Raise Hell (2019)

Rotten Tomatoes
Raise Hell (2019): Documentary of Molly Ivins, the journalist who reveled in holding in contempt and ridicule powerful politicians. Lots of clips from interviews and speeches. If you remember her fondly, you'll like this movie. If you're MAGA, you won't. It's that simple. B-

POTD: Bumpy Ride

From 2018 09 20 Monument Valley

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Monument Valley on the Arizona/Utah border. The rock formations are the famous "mittens." But don't overlook the tiny cars threading their way through the valley. The best thing about Monument Valley is the drive. It's bumpy. It's dusty. It's slow. It's hard on cars. But it offers great views. Bumping along, you can even imagine John Wayne in a stagecoach.

Dark (TV 2018)

Rotten Tomatoes
Dark (TV 2018): Missing children, dead birds, a cave in the woods, a nuclear power plant, and secrets from 33 years ago, all make this a compelling time travel mystery. Plan to keep detailed notes of the timelines and a list of characters. Or just go along for the wild ride. B+

Hustlers (2019)

Rotten Tomatoes
Hustlers (2019): Ex-strippers move on to seducing, drugging, then separating men from their money. First half is trashy (you might be tempted to walk), second half is melodrama, the whole barely gets a thumbs-up, I guess because it shows women taking charge of their lives?? C+
