Mr. Harrigan's Phone Blumhouse Productions, Ryan Murphy Productions Netflix Release date October 5, 2022 My Rating  5/10 #whatonwhatsgood Rating 60% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Craig (Jaeden Martell) works for Mr. Harrigan (Donald Sutherland).  He reads him books.   One day, Craig gives Mr. Harrigan a phone and suddenly Mr. Harrigan passes away.  Even though Mr. Harrigan dies, Craig sends him texts and tells him about the bully at school.  Next thing you know, the bully dies and Craig wonders if Mr. Harrigan did it.   Is Mr. Harrigan receiving these voicemails from beyond the grave?

It captured perfectly the absurdity, horror and madness of America at that time. I reread it again in the early months of 2020 and it felt like now. But the now o...

Babylon Marc Platt Productions, Material Pictures Paramount Pictures My Rating  7/10 #whatonwhatsgood Rating  74% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Babylon is set during the final years of the silent era of Hollywood.  The movie begins with a party and you slowly are introduced to Manuel Torres (Diego Calva), Nellie LaRoy (Margot Robbie), Jack Conrad (Brad Pitt), and Sidney (Jovan Adepo). Throughout the film, you learn how these group of characters navigate their way through the changing world of cinema. Overall, not a bad film.  I think my favourite character is Manuel Torres (Diego Calva).  I particularly enjoyed watching him go from a nobody to a Hollywood studio executive.
