Archie (2023)
4/10
The lack of perspective is what's missing
23 May 2024
When I read the original reviews, I look forward in watching this TV series. Grant is one of my favourite actors and I've seen him in every single show he's been in. I was hoping this TV series would be longer and maybe spend more time on how he went through his career. I would love to see how, Different movies came about, I would've loved to hear how he became a free agent and able to demand up to $1 million a picture in a time with most Actors specific Studio. I was disappointed with the younger cary Grant. I felt that the portrayal in the actor was just not good enough and let's be honest, not looking enough. It would be great to know more about his life before he third marriage. Instead, we get a lot of his marriage which was towards the end of his career and most people know about Grant is through the movies and it being great to see what happened when he was younger. The series go back-and-forth however, spend too much time in the present of 1963 and 64 then it is earlier. This is where the series lacks they could easily added two more or maybe even three more episode and spend more time when he was going through the movies to give a little glamour of his life back then. Well, some people think it was nice to see how he did after the fact that he was known in the early 40s and 50s and that would've been a more better portrayal Grant. The show is boring. The show a time was too much of a focus on the marriage, where we are aware that he had two other marriages and we just glimpse them. I understand that the movie was produced by the wife and the children of cary Grant Mr. Third wife and I can see why they wanted to focus that but I believe they could've been series about cary Grant's life and that I give a low score.

Baby Reindeer (2024)
7/10
Good chill if you're willing to get through the first two episodes
4 May 2024
Overall, the show is very good. I like the way it's put together I even like the idea of the misspelled words. But for people to really enjoy the show, you really have to get through the first and second episodes. This is not the kind of show that will grab your attention from the very beginning and keep it. It is a very slow burn and you can easily fall asleep. I do wish that at the end of the whole thing to give a little bit more details of the true story. I do hope there is no second season there is no need for a second season , and appreciate at the end, which eventually gives the meaning to the title. If you can survive the first two episodes, I believe you enjoy the show.

Lupin (2021– )

how to do tv right when the lead actor is black
29 April 2024
I wanted to put that title and I was hoping that somebody in America would see it and notice something about the show.

The show works because they don't care if the guys black white green or purple. For an actor that is so tall it's great to see how he disguise himself. Love the acting, love the story, especially the first and second season. The third season was a little bit uneven, but still better than most TV shows in America. It's nice to see a different version of Paris with some good actors that played the villains. You can tell that they spent some money on this TV show. They decided not to leave Anything out. The dubbing is excellent, I'm pretty sure that the main actor is doing his own English dubbing as most of the other actors.

Elvis (2022)
8/10
great presentation but this is not a movie about elvis
22 March 2024
The one thing people have to realize is that this movie is not about elvis. The actor who won best actor did a wonderful job as Elvis and he deserved the award. The way the movie was put together was well done. But other than the actually singing, the movies lacked the real relationship between elvis and the Parker. Yes the Parker was an add and he did a lot to Elvis which in a way it made him what he became. While Elvis on stage was him and he commands the stage. His personal life was a shamble. He was like a spoil kid in a candy store.

I would love to a true Elvis movie the book I enjoyed and wish they would make a tv series out of it. Was the.book Me and a Guy named Elvis. What I loved about this book is that he showed all side of Elvis. The compassion Elvis, the Funny Elvis, the nutty Elvis and the musical talent of Elvis it was a complete 360 degree of Elvis.

Art of Love (2024)
4/10
poor in very way- except for the locations
20 March 2024
I thought that hallmark movies were only for north America . , but in this case this movie could have worked if they took a little more time and maybe some better actors. I am not sure if it's the story because premisses is there and this should been a very good movie. Great location just poor acting and editing is the only i can think why this movie is so bad even for a romance movie in the end i keep watching it not because of the movie location and beautiful scenary which is excellent. So with that in mind i gave it a 4 stars. But it could have been much better oh well enjoy it as long it's free dont pay for it.

Red Queen (2024)
9/10
some good quality show
3 March 2024
I never read the book, so I have no idea what this shows was about. I thought it was casted very well, I like the interaction between the characters, but yet not forgetting the twist and turns of the plot. From all the reviews that are Rent it seems the tv show did a wonderful job following the book.

The TV show, decided not to dwell too much character development. Like most TV shows do. This start straightforward, and the plot is about. This kind of storytelling works great to keep the viewers. Interested and then reveal the characters characteristics through their actions and through the plot. I love the way The created the story and narratives with visuals. This kind of storytelling is starting to become more popular and eternity creates an interesting way of telling the story. This is a very good TV show, and the dubbing in English was excellent and highly recommended.

