December 6, 2022

Fox’s The Cleaning Lady season two concludes with back-to-back episodes airing on Monday, December 12, 2022. Season two episode 11, “Sanctuary,” airs at 8pm ET/PT followed by episode 12, “At Long Last,” at 9pm ET/PT.

Élodie Yung returns to lead the cast as Thony. Oliver Hudson stars as FBI Agent Garrett Miller, Adan Canto is Arman Morales, and Martha Millan is Fiona. Sean Lew plays Chris, Eva De Dominici is Nadia, Faith Bryant is Jaz, Naveen Andrews is Robert Kamdar, and Sebastien and Valentino LaSalle share time playing Luca.

“Sanctuary” Plot: Thony is confronted by Garrett regarding the truth behind Maya’s death as Nadia tries to stay on Kamdar’s good side. Meanwhile, Fiona helps Luca celebrate his birthday. Then, after Thony, Arman and Garrett work together to come up with a plan to take down Kamdar once and for all, Thony decides to take things into her own hands to ensure the safety of Fiona and Luca.

The Season 2 Plot, Courtesy of Fox:

Season two of The Cleaning Lady picks up with THONY (Yung) desperately trying to find her son, LUCA, after he was kidnapped by his father, MARCO (Ivan Shaw). With nowhere else to turn, she enlists the help of FBI Agent GARRETT MILLER (Hudson) to track him down before they leave the country. Meanwhile, an incident involving CHRIS (Lew) forces FIONA (Millan) to shield her son by any means necessary, furthering the theme of how far a mother will go to protect her child.

This season introduces ROBERT KAMDAR (Andrews), NADIA’s (De Dominici) gregarious and charming ex-lover, who is intent on driving a wedge between ARMAN (Canto) and Nadia. Standing to lose everything, Arman must fight to keep his world — and his dignity — intact, while rebuilding his life under the worst of circumstances.

The Cleaning Lady continues to examine the plight of undocumented immigrants and their difficulties accessing necessary healthcare and resources. Galvanized by the many roadblocks she faced while searching for a treatment to save her son, Thony will utilize her expertise as a doctor to find ways to help her underserved community. However, as Thony continues to entwine her business undertakings with Arman, she is dragged further across the moral line and into the dark underbelly of Las Vegas.

Review: ‘Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me’

December 6, 2022

Selena Gomez offers an incredibly raw, incredibly honest examination of her life in the powerful documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me. Gomez’s appreciation of her fans is evident throughout the 90-minute film, and yet it isn’t necessary to approach My Mind and Me with any knowledge of her life and career to be impressed with what the pop star and philanthropist has overcome.

Brave and authentic: two words that describe both the documentary and Gomez. It takes guts for anyone to open up and expose mental and physical struggles to complete strangers. Add fame and worldwide recognition to the mix, and the idea of going public with health issues would be overwhelming. The documentary addresses how Gomez’s struggles were often horribly misunderstood in the media, and how her suffering was fodder for the tabloids. Yet despite everything, Gomez was determined to help others by sharing her struggles with mental health.

The film spans a six-year period and addresses how body issues, self-doubt, depression, and a myriad of other issues left the talented artist questioning when who she was would be good enough.

The pressure to be perfect and a very public breakup with Justin Bieber affected her health, and battling lupus while dealing with incredibly stressful situations took a toll. 55 days into her “Revival” concert tour, Gomez had a mental breakdown and canceled the remaining dates. And, of course, that very private issue played out publicly.

Gomez told her assistant she didn’t want to live, and it was only after getting professional help and being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2019 that she was able to understand why she felt so out of control. In the documentary, Gomez admits she didn’t want to enter a mental health hospital, but she also didn’t want to be trapped inside her mind anymore.

Initially, Gomez didn’t understand how to cope with the diagnosis. Part of the process that allowed her to handle life post-diagnosis was learning everything she could about bipolar disorder. Understanding there was a legitimate medical reason for how she felt helped quiet the voices in her head.

