REVIEW: “A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE” [NETFLIX]
A House of Dynamite is the hottest new show on Netflix. It’s so impactful that some top government officials are now commenting on it. They’re denying its realism mostly — which probably means it’s frighteningly close to being accurate. Yes, it could happen. The movie — and particularly the ending — has triggered a broad spectrum of reactions from political insiders and the general public alike. This isn’t surprising given the deep divide within our nation and the chronic depth of disinformation poisoning healthy discussion and made constructive debate difficult if not impossible.
Directed by the Oscar winner of The Hurt Locker (along with Zero Dark Thirty) the film and story are signature Kathryn Bigelow at her very best, reflecting her own unique brand of style and storytelling. Fast-pacing, jittery camera shots, imperfect angles across paper-stacked desks, awkward pauses and occasional interruptions, and devotion to the tiniest details are Bigelow’s cinematic trademark. Reminiscent of the best film adaptations of Tom Clancy’s novels a generation ago, she’s carrying that legacy and level of authenticity. Bigelow clearly hasn’t lost a step returning to the all-too familiar subject matter of another intense political and military conflict, though this crisis is not played out on battlefields, but rather beneath florescent office lights burrowed in bureaucratic concrete mazes and newsroom-looking situation rooms operating 24/7/365 under the government’s alphabet soup of letter abbreviations.

MEETING “LASSIE’S MOM”
Even though she died a few days ago, only now did I just learn of the death of June Lockhart. If you grew up watching 50s and 60s television, you remember her as *everyone’s* mom. Her beloved television shows included Lassie, Lost in Space, Petticoat Junction, plus many character roles in popular movies, usually typecast as the ideal mom. She embodied the perfect image of the ideal mother–and the portrayal was authentic. She was the real deal, and as nice as she could possibly be.
I got to meet Mrs. Lockhart once. The story is worth sharing.

PEACH FLORALS WITH A HINT OF ALUMINUM:
WINE IN A CAN ?
Well, this is a first.
Check iit out — wine inside an aluminum bottle.
Until this past weekend while at a local grocery store I’d never seen anything like this before. Glass bottles are the norm in wine packaging. I’ve also seen clay bottles. I’ve seen plenty of jugs and boxes, though such wines are to be avoided at all costs. But I’ve never come across light aluminum, which reminds me of the packaging of canned beer.

I won’t pretend to know much about pop music, nor do I have the subject knowledge to write about contemporary artists. Most people of my generation aren’t into the latest hit songs. I’m beyond guilty of ignorance and indifference, as well.
Indeed, how many people over the age of 50 complain that — “today’s music sucks?” When it comes to music, we’ve become our parents — hell, make that our grandparents. I couldn’t name any of the music atop of the charts right now, even if there was a cash reward. If you share this naivete, then please READ ON. I think you’ll get something great out what I’m about to share. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.

MY QUICK TAKE ON THE ILLUSION OF PEACE IN GAZA
Almost everybody wants peace, that’s is, aside from innumerable extremists scattered throughout the Middle East–which includes both Palestinians and Israelis. They aren’t going away anytime soon. Don’t be fooled by innocent people who mean well dancing in the streets, because there are quite a few you don’t see on the news hiding out and plotting the next chapter…. and it’s not going to be pretty for anyone.
