Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin (2022)
Not really loving it.
I have to admit I was excited for this reboot as I really enjoyed the original series. This was quite a disappointment as there is really little if any chemistry amongst the cast. Bailee Madison is out of her element as this material is much edgier than anything she's done. I don't understand why the character "A" is killing the children of the person who drove the young girl to suicide. Stopped at episode three and we'll see where it goes.
The Gray Man (2022)
Misses the Mark
The movie was not bad but had a chance to be so much better. There was way to much over the top death and destruction that really wasn't necessary. They didn't spend much time developing the characters which was a shame given they had so much talent amongst the cast. When a run time of over two the ending does disappoint.
Love & Gelato (2022)
A pretty average movie
This movie had an opportunity to be really good. The chemistry between the characters didn't work. It kinda just moves along at a sluggish pace and never hits the mark. There were a few parts of the movie that were funny and I watched it till the end. I would give it an average at best.
Conversations with Friends (2022)
Very European Show
It's a really good show but one you have to pay attention when you watch. It's very low key and it's not going for the heavy drama like U. S shows. Younger girl falls for older man with a wife who really doesn't seem to mind given her own infidelities. The lesbian who is still best friends with her bi-sexual ex kinda brings a different dynamic to the show. I thought is was entertaining and enjoyed it.
Reacher (2022)
Excellent Show
This was an excellent show. I read the book and usually the movie or TV show doesn't measure up but in this case it did. The actor who played the role of Jack Reacher even matched the picture on the book series. Well worth the time to binge watch.
Jingle Bell Princess (2021)
Enjoyable Christmas Movie
I have seen several of these Royal themed movies but this one was a little different. I liked the coming of age theme for an Aristocrat melding into the ordinary life of ordinary people. Definitely a new wrinkle. Something different as a lot of these movie have been sort of cookie cutter.
Nash Bridges (2021)
Very Good Reboot
Really enjoyed the movie. Don Johnson and Cheech Martin really haven't lost a step and have fantastic chemistry. The story was good and they should consider doing more stand alone movies. The supporting cast was pretty good and the writing was excellent.
Sex/Life (2021)
Interesting Show
Thought it touched on a often ignored part of what appears as a happily married couple. Kids and a big house in the suburbs sometimes one or both spouses neglect certain things. Sarah Shahi is still beautiful enough this show should get a high score based on that alone. The writing and story was entertaining and there's plenty of sex and nudity if that's your thing. Though it was funny they blurred certain parts out on a streaming platform given that your paying for the privilege of watching so if the sex bothers you don't have to watch it.
Clarice (2021)
A Good Idea
I like the premise of the show and the plot line but it's all over the place. Too many subplots and a lot of focus on the baggage of the characters. Wish they would spend more time on the main plot and let Clarice show her stuff.
A Nice Girl Like You (2020)
Pretty Funny
This was kind of a silly movie but was actually funny. Lucy Hale can be pretty funny when she is in a good role. This was a sex comedy and you either like that stuff or you don't. I personally did.
Blood & Treasure (2019)
Great Show
Kind of a take off on The Librarians. Fun show to watch not to complicated.