Gomez confirmed her diagnosis in interviews in 2020 and uses her celebrity status to help others, becoming an advocate for people dealing with mental health issues.

Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me does show Gomez in happier moments – returning home, visiting her old school, and hanging with her BFF/cousin – but the documentary from director Alex Keshishian (Madonna: Truth or Dare) is at its best when Gomez uses her platform to address the importance of self-care and to fight the stigma of mental illness.

Gomez has a valuable story to share, and My Mind and Me allows audiences an opportunity to peek behind the curtain at a young woman who was fortunate enough to make it through the darkness thanks to a strong support system and mental health professionals. If the documentary prompts even one person to reach out for help, then it’s accomplished what it needs to do.

GRADE: B

Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me is currently streaming on Apple TV+.

Elvis star Austin Butler will be honored with the Palm Springs International Film Awards’ Breakthrough Performance Award. The Palm Springs International Film Festival previously announced Cate Blanchett has earned the Desert Palm Achievement Award (Actress), Colin Farrell will receive the Desert Palm Achievement Award (Actor), Sarah Polley was chosen to receive the Director of the Year Award, Michelle Yeoh will receive the International Star Award, and The Fabelmans has been selected to receive the 2023 Vanguard Award.

“Austin Butler commands the screen with a larger-than-life performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s spectacular film Elvis. The heart and soul of the movie, Butler’s dedication to this role shows in the nuances he brought to the character, seen through multiple decades of the often-tumultuous life Elvis lived, as well as the sprawling live performances where Austin embodies the iconic artist in a way previously unseen on the big screen,” stated Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. “We are honored to present the Breakthrough Performance Award to Austin Butler.”

Austin Butler joins a list of Breakthrough Performance Award winners that includes Mahershala Ali, Mary J. Blige, Marion Cotillard, Andra Day, Cynthia Erivo, Jennifer Hudson, Felicity Huffman, Brie Larson, Rami Malek, Lupita Nyong’o, David Oyelowo, Rosamund Pike, and Jeremy Renner.

The 2023 Palm Springs International Film Festival will take place January 5th through January 16th. The Film Awards will be held at the Palm Springs Convention Center on January 5th.

Austin Butler will next be seen playing Major Gale Cleven in Masters of the Air. Masters of the Air, described as a continuation of the Band of Brothers and The Pacific franchise, is a limited drama series from Apple Studios, Playtone, and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television. The series is based on the book by Donald L. Miller.

Butler’s credits also include Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Dead Don’t Die, and Dune: Part Two (opening November 3, 2023). He’s currently filming The Bikeriders, directed by Jeff Nichols and starring Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer, Michael Shannon, and Boyd Holbrook.

Netflix’s documentary series Harry & Meghan provides a peek behind the scenes at the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The six-episode docuseries from two-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker Liz Garbus provides an in-depth look at what they endured that led to their decision to leave their Royal duties behind.

The first three episodes premiere on December 8, 2022. The second batch of three episodes debuts on December 15.

The Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:

In an unprecedented and in-depth documentary series, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex share the other side of their high-profile love story. Across six episodes, the series explores the clandestine days of their early courtship and the challenges that led to them feeling forced to step back from their full-time roles in the institution.

With commentary from friends and family, most of whom have never spoken publicly before about what they witnessed, and historians who discuss the state of the British Commonwealth today and the royal family’s relationship with the press, the series does more than illuminate one couple’s love story, it paints a picture of our world and how we treat each other.

From the critically acclaimed, two-time Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning director Liz Garbus, Harry & Meghan is a never-before-seen look at one of the most-discussed couples in history.

The Resident Season 6, Courtesy of Fox:

The compelling medical drama The Resident follows the doctors and nurses at Chastain Memorial Park Hospital. They work tirelessly to solve intricate medical cases, stopping at nothing to save their patients while facing challenges in their own lives.

