UH OH, RANT AHEAD
Ever since Prime added advertisements to their offerings, I've been a disgruntled viewer. If it wasn't for Prime shipping, I'd probably cut that expense because their content has continued to disappoint.
Now Netflix is planning on inserting advertising in their streaming. I haven't found a lot of content on Netflix that's worth paying for. In the last year or so, their original series and movies have been disappointing.
I understand Netflix is also going to hike the subscription fee. Again. That's probably when I'll dedicate an NSYNC song to them: "Bye Bye Bye."
If forced to stream with ads, why not download all the free streaming apps like Tubi, Pluto, Peacock, Vudu, Plex, Freevee—which is owned by Amazon—Sling, and others? Many of the offerings on Amazon and Netflix are also on Tubi, and new content pops up there more often than on the other paid streaming services.
REVIEW, MY OLD LADY
Sorry about the rant, but it ticks me off since we went to streaming to avoid commercials!
Here's a movie on Tubi, which has an awesome new interface, that was a delight.
The movie is funny, compelling, and thought-provoking, dealing with some heavy issues. It's an emotional minefield navigated by adults whose lives were shaped by their parents' actions.
Kline is marvelous as the man who travels to Paris to claim an inheritance but finds there's a problem—a cranky old lady (Maggie Smith) who proves to be a major impediment to his plans.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Absolutely watch My Old Lady. The acting is superb, and the story has some twists and turns. You'll find yourself thinking about it afterwards.
