Movie #1027 ........................."Gracie & Frankie"

Movie #1027 "Gracie & Frankie" unites two beloved friends from another movie "Nine to Five" and has them married to the great Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, only to be told in the first couple of minutes that their husbands have been having a love affair for 20+ years and now they want divorces from their wives so they can get married.  That's quite a bit to believe and take in, but these consummate actors make the show worth watching.  We just got through the first episode and not sure we will do much more, but we'll see.  It seems to be a winning combination, just a bit over the top at times.

Movie #1026 ........................."Who is Harry Nillson...."

Movie # 1026 "Who is Harry Nilsson (And Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him?)" was quite informative about the songwriter/singer Harry Nilsson, and how he was great friends with the Beatles, esp. John Lennon, how he drank quite a bit for a while but how he stopped, his kids, his wife, his ups and downs as a songwriter, how he made hits on the songs he wrote (or ironically didn't write) .  It was quite informative, just a bit long.  But I would recommend it if you would be interested in this guy's writing.  Of course, his most famous song is "Everybody's Talkin' at Me" from "Midnight Cowboy," but there was so much more to him and his music.
