\n
1) THE PROPOSAL<\/strong>– 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “As artist Jill Magid prepares an exhibition that pays tribute to Mexico’s revered architect Luis Barrag\u00e1n, her efforts to access his professional archive challenge the copyright that makes his work largely inaccessible to the masses.”<\/p>\n

5\/24\/19-\u00a0Excellent reviews for this documentary. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2) THE QUIET ONE<\/strong>– 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “From the time he was a child, longtime Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman kept a journal — one that provides plenty of background material for this absorbing documentary, which also details his post-Stones projects.”<\/p>\n

6\/21\/19-\u00a0Poor reviews but I’d see it just for the history. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

3) MAIDEN<\/strong>– 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “In 1989, an all-female crew captained by 27-year-old Tracy Edwards entered the Whitbread Round the World Race on the yacht “Maiden.” By finishing second, the distaff sailors permanently transformed the all-male province of deep-water yacht racing.”<\/p>\n

6\/28\/19-\u00a0Excellent reviews for this documentary. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Recommended-<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1) JUDY<\/strong>– 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “Set in 1968, this dramatized biopic recounts singer Judy Garland’s last concerts in London, where the fragile and weary star prepares for a run of sold-out shows while beginning a courtship with her soon-to-be-fifth spouse.”<\/p>\n

9\/22\/19-\u00a0Very good reviews for this new film although there was much more critical praise for Zellweger than for the movie itself. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2) FIRST LOVE-<\/strong> 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, young boxer Leo finds himself thrown into company with a call girl named Monica, who’s unwittingly involved in a drug ring. With nothing left to lose, Leo decides to become her protector.”<\/p>\n

3) THE DAY SHALL COME<\/strong>– 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “Taking aim at the crooked tactics of U.S. Homeland Security, this biting satire follows the foibles of Moses Al Shabaz, a Miami street preacher in need of cash who accepts aid from a covert FBI unit and ends up framed as a terrorist.”<\/p>\n

9\/27\/19-\u00a0Mixed reviews with more good than bad. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4) SINK OR SWIM-<\/strong> 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “A group of 40-something guys, all on the verge of a mid-life crisis, decide to form their local pool’s first ever synchronized swimming team – for men. Braving the skepticism and ridicule of those around them, and trained by a fallen champion trying to pull herself together, the group set out an unlikely adventure, and on the way will rediscover a little self-esteem and a lot about themselves and each other.”<\/p>\n

9\/27\/19-\u00a0Fairly good reviews. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) SISTER AIMEE<\/strong>– 2019. Synopsis by Netflix. “In 1926, the world’s most famous evangelist, Sister Aimee Semple McPherson, fakes her own death in order to run away to Mexico with her married lover and radio engineer Kenny. Once on the road, and equipped with new identities, they find themselves chased by the very person Aimee so desperately tried to kill.”<\/p>\n
