Also saw Battle of the Sexes, the new theatrical release about the 1973 tennis match between Male Chauvinist Pig (Bobby Riggs played by Steve Carrell) and Hairy-Legged Feminist (Billie Jean King played by Emma Stone). It was a real event … Continue reading
Gerald’s Game is a new Stephen King movie that premiered on Netflix Friday night. It’s based on one of his books that I thought was unfilmable when I read it 30 some years ago… but they pulled it off and … Continue reading
