Blu-ray Review: The Kitchen (2019)
Not sure went wrong here. Oscar-nominated screenwriter making her directorial debut. Cult fave comic miniseries as source material. Three great stars - Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, Elisabeth Moss - headlining.![]()
Blu-ray Review: 10 Minutes Gone
A heist thriller with two marquee names but not enough thrills. Bruce Willis is really a supporting player here to Michael Chiklis. Should've been more interesting.![]()

Letter from DC
Letter from DC takes a substantive – and often lighthearted – look at politics and public policy that digs deeper than sound bites and talking point manifestos. The insider perspective tracks the pressing topics of the day coming from Congress, the executive branch and its agencies, and the Courts and the means in which they are deliberated. Sometimes with an edge, sometimes with humor, Letter from DC provides a barroom understanding of the issues facing Washington D.C. and those it represents.
Letter From DC: Washington, "DC," and the State of the Union
Maybe Washington is a cesspool of political sludge, worthy of the criticism made by those most responsible for creating it. But sharing a fine lager at many a Capitol Hill bar demonstrated that D.C. is doing just fine, thank you very much. It's all those people in Washington that are the problem.

It was one of the finest and most honorable acts by the U.S. Senate in recent memory: to affirm one’s professional and legal credentials without regard to sexuality and with no drama.
