1) "A Hero"--Amazon Prime--Iranian film--2 hours & 7 minutes--Oscar nominated for best picture 2021 tells the story of Rahim, who is in prison for failing to repay a loan he had taken. After getting a leave from prison, Rahim tries to execute an audacious plan to repay his creditor but faces a moral dilemma in the process--lies are an important part of this film and they come constantly--social media is the 'star' of this movie 2) "Dark Desire"--Netflix--Mexican/Spanish thriller series--season 2--10 episodes--5 hours & 8 minutes--sex, sex and, oh yes, sex, soft porn--your choice 3) "The Kindness of Strangers"--Netflix--American film--1 hour & 55 minutes--Clara, wife of an abusive policeman, mother of 2 boys, takes the kids and runs away to Manhattan--without even a nod to Tennessee Williams and certainly nothing to do with "A Streetcar Named Desire"--a different kind of film with many different people to hold your interest, except Clara and the boys, all the characters are 'characters' but we only get to know the flimsy surface roles they are playing as if written before the main story was 4) "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"--Amazon Prime--series--season 4--each Friday, through March, 2 more episodes will be shown--if you liked the first 3 seasons you will like the 4th--sort of defeats the idea of streaming versus cable or broadcast viewing 5) A new streaming service REVRY for the LGBTQRSTUVW (just add your own letters) mainly for the Gay & Lesbian community--I, basically, watched 2 examples of their 'product' 6) "Steam" the musical--a 19 minute film(?) about a conductor falling for a train robber and 7) "Hot To Trot"--documentary--1 hour & 28 minutes--about the Gay ballroom dance contest scene--I cancelled my 1 week trial and would suggest subscribing either to Netflix, Amazon Prime or HereTV if interested in watching Gay (or LBTQRSTUVW, etc.) content , or
