Happy Pride 2022! Hulu is celebrating with the premiere of “Fire Island.” This film is written by and stars Joel Kim Booster and features Bowen Yang and Margaret Cho.

As the pandemic raged on, Jo Firestone bravely led a class of senior citizens to the stage. The resulting 2pm standup comedy airs on the Peacock app and is very much worth watching. It’s hilarious, sweet, and life affirming. We all know that senior citizens have the raunchiest sense of humor and Jo encourages her […]
The beginning and end of Wonder Woman 1984 reduced me to an absolute puddle of tears. A strong young girl’s ambition is guided, never belittled. She is allowed to compete unabated.

Sweet, insightful, intelligent and topical it moves along with bits of whimsy and fantasy blown in every so often. Chris O’Dowd is a personal favorite of mine so I am so happy he […]
Saw the new Ghostbusters on opening night!! I’ve never seen a movie at the theatre where people clapped about 10 times during the show, when gear or familiar cast members appear. I think it is a great success and a fun movie to watch anytime. My only regret is that it won’t come out on […]