The Creator (2023)
8/10
could had a happy ending ... but in doing so it would have
16 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
When I saw the previews of this movie, it does not give justice to the meaning of the show. The movie takes a long time to get to the point but in doing so the movie actually should've been probably another 20 minutes longer. Great special effects to me a very good story. It was interesting to see that mankind was the evil and AI was the good. The action was excellent. The emotional impact of its characters was great. All the ending justified the means and maybe they were thinking of doing a sequel and that is the reason they left as it is, but it would've been nice if they had an overall happy ending. But I see what the director is doing. Sometimes sacrifices is required, but the ultimate good and maybe that's why it ended the way it did.

Julia (2022–2023)
10/10
One of the best
13 January 2024
The first season was excellent. It captured the humor, the intelligent and the emotion of the character. It was fun to watch kind of a Ted Lasso, except for cooking instead of soccer. The character of Julia is very uplifting and give strength to women who may not be, perfect. It provides the concept that inside, and the confidence that you have within yourself can shine any physical imperfections. This is the kind of TV show. The women and kids should be watching. It gives hopes and is also a well written, well acted and is a kind of TV show that I would proud to show my girls . The second season for the first two episodes, especially or letdown. They try to flush out the other characters, but let's be honest the only true character is Julia and because of that that should be the complete focus of the show towards the third and fourth, fifth episode , the focus goes back to Julia and the show starts to shine. I highly recommend it as one of the best TV series out there.

Role Play (2024)
5/10
great idea just not to much fun
13 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The movie started out strong and it could have been fun. If i had done this movie i would have gotten rid of the whole kids thing and just have a husband and wife idea. The movie should have been more fun with more scenes of them trying to get away and him finding out more about her through out the movie. The whole concept of killing could have been played for fun. Instead the one joke. And very weak ending. Too bad the idea was great and they had the right actors to play the roles but would have been better if he did not find out so quickly. The whole movie seemed to be rushed with no real ending and not knowing where to go. To bad.

I Hate Christmas (2022– )
7/10
same tv shows as the Norway tv show called coming home
26 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Started to watch this tv show because it looked interesting after the second episode, i realized this is the same tv show as the norway one that was done last year. Now I do like the english actress who does the voice for this one better as the other one the dubbed voice was very annoying to a point that my wife could not watch it. Both actress in this one and the other show are good. There re some differences between the two shows and the italian one added a little bit more of how the main chatter in which the norway tv show does not have but the whole idea and most of the episode are the same. The movie episode was intial word for word. However, the music seems to be better on this show. Some really good music and overall the dubbing is much better. I did end up watching both series because i like the story and it was interesting to see the difference in stories but overall it was a good show. Something different than your normal hallmark movies.

The Flash (I) (2023)
9/10
The problem with the flash was the trailer they should be fired whoever did the trailers
24 June 2023
Update, Here is why I think this movie has not done as well as it should have. First of all don't listen to the critics this probably one of the best dc movies. It was fun to arch great story and great excitement. If the trailer would have shown the action more and then focus on the fun of it. He movie would have reached a broader audience. I am disappointed because his movie won't do well, even though it will make its money back. They won't make a second or a third. Which is to bad. The thing is while the movie could have been reduce in time by properly about 10 to 15 minutes , I loved that the director did worry about showing everything at once and let he audiences decidedly what to watch.

To bad ther won't be another one made it was a great show

Not sure what people are complaining about. I love this movie and I have not been with the latest superhero movie. It was fun enjoyable movie. The special effects were some of the best i have seen in a long time. The way they blend together. The comedy was funny, the acting as excellent one of the best i have seen in a long time. The problem i think people find is that there was not lots of action, however a very good story and flash, the two batman were great. Would have love to see superman and move of wonderwomen? But over an excellent film. Please note there is so much action that you need to watch this on a big screen. I loved the way the action was presented instead of cuts here and there. They let the camera sit back and you can chose what to watch.

FUBAR (2023– )
9/10
A fun, enjoyable TV show
2 June 2023
Don't get me wrong, when I first saw the previews of this TV show I was looking forward to it. White Schwarzenegger that is why. He's one of the few actors who doesn't mind making fun of himself, but yet the whole Shaw is actually serious. Has decent action, and some good acting. The characters are enjoyable, and they seem to be having lots of fun doing this kind of a show. But of course, the true star of this show is Arnold.

He may be a super spy, but he's a man who's trying to connect with his family. This is one of those shows you don't mind watching old eight episodes at once. I'm looking forward to the new season just to see what they come up with. I say, give it a chance and take it as it is a fun, enjoyable action adventure, with lots of clichés that made Arnold Schwarzenegger famous.

james bond at its best . this should have been the movie
10 April 2023
When i first saw this movie thought would be like all his movies. Lots of good action but nothing else. This movie is totally the opposite with a fun and enjoyable time.

