My Top Three This Week
Greetings to all my semi-constant readers. It has been a season for thanks and as the Christmas holiday approaches I will have some treats. But first here is what I am thankful for right now even though Thanksgiving has just passed.
1) If Jennifer Aniston doesn't win an Emmy for The Morning Show something is wrong in the universe. As Alex Levy the morning show co- host to the downfallen Mitch Kessler ( Steve Carrell). Aniston has to to pick up the pieces as Mitch is suddenly embroiled in a #Metoo scandal and the fallout has sent the show spiraling and everyone is trying to find out who leaked the story and who is part of the coverup. Reese Witherspoon is unexpectedly thrown in to co -host after Mitch is gone and she gains a lot of fans and enemies. So many great actors and parts including Billy Crudup who is currently have a big resurgence. Streaming on AppleTV+.
2) Mrs Fletcher on HBO based on the Tom Perrotta best seller is a story of an empty nester whose douchebag son goes off to college and she discovers a penchant for porn and a longing for a life she missed. Kathryn Hahn inhabits Eve Fletcher in the way she inhabits every role - with beauty and passion. Jackson White as her son Brendan is discovering being a big man on high school campus does not translate in college. His road to enlightenment echoes Eve's as we see them grow into who they need to be.
3) Living With Yourself a Netflix Original is Paul Rudd doubled. An original story of a man who is tired and unhappy in his work and marriage to a beautiful woman decides to go in for a life changing massage. He comes out a new man literally! Without giving too much away this is a very unusual story line and Paul Rudd does some of his best acting in years as Miles and Miles.Binge this!
