My Top Three This Week
Greetings to all my semi-constant readers. If you can not get enough Tiger King check out the podcast Joe Exotic:Tiger King for many of the crazy details that were not included in the Netflix series and look for an upcoming production miniseries with Kate Mckinnon as Carole Baskin I keep getting so many recommendations from people and it is so great to get turned on to something new and that is why I keep looking for some gems that might have been missed. I am sure many of you have binge watched the fantastic Gentefied, the third season of Good Girls and Ozark like me arguably some of the best shows on the small screen.I have a few of my new favorites below
1) Home Before Dark on AppleTV+ is one of the most interesting series I have watched in awhile. The story of a journalist's family who leave Brooklyn after a tragic news story and move back to Eerie Harbor his hometown. His nine year old daughter Hilde , a budding reporter herself also self publishes her own newspaper and uncovers clues for a 30 year old kidnapping cold case that rocked the town and also happened to involve her own father. Jim Sturgess, Kylie Rogers, Abby Miller and Brooklynn Prince as Hilde turn in well thought out performances and Prince is a star on the rise. Is it coincidence that this budding reporter earns her name from another famous reporter on His Girl Friday ( Hildy played by Roselind Russell. This is captivating television. #Homebeforedark
2) I See You streaming on Netflix is a twisty turny movie that keeps getting better the further it goes. If you don't know what phrogging is you will find out in this movie and it is super creepy and a real thing. Starring Helen Hunt, Jon Tenney , Judah Lewis and Owen Teague (IT), this is a tale of a town dealing with a disappearance of a young boy and the apparent haunting in the house of the lead detective Tenney and his wife and son. (Hunt gives a solid performance and Owen Teague proves again that he can play anything from his role in Mrs. Fletcher and the bully in IT. This was a nice treat to find. #ISeeYou
3) Vivarium , available for rent is a creepfest told in such clever way it seems to integrate dark humor and a slowly building quiet terror . Imogeen Poots and Jesse Eisenburg star in this film of a young couple looking for a new home , wanting to start a family who find themselves in a cookie cutter neighborhood with no visible neighbors or a way out. A small baby is left for them to raise along with daily food dropped off in front of their door. The young couple slowly go insane as they try to escape and find the secret of their new world. #Vivarium
Bonus: And now for something wacky. Watch Lazy Susan starring Sean Hayes as Susan the epitome of a narcissistic , lazy woman who lives off of her family and shops in the stores using motorized shopping carts and uses her belly button as a reservoir for ketchup to dip her fries versus getting up for a dish. Starring some great comedy costars such as Allison Janney, Matthew Broadrick, Carrie Aizley , Margo Martindale and the hilarious Jim Rash. This almost feels like a Kristin Wiig vehicle. Hayes is excellent as Susan as well as a great supporting cast.