This so what the old james bond movies were like. This movie would H e done well i. The cinema if they brought to the movie. Some great acting, excellent action and good overall acting.

The nice things about this is that it takes you to a place where most of us are not able to go. Plus some really good action.

I truly enjoy this movie, and it was fun and great acting by Hugh Grant who stole the movie. I am not a big fan guy richie. He tends to make his movie to long and there re always to many dead spot. But this movie and it's longer then needs be worked in it's flavour. So sit back and enjoy the wonder of a good movie.

It's great to see a show that uses old style acting and comedy but in a refreshing way
24 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The premises is simple, take every day things that we take for granted put in a time period where women normally don't do those things add a cast of characters and some great acting and writing ability, and create one of the funniest and most complete TV shows. Season one was fantastic, season two carried on very well, season three had its ups and downs, but season four brought it back up. Season five well hey lost their timing and very poor ending, it was to bad that they could give it a proper being. Maybe they thought it would be saved and come back for another season. Because it sure looks like that. Otherwise we are lost to see her actual succeed. Ben though in the final season we see that she made it, but we don't see how she made it. And that is sad.

On their the hand as per the premises, I think the best thing about this show is not meant to be extremely funny, but allows you to laugh at yourself. If your lady who watches the show, you can't believe some of the things that they used to go through in the old days. But if you are, Guy you would appreciate the laughter. Let's be honest the show is good because of the writing and the actors that are involved plus I like the idea that they decided to spend some money on the background on the costumes on the whole set I highly recommend this show.

Let's hope they don't have a second season because it will ruin it
11 March 2023
When you first watch this tv show you don't recognize the concept it's well disguised and because they have perfect actor to play the main lead. It works. The good news by the time you figure it out it will be closer to the seven episode. But it does not matter because the journey is fun to watch. I hope they don't have a second season because it will ruin the show. The acting is top notch, the continue twist and turns makes the show fun to watch.so sit back don't think to much and I am courteous of anybody can figure out the co copy and where this concept is based on. Just a hint it is based on an old experiment they did in the 60's I believe. They have quite a few movie based on this concept but this one takes it another level. Great job.

Cobra (1986)
9/10
A fun movie with some of the best lines in cinema
10 December 2022
This movie did not get the love that should have received. Put together after Stallone turned down Beverly Hills cops. This movie take a life of its own. With excellent one lines and some great casting love the fun of the movie. The on thing you should know when you watch the movie is not to be caught up with the plot. Because if you think about it who cares about the plot. It is the characters that make this movie so much fun. The scene when they interview the witnesses in the hospital or the first scene in the movie are the best. Full of and enjoyable moments. So Sri back and enjoy the movie.

Quantum Leap (2022–2024)
9/10
It keeps the heart of the original, and expands the Myth
30 October 2022
When I first thought that they were going to redo the most beloved TV series of all time I thought they must be crazy. The show has caught on a mistake in the heart of the original and put some incredible twists. Don't let the first episode deterred you from watching this series. Once you get to the characters you know what they're trying to establish the things they wanted to do in your previous show to bring The into this year. I highly recommend it it's close to the original as you can get.

I am happy that they decided not to have the main character be a women, the main reason for this by having the character being a man it allows for more options for the simple fact that men don't take themselves so seriously but yet the character can bring about serious stories and issues. I believe if given enough time this show will have a very long life. But something tells me that it may not get passed this one season. Main reason not enough advertising and nobody knows it's on. I hope this changes.

A film that would just follow the book would receive a 10
30 October 2022
I've now seen all three movies made by Ron Howard. Each film being worse than the other. They say the book is always better than the movie, however this is only true if you decide that getting to the end of the story is more important than telling the story. Dan Brown books it's not about the ending but more important how it gets to it. His ability to put together a string of facts emotions and movement it's nothing I've ever read. Dan Brown's biggest disappointment in any of his books happens to be the ending. However I think he knows that and that's why I spent so much time putting together a story as intrigue and creates an illusion to make sure you feel your part of the complete story. For example, the movie took the first hundred pages of the book which sets up what the whole story is about and took less than three minutes skipped the whole set up thanking the people already know and it's not important. This is the problem with the movie, It forgets that the reason why the books are so popular is the great detail and characterization in places and emotions. Tom hanks is perfect as the main character, what makes the Book so popular it's where it's located the scenery places with normal people were not able to go that's what this book takes you to. The movie does not take this into consideration and because of that the movies become boring time consuming and a lack of pure adrenaline. I almost wish the Ron Howard show me the movie and I could tell him what's missing. Imagine the movie being a great dish and while the dish looks beautiful you forget a few spices that makes a dish taste fantastic that's what this movie lacks it has the stars it has the location and has the beauty however he misses the spices that will make this movie phenomenal. For example, the first hundred pages of the book is extremely important what causes the whole chain of events is determined in the first hundred pages the movie skips and bypasses other sections of the book just to get the story going however the movie tries to get to the end it forgets in the middle. You can't have a great movie without contacts, you just assume that the person who's watching the movie has read the book and in actuality if you watch this movie it's better if you never read the book otherwise your head the movie just like me. One last thought I've never seen the full movie before I started reading the book decided that I want to watch the movie and I read the first hundred pages of the book. Watch the rest the movie it was a mistake I recommend if you love reading books read the book skip the movie if you don't like reading books and you have no desire with the book was truly about I'm just watching a movieOverall the movies OK has beauty Tom Hanks is good it just like everything else.

