Dog Gone

There's much to love about the newly released Netflix original Dog Gone, now streaming across the platform. I'll admit upfront to being biased in my review of this PG-rated, family-friendly dog drama.

Rainy Days in Los Angeles

January 10, 2023 by Lisa M. Hendey

Emancipation

December 14, 2022 by Lisa M. Hendey

Devotion

November 21, 2022 by Lisa M. Hendey

It's all the more remarkable because Director JD Dillard's blockbuster is based on a true story. In 2015, … [Read more...] about Devotion
