Ross (3284 KP) rated Star Trek: Picard - Season 1 in TV
Apr 2, 2020
Stewart tries well to play his most famous role, but his age shows at times and I felt the makers missed the chance to sensitively keep his character but replaced with a younger actor in the last episode. This would have allowed Stewart to bow out gracefully and show more promise for the future series of his life.

Jon Hamm is great as an American recruiter sent to India in an attempt to bolster his teams pitching prospect pipeline. Seemingly hopeless upon arrival, JB (Hamm) conducts a sort of makeshift tryout that brings interest from all over the area. A few potential candidates show enough promise to pursue, and teach the game of baseball.
The story that follows is quite amazing and very interesting. The follow up on the real life versions of the characters portrayed in the film shows just how accurate (of course some artistic value is added) the story is and what an exceptional reality those involved lived.
Great movie for any baseball fan or a fan of a feel good story that doesn't know boundaries.

Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose in Books
Nov 20, 2017
Unlike most books by politicians, "Promise Me, Dad" is committed to communicating to us the values and principles of a family man who happens to have been a senior member of government.
His most compelling narration comes in the form of him discussing his hopes, fears, dreams and nightmares through which a family succumbs while dealing with cancer. I became emotional listening to him break down while discussing the death of his son - his voice audibly trembles which is why the audiobook gives a whole new depth to the biography.
Warm, insightful and thought-provoking.
