Darkest Hour

This episode we sit down and watch the historic drama of Winston Churchill during miserly years as the Prime minister Of Great Britain.  So this is nothing that we didn't know about based on the many TV shows and the great movie Dunkirk by Christopher Nolan.  Here's our short review. 

 

During the early days of World War II, with the fall of France imminent, Britain faces its darkest hour as the threat of invasion looms. As the seemingly unstoppable Nazi forces advance, and with the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the leadership of the newly-appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman). While maneuvering his political rivals, he must confront the ultimate choice: negotiate with Hitler and save the British people at a terrible cost or rally the nation and fight on against incredible odds.

Black Panther Movie (Marvel)

 Tonight Alicia and I go out on the premier night of the Black Panther Marvel Movie.  Sitting in the theater, it was a historic feeling and highly enjoyable experience.  Based on the reviews and the many trailers that showed half of the movie.  It was well worth it.

Lady Bird

We started getting ready for the Oscars, Golden Globes, Peoples Choice, Screen Actors Guild and more by going through the projected nominees for these awards.  Alicia and I start to look at the potential winning movies and actors/actresses.  This madly outrageously overrated movie was something we thought we needed to see.  Its easy to describe this common coming to age movie because the premise is basically the same.  Soooo, we sit down to tell you our opinions about this....critically acclaimed movie.  Which was rated very high with Rotten tomatoes.

Marion McPherson, a California nurse, works tirelessly to keep her family afloat after her husband loses his job. She also maintains a turbulent bond with a teenage daughter who is just like her -- loving, strong-willed and deeply opinionated.

Dark Matter (SyFy) season 3

Alicia and get around to review Dark Matter after watching the first two seasons.  The series are on us and we were excited to see the 3rd season come out.  But highly disappointed to know it was the last season.  

When crew members working on a derelict spaceship awaken from stasis, they have no memory of who they are or how they got onto the vessel. The only clues to their identities are weaponry and a destination. They must band together to fight off the threats they face on a voyage filled with vengeance, betrayal and secrets.  The sci-fi series is based on the graphic novel of the same name.

The Government shutdown 2018 /Rethink the 2020 election

Tonight we really get into the most spineless unnecessary actions the democrats have done in quite some time.  Shutting down the government and opening it with nothing in hand to negotiate with. also the numerous political shenanigans in one freakin week. including the deputy FBI director stepping down and a reckless memo the congress voted to release.

Penrose Hill Magnus Nox Merlot 2013

Dark and smooth, the Magnus Nox 2013 Merlot is part of an epic vintage with high praise from some of the most revered critics in wine.  Light sage and plum accents play off of the oak flavors in this well-balanced, silky Merlot.

I,Tonya

Alicia and I was surprised by the attention this movie was getting and went to see this indie mockumentary about the Life of Tonya Harding.  We find a you girl in the middle of a class struggle, an abusive family  environment, and a failed marriage that made Tonya who she was at that time. Very interesting take on the situation. 

I, Tonya is a 2017 American biographical black comedy film directed by Craig Gillespie and written by Steven Rogers. The film follows the life and career of figure skater Tonya Harding, with particular focus on her connection to the 1994 attack on Nancy Kerrigan, Harding's rival and Olympic teammate; it features interviews with the characters in mockumentary-style set in the modern day, as well as fourth wall breaking.
