The last half of the last season of Ozark is done. We see what happens to the Byrd’s and all those drawn into their web of money-laundering including Ruth. Yes, spoilers ahead. Bottom line: I don’t think many people expected the Byrd’s to survive. Bad people aren’t supposed to win…

I really got into Raised by Wolves as the first season developed. So much so that some marketing company working for the studio sent me some gifts to promote it. I guess they think I’m an ‘influencer’ but my wife disagrees so I bow to a higher authority. Anywho. I…

This movie is in the news again because the Wolverines rallying cry is being painted on destroyed Russian armored vehicles. The consensus is that Red Dawn is pro-war, jingoistic movie. Oddly, my take on it is the exact opposite. I think it’s a very anti-war movie. It shows the price…

Between this series and From, we have two new series that are definitely mind-twisting. I’ve already posted on From, which has completed its first season with perhaps more questions than answers, but was intriguing enough to warrant that next season.

I really don’t want to give any spoilers so this is going to be short. I’ll just give my reactions. I liked it as I watched it, but when it ended I felt let down. I thought there were some big holes in the plot but it was obviously well…

I predicted a pandemic when I wrote the first draft of my Survival Guide in 2001. That doesn’t make me a genius. Anyone who spent more than a minute studying history knew one was inevitable. One always is. What I didn’t predict, and I’m a glass half-full, and that half…

Was today, 14 April, in 1865, when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. In some ways, this tragic event is subdued by the fact that the Civil War was essentially over by that point with Robert E. Lee having already capitulated several days earlier. It seems as if Lincoln’s major task in…

Made in 2005, some elements of V is for Vendetta feel quaint. The death toll from the virus that is released on the population to allow an autocratic government to take over is nothing compared to what we’ve experienced with COVID. In the States we’ve got over a million dead…