Memory (I) (2022)
4/10
Great concept but feels short
12 October 2022
Great concept but feels short. Let's be honest it's hard to see us almost an 80 year old man fighting. But Mr. Nelson is a very good afternoon. Great idea it could've been an incredible fun enjoyable movie a great way to take a move it's very serious and make things around them funny. I understand the dimension on all timers is not a funny thing but in actuality this could've been a very interesting movie. Think about this way I hit man who is known to basic kill anything that's been told to forgets who needs to kill and then realizes from his past mistakes that may be what he's doing he's not a good idea always he forgets who he is and what he supposed to do and he turn trans against those people who paid him to kill other people that would've been a more interesting movie but this movie did not go far enough And because of that this movie failed Bali.

House of the Dragon (2022– )
6/10
Excited but disappointed
12 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
When I first heard I bought his new series I was very excited. After all you had one amazing two seasons of Game of Thrones. However, I am very disappointed with the shell it sounds to me like they're trying to extend something in order to make it longer than it should be. I would've preferred they did a six episode limited. Then drag on some of the most boring dialogue I've ever heard at times it is difficult to watch. I keep watching but only because of his predecessors, but things have to get better I'll just shut this thing down it's getting extremely annoying maybe what they should do is do what they did in the first series kill all the main actors And they start all over or just put more sex into it maybe they'll make the show better either way I hope it gets better. Last thing I have no idea who so-called people say that this show is phenomenal one of the best I've ever seen keeps you guessing and all that crap they must have gotten our a lot of money.

Was. It supposed like it but I do
12 October 2022
When I first heard about the mini series, I really hated it. I believe that when you take original work and you are not the original person to bring the story back to life normally something gets lost. But I was wrong, even if you've never seen or read the Lord of the rings or the hobbit you can enjoy the show. The visual effect, The scenery, and the great character development has really brought this show to new Heights. You still have lots of what makes lord the rings so powerful and popular. Unlike the other show, The House of Dragon, The show Bring storytelling to a new level. The fighting sequence are excellent and really looking forward to what happens next.

New Amsterdam (2018–2023)
10/10
Close to perfect you can get.
12 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I have never given. Anything a 10 star and I was worried in the second season as it was getting away from what the show started out as. What so great about the show. It's just about the surgery, which they have but are not that important. But it's about the people in the hospital. What I really enjoy is how small characters or even extras are not just extra. They have a purpose, they are part of the show I did notice that the show came back after it lost its way when it decided to focus on 6-8 different character where they all get a chance to shine. And if a story line is not working properly they just cut it out quickly and move on. For example the story line of Dr. Bloom, her character started to care about somebody and it made her soft which in turn took away from the main character and what was liked of her character. The produce recognized this and moved away from that story line. Also notice that the fun in the show was brought back especially when the new producer took over. Shawn cCassidy came on board. He brought the fun back in what the show was loved for.

Bad as it can get
26 August 2022
What would they thinking ? Take a goodcomicbook and decide to get the worst Director and possible screenwriteand create a movie that only stoned and drunk people will watch. I always try to give a movie a chance, sometimes movies take time to develop. I watch the first 20 minutes had to shut it down Eventually finish the movie if it wasn't for peacemaker and Halle Quinn this movie will be considered the worst movie ever made so here's my advice skip the movie and watch the TV Siri peacemaker.

Can't believe they cancelled it
21 July 2022
This is a great series and takes the book to a new level. Unlike the movie which was great. This tv series went into such great details and it was written, acted and directed. It is so sad that we won't be able to see the ending. I would have loved to see how it would change compared to the book.

Maybe if enough people research thw 6 episode they may bring it back.
