Dog Gone

January 13, 2023 by Lisa M. Hendey

There's much to love about the newly released Netflix original Dog Gone, now streaming across the platform.

The main canine character "Gonker" not only steals the show but is also the spitting image of my … [Read more...] about Dog Gone

The Starling

September 27, 2021 by Lisa M. Hendey

We each process grief differently. I've seen it time and time again. A situation that would have me curled up in the fetal position for days is only a slight hiccup for a friend or family member. I'm a "Pray. Take it to therapy. Journal about it" griever. One of my best friends does far better … [Read more...] about The Starling

Blue Miracle

May 26, 2021 by Lisa M. Hendey Leave a Comment

Some of my favorite films are those based in reality. It's always interesting to see how a "true" story will be adapted for the big screen. Sure, liberties are often taken. But part of the joy for me in watching these kinds of movies is in knowing that something so awesome actually really did … [Read more...] about Blue Miracle

Within the context of Hawaiian culture, "Ohana" means "family". But just as in the rest of the world the concept of "family" is always evolving, the film FINDING 'OHANA, releasing today on Netflix, shows that one's 'Ohana is never really a static concept.
