True Crime Reality

There were history-making moments, as well as awkward ones, at last night's 68th annual Grammy Awards.  Cher's Lifetime Achievement Award presentation went off the rails and culminated with her introducing Luther Vandross as the winner of the Record of the Year. (Vandross passed away 21 years ago.)  The night also included interesting outfits, ICE references, and a Trevor Noah joke that prompted Pres. Trump to promise a lawsuit.

“Melania” hit theaters nationwide on Friday and the reviews are in… and they aren’t kind.  With no advance screeners before its opening, this is the first time we are hearing from the critics about what they think of Amazon’s 40 millions dollar documentary on the First Lady, and they are not shy about their disdain for the film.  Meantime audience reviews are at an all time high which is mirroring early box office numbers that show “Melania” is on its way to exceeding expectations.

So many of us are devastated and surprised to hear the news that 71 year old Cathrine O’Hara suddenly died after what officials are calling “a brief illness.”  Although O’Hara missed the Golden Globes after being nominated for her role in “The Studio” there was no indication she was ill.  Beloved and honored for her role as Moira Rose in “Schitts Creek”, O’Hara is also being remembered by those who worked and loved her throughout her 50 plus year career from the “Home Alone” movies, to “Beetlejuice” and so much more.

Two very different closing arguments in the double murder trial of Brendan Banfield.  The defense ended strong, poking holes in the au pair’s testimony, saying none of it can be trusted, first because she has every incentive to cooperate with the prosecution and second, because the digital forensics don’t support the au pair’s and prosecution’s catfishing narrative.  The prosecution sped though their closing, going through the evidence they presented, point by point, finishing in less than 20 minutes.  There was no storytelling and little emotion, and ended with this conclusion: either you believe the au pair or you believe Brendan Banfield.
