TV:
The Morning Show: Season Three – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Lessons in Chemistry – ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Behind the Attraction – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I found the third season of The Morning Show was much stronger than the second. I liked the exploration of how they tackled Covid, but didn’t heavily focus on it. Plus, there was Jon Hamm playing an asshole—who doesn’t like that? I was really disappointed in Lessons in Chemistry. I loved the book and Brie Larson, but the writers took some creative liberties that I didn’t like. Things were changed that didn’t really make sense and changed the character of Elizabeth. It was aesthetically pleasing and had good performances and I probably would have enjoyed it if I hadn’t read the book first. I had no idea that they had added more episodes to the first season of Behind the Attraction until I went to Disney+ to start on the second. I have nothing but great things to say about this show, or any show that share inside scoops to my favorite place in the world. NO NOTES!
Movies:
Priscilla – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Holdovers – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Albert Brooks: Defending My Life – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Dream Scenario – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Holdovers was a lot more sentimental than I thought—not saying that’s a bad thing. It was really well done by Alexander Payne and I still can’t believe this was the main kid’s first movie. I really loved the first two thirds of Priscilla and then it just fell a part—it was hard focused on Priscilla’s life with Elvis, but once they were married and with a kid everything rushed to the end. I liked Jacob Elordi’s take on Elvis and it was quite different from Austin Butler’s Elvis—a performance that is still in people’s mind. Dream Scenario was wild and silly and Nic Cage was perfect in the role. I watched both documentaries—Albert Brooks: Defending My Life and David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived—one after the other. Both were spectacular—chef’s kiss!
