1) "Hansan Minhaj: The King's Jester"--Netflix--1 hour & 5 minutes--Standup Comic--FINALLY a standup comic that even on serious subjects like the Patriot Act he gets his audience (and me) to laugh--this is a first for me--I laughed at a standup comedy routine--he is funny!




2) "Lou"--Netflix--Thriller Movie--1 hour & 47 minutes--Synopsis: a mysterious loner living a quiet life battlING the elements and her own dark past--it seems Allison Janney candle handle any role as she has shown in comedies, dramas and now an action thriller--if I were James Bond or Sylvester Stallone or Tom Cruise let alone any other action star I would stay away from Lou and certainly wouldn't challenge her to a fight--in more than one way Allison Janney is a killer (no pun intended) in this suspense thriller!




3) "Uncharted"--Netflix--Action Adventure Movie--1 hour & 56 minutes--Synopsis: street smart treasure hunter and his renegade mentor set out across the globe to find lost gold--one spectacular shot after another as are the stunts--and as far as violence goes when a character gets his cutthroat all they show are 2-3 drops of blood--one of the funniest, dumbest, craziest movie I have seen in a long time.




4) "Labor Day"--Prime Amazon--A Romantic & Crime Movie--Synopsis: 2 strangers are drawn together under incredible circumstances--a former vibrant and sensual woman single mother beaten down by life and her son are taken prisoners by a strong, flawed fugitive, who bakes a mean peach pie, and all three, especially the son, are changed--not a spoiler but I am still unsure how Henry came into being unless I missed when it was explained so when you see it let me know what the answer is--Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin are 2 movie stars who's films I never miss and they are dynamite in this movie.




5) "Mr. Harrigan's Phone"--Netflix--Horror Movie--1 hour & 40 minutes--Synopsis: a boy and aging billionaire bound over books and phones--when the old man dies their connection continues--based on a Stephen King novella--aside from annoying voice-over narration they really don't explain how Mr. Harrigan made the phone calls--this is probably the first Stephen King story I enjoyed and it was good seeing Donald Sutherland acting again.




6) "Inheritance"--Netflix--A Mystery Movie--1 hour & 51 minutes--Synopsis: a creepy captive man and the daughter of a very wealthy man are brought together when her father dies--basically a duel between Lily Collins as the daughter and Simon Pegg as the prisoner--a really good weird mystery thriller not to forget a 'camp' aspect with two good actors 'fighting' each other.
