I'm a long time Ari Melber regular. Recently however I've found that I can't get through his program. I am so sick of hearing about Trump's legal problems. If you watch this program on a regular basis you know all the key points. What I can't understand, is why Melber beats the same horse night after night when there's nothing really new to report. He needs to broaden his reporting on political issues. There's a lot more going on in the country that needs reporting and analysis. It seems to me that MSNBC is addicted to Mr Trump because the whole evening lineup has this same problem of fixation on our ex-president. One other complaint that I have is the predictable stable of 5-6 Talking Heads. For heaven's sake get some new faces Mr Melber, it would make your program a lot more interesting.

The story line is totally depressing and this is driven home by the excellent acting of Cotillard. It was so real in fact I wasn't sure I could watch past the first half of the movie. Others have complained that this couldn't have happened because surely someone would have reported the abandonment to the police. I disagree, as the whole thing takes place over just a few days and the mother and daughter have little to no safety net. Fortunately, the tension was somewhat relieved by the character of the carnival barker/ex-high diver Julio. The scene on the cliff top presaged the ending, which though predictable remained nevertheless moving. Somewhat disappointing to me was that nothing in the mother's despicable behavior was resolved. This is real life not Hollywood.

I'm a long time watcher of Morning Joe. I've about had it with Joe who just does not seem to know when to shut up. As a regular watcher his repetitive and lame verbiage including his incessant reminders about his time in Congress are to me like nails on a black board. Further he constantly restates the obvious which for the show's well informed audience has to be galling and insulting. Dump the silly banter about sports which seems to have become a regular feature. There are plenty of sports channels.
