Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

 I absolutely love Wallace & Gromit! And this was an amazing addition to the films! You'd have to have seen "The Wrong Trousers" to get why the penguin was in jail, but he's smart! He's so smart and he even sweats which is just amazing for claymation! Wallace and Gromit are hitting hard times trying to pay the bills. When then neighbors see the new invention, a Gnome that cuts the yard and waters flowers and does all kinds of odds and ends around the house, Wallace gets the idea to lease the gnome out to make money, maybe make more of them, so that they can pay the bills. But this gnome, Norbot, is taking Gromit's place. Gromit feels left out and the jealousy is high! But something happens and now the gnomes work for the penguin! How? What went wrong? And can the police solve this mystery? I just enjoyed everything about this - the claymation, the voices, the storyline - all of it! Wallace and Gromit never fail to entertain!

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...

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. ...

The Enforcer (1976)

 Harry is back. And now Tyne Daly is his partner. So Harry Callahan is back on the case and now there are a group of people after weapons of mass destruction. And later in the movie they capture the mayor. And true, Harry has had it with politics and politicians, but he still wants to do his job. There  is less nudity in this movie, I noticed. But more blood. The shot to the head on one character was very sudden and direct. To see the type of movie blood they used back then shows how far we've come: the red is shiny and extremely liquidy. Sometimes more orange than red. This movie made me wonder if Harry ever slept. He seems like he's on the go a lot. And he's a good shot, no doubt. Harry always gets his man. This movie is a continuation in the films, I guess, and just goes to show that Harry can't keep a partner.
