Bad Sisters (TV 2022)

Rotten Tomatoes

Rotten Tomatoes

Bad Sisters (TV 2022): Series opens with funeral of unloved husband of one of five sisters who all have motives to kill him. Flashbacks fill in the story. Irish black comedy. Absurdities abound, but the seriousness of sisterhood is at its core. Starts slow but finishes strong. B+

She Said (2022)

Rotten Tomatoes

Rotten Tomatoes

She Said (2022): An important film about the investigation that kicked off the "Me Too" movement. Dogged reporters track down the story. Unlike Watergate, they know from the start what they're after. They just need to convince the women to talk. Slow and talky start leads to fast and emotional climax. B+

From 2022 07 09 Miltenberg

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Miltenberg, Germany. It shows the town's old market square, featuring a fountain created in 1583 by the sculptor Michael Junker from red sandstone. Which by the look of things, today makes a nice place for American tourists to sit and relax.

The Addams Family at BHS (2023)

The Addams Family (2023): Berkner High School theater players slay in a creepy, kooky performance that is definitely not "normal." Even the fire department had a part in the fun.

POTD: Complete Street in Miltenberg

From 2022 07 09 Miltenberg

Today's photo-of-the-day shows a complete street from the medieval town of Miltenberg, Germany. There are pedestians, bicycles, shops, restaurants and residences. In the Middle Ages complete streets were called "streets." American tourists love them in Miltenberg. A lack of imagination prevents them from being used more at home.
