Marine Mom

Worst movie I've seen in a long time. Good grief. What a waste of time. Horrible.

I love "Carrie's story". Although I would've chosen Aiden years ago, the storyline with Big was touching. I loved watching SJP age so gracefully. After the last episode, I went back and watched all 6 seasons of Sex and the City. Which, really intrigued me. Too bad the riff between the two kept Samantha off this last hurrah. It was missing that element. No matter how hard they tried to fill that hole in the story, it came up lacking without Samantha. (I was less than impressed with the new characters.) Charlotte ... well, the whole Rose/Rock thing grew tiresome. Harry made me smile, such a great guy. And Lily turned out just as I knew she would, and that was truly satisfying. Charlotte, as always, remained shallow and prissy. In the old series Charlotte always lamented over her thighs. Kristen Davis has definitely thickened over the years, despite her beauty. Just as so many women do. So sad to lose Stanley ... RIP, Willie. But it's the character of Miranda that has me wanting to pull out my hair. Watch the old series. She really loved Steve. And Steve worshipped Miranda. Their history together was absolutely ripped apart by the writers of And Just Like That. That whole storyline made me want to throw a brick at my TV. I get it that Cynthia Nixon is gay, but Miranda was not. They even made a special point in telling us "Miranda" was not gay in the old series. And you don't throw out a good guy like Steve in the trash just because he's old and can't hear anymore. That was poor writing, obviously, by young writers who have no clue about devotion and the meaning of aging. Just bad. Really bad. Go back and watch the love story of Miranda and Steve. What she does to him in And Just Like That is disgusting. But ... I'll always be a fan of SJP. The timeline of Carrie is worth the whole Sex in the City series.

Review of And Just Like That. ... I am fan of the original series, and would give it five stars. But this reboot, I think the Miranda storyline is a huge disappointment. Frankly, it sucks. I can appreciate the death of Big. In fact, I found it very touching. I can even handle Samantha's absence. Also, the years of aging shows well on all their faces. But Miranda and her selfish self-absorbed move to divorce Steve ... just horrible. He's not mean, he treats her well, and he's steady and sure. But all of a sudden, she decides to throw away this sweet man because she "wants more." Obviously, her marriage meant nothing to her. His hair has gone gray, he now wears hearing aids, and the sex has aged as well as their bodies. The whole Miranda storyline makes me sick. And no, I don't care about her lesbian lover. What I care about is trashing a marriage many women would give an arm for.

One of my all-time favorites. Rather "hollywoody" but a rich and lasting story that stays with you. Even if Brad Pitt is the star. Worth the watch for the love, loss, the beauty of the American landscape and history it beholds.

It never ceases to amaze me how people who call themselves Christians, believe that Trump is one. A man who clearly stated he did not need to ask forgiveness for anything. If he was indeed installed by God into the presidency it was clearly for one reason and one reason only. To move the doomsday clock a few more seconds forward. To usher us closer to the tribulation period and the rise of the Antichrist. It was NOT because he cared one iota about the Christian/Evangelical agenda. He would literally say or do anything to get their votes. I am appalled by the bitterly blind Christians who believe otherwise.

A part of my childhood, the soundtrack is haunting. True to the holy scripture. Beautifully made. I pray those who were part of this film ... learned from it. And blessed by its truth.
