Movies We Watch

I have not seen the documentary about the Ediths and am not sure if I want to after seeing this. It was depressing watching the relationship between this mother and daughter.

I am not a Trekkie. I can honestly say that I don’t remember ever watching a full episode of Star Trek. There are parts of this movie that make me think that sitting down and watching a couple episodes might be an okay idea. They are presented as life lessons and unity plays by many [...]
