Streaming Reviews October 2022 Part 1



WARNING: 3 OUT OF 6 WILL TURN YOUR STOMACH--DON'T EAT WHILE WATCHING!!


1) "Blonde"--Netflix--film--2 hours and 46 minutes--based on the best selling novel by Joyce Carol Oates--a re-imagined fictional portrait of Marilyn Monroe--for those who lived during the MM years there really isn't anything new to see and/or hear--there is a lot of make believe mixed with reality but where the line is drawn will continue to be explored as long as movies exist--Ana de Armas is getting a lot of raves as Marilyn, deservedly!


2) "The Fabulous Allen Carr"--Prime--documentary--1 hour & 30 minutes--the producer's extravagant career from "Grease" glory to Oscar shame--fame, money, sex, gossip, houses, best friends, today's success and tomorrow's failures--his hits were huge while the flops, to quote, "He was all about life and he was life"--a perfect example of Hollywood building someone up so they can tear them down--an old but always intriguing story.


3) "Wrangler: Anatomy of an Icon"--Prime--documentary--1 hour & 24 minutes--in the 60s and 70s he was a gay icon and his life was stranger than fiction--Wrangler would marry singer Margaret Whiting who he was faithful to yet stress he was still gay--he was a role model to many and an astute businessman--Wrangler marched to a beat of his own drum and offers an informative, funny, certainly entertaining as was the man himself.


4) "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story"--Netflix--Limited series--10 episodes--8 hours & 46 minutes--this is the story of the 17 victims this man killed and the police ignored him because he was a white man and the victims were gay men of color--it is 3 hours too long, overboard with gruesome scenes but the focus on being more concerned with the victims holds interest--it is not an easy series to watch.


5) "Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump"--1 hour & 23 minutes & 6) "Trump: The Art of the Insult"--1 hour & 36 minutes
Both are documentaries and are being shown on Prime--'Unfit' presents mental health experts with their diagnosis of Trump while 'Insult' are his words--how anyone watching and listening to these 2 films can still approve of Trump is beyond my comprehension--unfortunately those who should watch and listen won't.
