Directed by Alex Winter Great HBO documentary about the life of child stars. There have been a lot of sad examples of child actors that after they grow up they are no longer hired in films or just end up in a bad place.

The Boys: Sherman’s brother’s story. (2009)
Directed by Gregory Sherman and Jeff Sherman I grew up at a time where movies were available easier than today thanks to video clubs and because of that, I grew up with all the great Disney movies of the ’60s and not only the animated classic. The Sherman brothers provided the music to a lot…… Continue reading The Boys: Sherman’s brother’s story. (2009)
The two Escobars (2010)
Directed by Jeff Zimbalist and Michael Zimbalist My knowledge of Pablo Escobar really began with the series Narcos. I remembered seeing that show and thinking this can’t be real. And I started looking for real footage and documentaries and amazingly it was all true. I am not a huge soccer fan so I never knew…… Continue reading The two Escobars (2010)
The times of Harvey Milk (1984)
Directed by Robert Epstein I am a fan of documentaries about history and real people. I knew of Harvey Milk because of the film where he is played by Sean Penn. I am never really interested in the political aspect but in the person and his story and sadly this one ended badly. The documentary…… Continue reading The times of Harvey Milk (1984)
Natalie Wood: What remains behind (2020)
Directed by Laurent Bouzereau I enjoy seeing these documentaries because it shines a more realistic look at the “icons” of Hollywood and we get to know them more and also because it inspires me to see more of their work. I had seen Rebel without a cause, but I did not know Natalie Wood starred…… Continue reading Natalie Wood: What remains behind (2020)
The show must go on: The Queen + Adam Lambert story (2019)

That is where the documentary begins, that moment where…… Continue reading The show must go on: The Queen + Adam Lambert story (2019)
The long-gone summer (2020)
Directed by AJ Schanck Another great documentary by ESPN. Sports are moments that we as fan never forget, the emotions and the excitement never goes away. Just like The Last Dance brought back the excitement of the Bulls championships, this one brought back the excitement of the Maguire and Sosa home run chase. The film…… Continue reading The long-gone summer (2020)
Love Life (2020)
Starring Anna Kendrick, Hope Davis Well season one just ended and if you hace HBO Max this is a good show to see. I found it similar to How I met Your mother but more dramatic and maybe a better story because it does not look to do an amount of episodes or seasons, at…… Continue reading Love Life (2020)
Defending Jacob (2020)
Directed by: Morten Tyldum Starring Chris Evans, Michelle Dockery, Jaeden Martell, Cherry Jones, and J.K. Simons Thankfully with the absence of movies, great streaming services are providing shows. I had Apple TV when it first started because I wanted to see the Morning Show, but once it ended I canceled. This show brought me back.…… Continue reading Defending Jacob (2020)
