The 1619 Project (2023)
These stories need to be told
The truth about the history of enslavement in the US and the long-lasting consequences is heartbreaking and enlightening. I've expanded my knowledge after the first two episodes, and interested in watching the entire series of 6 episodes. I thought I had learned about American History in middle school and high school, but I didn't learn the complete history. Now I'm wishing I had been taught the complete version instead of the whitewashed version served up in our schools. The old saying that those who don't learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them is true. As a nation we need to know better and do better.
Nine Perfect Strangers (2021)
Scratch my head
The storyline was muddy and the point of the story only became clear in the last episode. Melissa McCarthy was the shining star. The relevance of Masha having a Russian accent was unclear, but the accent wasn't convincing and didn't further this confusing story. Nicole Kidman could have benefitted from a dialect coach.
Army of One (2020)
Bad
This was my husband's bad idea of a Valentines movie. Full of obvious villains and poor unsurprising plots and characters. Needless to say, my spouse is OFF the movie picking committee!
