My Top Three This Week
Greetings to all my semi-constant readers.. I'm spending a lot of times these days watching Oscar nominated films. I highly recommend Nightmare Alley, Power of the Dog and Spencer. This could be Kristen Stewart's year and lets not forget about Encanto and the great soundtrack. If you want to watch something really fun watch Marry Me Lots of new content and some series endings (Claws) but here are some of my favorites right now.
1) Inventing Anna streaming on Netflix is based on a true story about Anna Delvey who conned socialites and artists alike around 2013-2017 pretending to be a wealthy German heiress. Another Shonda Rimes hit! Played to perfection by Julia Garner (Ozark) . The cat and mouse game of what is real and what isn't is well played by Anna now in a jail cell and reporter Vivian Kent ( Anna Chlumsky) who wants to uncover the real story. Is it a love story between Anna and Chase (Saamer Usmani) who is charming all the rich benefactors or is it a big con? Watch the series and find out!
2) Kimi a movie streaming on HBO Max directed by Steven Soderbergh is one of the best tech thrillers around. Starring Zoë Kravitz as Angela Childs who lives in Seattle working in tech for an A.I. called Kimi an Alexa like platform helping the tool learn by deciphering questions from users. She uncovers what she believes is a crime during a sound bite and reports the incident only to find herself under attack. An Agoraphobic not leaving her apartment, she finds herself on the run. Great casting and fantastic co-stars like Rita Wilson, and Jaime Camil. This is one of my favorite thrillers in some time.
3) Wolf Like Me a Peacock Original series now streaming is great genre twist starring Josh Gad and Isla Fisher as an unlikely love story with a twist. This charming story introduces us to Gary (Gad) a lonely widower with a clever daughter Emma (amazing Ariel Donoghue) who gets into a wreck with Mary (Fisher) who is an emotional wreck herself. Gary and Mary keep being put together through the series and they begin dating. Things don't go so well once Gary finds Mary's dark secret but the humor and heart keep us rooting for this little family. I enjoyed this quirky comedy.
