Movie Review by Linda!: The Battle of the Sexes (2017)

 "The Battle of the Sexes," starring Emma Stone and Steve Carell, is about the epic tennis showdown between Billy Jean King and Bobby Riggs back in 1973. Thank you to my trivia team for recommending this film. It is fascinating, has a great cast, and in my humble opinion deserved more award nominations than it received. (Only two Golden Globe nods to Stone and Carell, which they both lost.) 4.5/5 stars.

Movie Review by Linda: March of the Penguins (2004)

                                                  
This Oscar-winning documentary from 2004, "March of the Penguins," focuses on the Empire penguins in Antarctica, and their long treks to and from the breeding grounds. I learned a lot about the Empire penguin, mainly that I hope to never be reincarnated as one. LOL. The adults, both male and female, have a tough life.  This really is not a "feel good" film, although there are some cute and endearing moments. Stay for the end credits to see how close the filmmakers could get to the penguins. That's fun to watch. 4.5 stars.

Moms, Wine Drinkers, Movie Lovers...WELCOME!

Welcome to the NEW blog for Moms, wine drinkers, and movie lovers!  

After publishing four volumes of movie reviews (with our very unique, wine infused take) my friend and fellow author, Linda Schmalz, and I decided to not only offer our books for those of you who are looking for movie perspectives such as our, but also our NEW reviews right here, for all to see!

WELCOME, Moms, WELCOME, Wine Drinkers, and WELCOME Movie lovers!

If you're familiar with our books (which your can purchase here: in book or digital form on Amazon) then  you know we don't just review the big flicks, the block busters, and the main stream offerings. We are open to films of all genres.  With all the streaming services available now, there are literally millions of films out there to watch and believe me, we've watched some funky, weird stuff, and we have opinions about it all!

I should also warn you, Linda and I rarely agree on movies.  So...if you see a review from one of us, check in again later...there will most likely be a rebuttal!

All of our movie reviews are based on the number of glasses of wine we need to get through it.  One wine glass is an excellent movie.  Five glasses is probably a movie you should avoid.

And hey, readers, if you have a movie you'd like us to review, don't be shy!  You can reach us here in the comments section of this blog or reach out to my facebook page.  Right now, thanks to Covid-19, we have a lot of time on our hands!

Sit back, relax, pour yourself a glass of vino and check in with us to see what we think of YOUR favorite films!
