by AnnaSophia Robb, is married, she's a school teacher and she has a golden retriever. But then, the puppy goes missing and her collar shows up. What happened? And who is at fault? Then there is Birdie, played by Melissa Fumero. She's rich, she's married, and she has a secret: she has a drinking problem. Which gets her community service with the Garden Society. On the side, she's got her own secret which involves a teenager. Catherine, played by Aja Naomi King, not only sports some excellent matte lipstick, but with a smokin' body, tries to attract her hard-working husband while getting some action with her colleague, Gary, played by Saamer Usmani. ...