Season five was a tumultuous journey, as our heroes at Chastain weathered several storms, including the devastating loss of the beloved Nurse Practitioner Nicolette Nevin. Now, entering a cutting-edge and electrifying sixth season, the stakes are at an all-time high. This season, pertinent topics are touched upon that push our characters to the limit while fighting for their patients’ lives. The season kicks off six months after we’ve last seen our heroes at Chastain. Chastain’s quality of care is put at risk and it’s up to our doctors to shine a light on the effects political corruption has on the healthcare system.

In the season premiere, DR. CONRAD HAWKINS (Czuchry) cozies up with his new love interest. Who will it be, DR. BILLIE SUTTON (Lucas) or DR. KINCAID (CADE) SULLIVAN (Kaley Ronayne)? Conrad’s journey continues as he balances his new love life, single fatherhood and saving patients at Chastain. Elsewhere, we’re catapulted into a gripping medical emergency for PADMA DEVI (guest star Aneesha Joshi) and her unborn twins, that will showcase the skills of Chastain’s new top pediatric surgeon, DR. IAN SULLIVAN (McCarthy), as he hides a dark secret surrounding addiction. If Ian’s secret leaks, it can cost him his job and his relationship with his daughter, Cade.

Stepping into fatherhood, we’ll see another side of the “Raptor” or DR. AJ AUSTIN (Warner) as he supports Padma all the way. The power couple DR. DEVON PRAVESH (Dayal) and DR. LEELA DEVI (Joshi) shine as Devon leads his own clinical trials and Leela is appointed Chief Resident. Chastain’s CEO, DR. KIT VOSS (Leeves), feels the stress of running a hospital when resources are low, and a new potential governor threatens to cut Chastain’s funding, all while supporting her love DR. RANDOLPH BELL (Greenwood) through his battle with MS.

This is a season of renewal and transformation for the doctors at Chastain as they step into new phases of their personal and professional lives.

CBS’s Blue Bloods season 13 episode eight, the fall finale, finds Danny investigating a gang attack. Directed by Jackeline Tejada from a script by Brian Burns, episode eight will air on Friday, December 9, 2022 at 10pm ET/PT.

The cast is led by Tom Selleck as Frank Reagan, Donnie Wahlberg as Danny Reagan, and Bridget Moynahan as Erin Reagan. Will Estes stars as Jamie Reagan, Len Cariou is Henry Reagan, Marisa Ramirez plays Det. Maria Baez, and Vanessa Ray is Officer Eddie Janko.

Season 13’s recurring guest stars include Abigail Hawk, Gregory Jbara, Robert Clohessy, Steven Schirripa, Andrew Terraciano, Peter Hermann, Dylan Walsh, and Ian Quinlan.

“Poetic Justice” Plot: Danny crosses paths with Sonny Le (Alex Duong), a criminal from a previous case, when he investigates a gang attack with a shocking motive. Also, Frank and Mayor Chase (Walsh) butt heads over an off-duty cop who goes too far making a political statement; Anthony worries Erin’s DA campaign could be threatened by her ex-husband Jack’s unsavory business connections; and Jamie investigates a potentially dirty officer whose identity may be close to home.

Blue Bloods Series Description:

Blue Bloods is a drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan is the New York Police Commissioner, and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry, during his stint as chief.

A source of pride and concern for Frank is his eldest son, Danny, a seasoned detective, family man and Iraq War vet who on occasion uses dubious tactics to solve cases with his partner and new mother, Detective Maria Baez. Erin, the middle daughter, is a New York assistant D.A. who serves as the legal compass for her siblings and father, while also pursuing a run for district attorney. Jamie is the youngest Reagan, a Harvard Law graduate and the family’s golden boy.

Unable to deny the family tradition, Jamie decided to give up a lucrative future in law and follow in the family footsteps as a cop. He’s found a friend and ally in his wife, Eddie, who keeps him on his toes, and has very different reasons than the Reagans for joining the police force.
