Netflix "All the Light You Cannot See." Great cast, compelling storyline based on an award-winning book.

.......Terry ,John.....I haven`t seen either of your selections,but I`ll make a note to do so.........the emotional juggernaut that is the Christmas season,seems to always "knock me off my feed" for a while

.......I mindlessly re-watched Kirk Douglas beat up the Captain,a giant squid and the entire crew of the Nautilus on a 1954 production of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.....that`s my speed for now....that,and a fine cup of coffee to begin each day

.......with the emotional depth of a waterstain,the 2020 Wolfie feature today,will be The Wolf of Snow Hollow !!!!!!!!

In much the same way, I default to mindless action movies. Any Liam Neeson vehicle will do.

After scanning the quiet streets during the Christmas season Brainerd officers excitedly decide to duck out and head to JayBee's house to watch The Wolf of Snow Hollow; which they heard was even gorier than putting a man through a wood chipper!

I felt I was letting the other kids down here for not having something very special to watch........I`m here now,to redeem myself.......the following review is not my own work.....I do agree with it 100%

 

"Jules is an absolute gem of a film that left me captivated from start to finish. This cinematic masterpiece effortlessly blends simplicity and depth, offering a truly unique and unforgettable experience. The movie's ability to seamlessly transition between moments of humor and sadness is a testament to its brilliant storytelling.

 
The simplicity of Jules is what makes it so special. It doesn't rely on elaborate plotlines or grandiose settings to captivate its audience. Instead, it delves into the intricacies of human emotions and relationships, drawing you in with its authenticity and relatability. The characters come alive on screen, each with their own quirks and flaws, making them feel like old friends.
 
What truly sets Jules apart is its ability to evoke a wide range of emotions. It effortlessly weaves moments of laughter and joy with moments of profound sadness and introspection. This emotional rollercoaster leaves you reflecting on the complexities of life long after the credits roll. It's a testament to the film's incredible writing and the skillful performances of the cast.
 
Visually, Jules is a treat for the eyes. The cinematography beautifully captures the essence of the story, enhancing the emotions conveyed by the characters. From breathtaking landscapes to intimate close-ups, each shot is carefully crafted to immerse you deeper into the narrative.
 
In conclusion, Jules is a beautiful movie that will touch your heart and linger in your thoughts long after you've watched it. Its simplicity, combined with its ability to evoke a wide range of emotions, makes it a true masterpiece. If you're in the mood for a film that is both thought-provoking and entertaining, Jules is an absolute must-watch."

took me four tries so far to get this going "Carol and The End of the World"

the main character is voiced by Martha Kelly,the actress who played the beleaguered,arm cast wearing, co-star to Zach Galifianakis in the series "baskets"

as Carol ,she is once again beleaguered in a world about to shut off for good......I like it in the same way I liked "Bojack Horseman"

 

a review NoT written by me

Discovering a show that instantly captivates your interest is like stumbling upon a hidden treasure, and that's exactly what happened when this particular show appeared in my feed. From the very first episode, I was hooked, drawn into a world that was not just about a woman's journey in the end times, but also a profound exploration of finding solace and embracing your true essence.

At first glance, the show may seem slow-paced to younger viewers, who are accustomed to fast-paced action and instant gratification. But for those of us who have experienced life's ups and downs, who have weathered the storms and come out stronger on the other side, this show is a revelation. It speaks to the depths of our souls, resonating with our own personal journeys and reminding us of the strength and resilience we possess.

The main character, Carol, becomes a mirror through which we see our own selves reflected. Her struggles, her triumphs, her moments of doubt and self-discovery, all become a lens through which we examine our own lives. We find solace in her journey, as she navigates the complexities of a world turned upside down, and we are reminded that we too have the power to overcome adversity and find our true essence.

This show is not just entertainment; it is a profound exploration of the human spirit. It challenges us to question our own beliefs and values, to confront our fears and insecurities, and to embrace the fullness of who we are. It reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of hope, a spark of resilience that can guide us towards a brighter future.

So, if you're looking for a show that goes beyond mere entertainment, that delves deep into the human experience and leaves you pondering long after the credits roll, then look no further. This show is a rare gem, a captivating journey that will touch your heart and leave an indelible mark on your soul
