Miss Potter (2006)
Not factual
I just read a biography on Beatrix Potter. She was actually the one who published her first book because publishers were not interested (until the books she had printed sold out very quickly). The Tale of Peter Rabbit was based on a story in a letter Potter sent to a friend's sick child.
I never read about Potter talking to her drawings and calling them friends? This is a weird addition to the movie.
I have not finished watching the movie yet. Let's hope it starts to resemble the life of Beatrix Potter.
I do like the costumes and I love seeing the Lake District. Very beautiful scenery.
Did you know Beatrix studied mushrooms and knew more about them than probably anyone of her time period?
The Kettering Incident (2016)
Great acting, good sci-fi mystery
I really enjoyed this series. Based on the synopsis on Amazon, I didn't expect a show full of paranormal events akin to something you would find in a really good season of the X- Files. I was reminded of the storytelling in Lost - always more questions are raised than answered. But that is what kept me watching Lost for several seasons because let's be honest, once they start answering questions with implausible stories or bad cg aliens then we lose interest. The mystery is what I enjoy. And this show throws them at you thick and fast. I found this show to be utterly intriguing with some very fine acting from the whole cast. Lots of tension and suspense, yet not too creepy to scare me off. (Almost, though) This is a great show for fans of shows like The X Files and Stranger Things. I am looking forward to the next season!
