Alex Borstein The Marvelous Mrs Maisel

ALEX BORSTEIN DOESN’T ALWAYS LOOK LIKE HER MRS MAISEL CHARACTER

Here’s an actress who doesn’t have a lot of glamorous photos in circulation. Alex Borstein, 48, has had a successful career in comedic acting and voice-over work, but we didn’t become aware of her until she appeared on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. Alex plays Midge’s tough and mannish manager Susie and she’s won two Emmys for doing it. The cast is in NY promoting the new third season which premiers Dec 6 (we can hardly wait!) and Alex turned up in this cute red coat and fishnet stockings.

Martin Scorsese National Board of Review The Irishman

EXACTLY WHO IS THIS “NATIONAL BOARD OF REVIEW” THAT THINKS THE IRISHMAN IS BEST FILM OF 2019?

The National Board of Review (whatever THAT is) just outed itself as an all-MALE organization when they named the all-male movie The Irishman as Best Film of 2019. Really? Like most people, we watched it over the Thanksgiving weekend and felt it was MUCH too long and essentially, boring. The visuals of a bygone era were delicious (the cinematographer and set decorators should be credited) but didn’t make up for the total lack of female characters and proliferation of dull men. After less than two hours we were sick of all the egotistical mobsters at any age. We never thought we’d tire of Martin Scorsese’s characters, but we’ve had enough. That “man’s world” is, fortunately, OVER.
