The Good Cop (2018)
Excellent writing makes for great drama/comedy (dramedy!)
Very good casting and story lines. It never is a cut and dry scenario and keeps you wondering as well as being entertained. Tony Danza is a runaway hit and surprisingly sings very well (would have expected this from Josh G). At any rate, this series will not disappoint...so enjoy!
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
An annual must see!
This is the kind of movie that allows each one of us to put ourselves in check. To remind ourselves of putting our own wants aside and putting family and friends first. Excellently written (ahead of its time) and well casted.
In all its simplest of times this story still rings true today. It is not really a Christmas movie, but a 'Feel Good' movie and can be seen at any time.
This classic will live on and on...if you were born in the 40's and 50's you'll take exceptional pleasure in this movie particularly seeing some of the cast as they relate to TV show's of the past - Little Rascals, Donna Reed Show, Dobbie Gillis, etc. (you'll pick them out). A must have as a film treasure.
Gleason (2002)
Brad Garrett and Michael Chieffo
This movie captures the raw Gleason to the point of dislike; however, movie reflects that he was a driven man who knew what the audience wanted...frankly, by their reactions to prior performances. Brad Garrett captures this well and Michael Chieffo is an excellent Art Carney (who should play Carney in his own movie as the man is that convincing.)
When viewing this film pay close attention to the earlier years when Gleason is a boy and the expressions used by his father around the house and in treating his mother. Gleason eventually turns what would be deemed as closet skeletons into humor. Nicely done!
