The Fall Guy, Baby Reindeer, We Grown Now

Movie 1: The Fall Guy

This action packed romantic comedy is wonderfully good fun. This is an homage to Hollywood stuntman past, present and future. Inspired by the Lee Majors TV series of the 1980’s, Ryan Gosling is perfect as a down on his luck stuntman. His chemistry with Emily Blount is filled with good humor. Grossing $11,000,000 in its first two days and opening to rave reviews, this is a fun movie to sit back and enjoy.

Movie 2: Baby Reindeer

This is a Netflix six part limited series based on the real life of the main actor. This dark drama/comedy is at times difficult to watch yet totally compelling. A female patron in a bar stalks and terrorizes the male bartender. There is a lot going on here, from sexual abuse to sexual identity. Set in a London pub with a very good British cast.

Movie 3: We Grown Now

This coming of age story is set in the early 1990’s in the infamous Cabrini Green Housing Projects in Chicago. The story of two young friends unfolds slowly, yet poignantly and nostalgically. Good acting all around. Personal note: growing up in Chicago in the 60’s, I had a good friend who was bussed each day from Cabrini Green to my high school on the southwest side.

  1. Hi guys

    Definitely will see The Fall Guy and will watch Baby Reindeer on your recommendation. In Tuscany now on my 2nd OAT trip only because my cat passed away and I can travel again. I’m sure you’ve been here, some villa with very dark rooms and a visit to a goat farm.🐐🐐🐐 Wow they 💩 a lot.

  2. I agree with Eve! I saw interviews with the cast of The Fall Guy and the clips looked enticing. I’m glad you thought it was a good movie! Clips and interviews can be deceiving but I trust your reviews! Thanks! Looking forward to watching it!
