Madam Secretary (2014)
Good start
For me as an European I watched this show, as many other on the same subject, as an entertainment and not as an intellectual and purist page of pure politic..... Comparing Tea Leoni's character with Hillary Clinton is just BS, in my humble opinion as a foreigner, Tea is in every way a lot better, no comparison, if only the US will have a woman like this show is portraying, I'll bet she would be the next President... unfortunately it doesn't. I can understand if you are a politician or in any way work in the system, well, probably you'd be disappointed with the terminology and accuracy of the script. I would say this is a show not for you or for any social aggressive, intolerant or cynic, anti-religious, racist or plain and simple ignorant. I enjoyed the scenery, music, costumes, and above all a fresh cast: powerful and with very good acting. The script is articulate, intelligent with good references and subtext. There are some clichés why not? They give it a more real approach; we do have them all around us. That it has some religious context, why not? Is not your religion? Or you're an atheist, or you consider yourself above all religion believes?! Good for you! And so on and so forth. If you don't agree or like something, just ignore it or be active and ask yourself why is it there? Perhaps there is a reason, even if the reason is no reason at all and it was just a nonsensical thing... :- ) Sit back and enjoy the show, if you don't like it, you know what to do, just switch to another one, or read a good book or spend some time doing what you love. Don't punish yourself watching something you don't like just to go ahead and spread your anger for everyone to see as if the rest of the world would have to listen and follow!!!. I hope I'll be entertained with this show if not I'll change and search for another one. Making comparisons is not bad but trying to compare everything!!! I just think you lose perspective... and is bad for your health.... Be positive and constructive, there is enough violence and intolerance in the world, let's try and be proactive and contribute for a better and fairer society... it begins in each and every one no matter your colour, religious believes or social status... BE HAPPY!! Contributing in a positive way...
Continuum (2012)
Reference to MONSANTO
The reference to MONSANTO as SONMANTO is very actual and hope people will be more aware of the danger of this and other big actual corporations ... Overall I find this show entertaining with some episodes better than others. The subject of time travelling is interesting. Good new tech concepts and gadgets. A troublesome future, dark and violent where we are all slaves to a even worse reality that the one we leave in today, in a financial system that enslaves the majority of beings in to debt, when they default they are converted into zombies and free labour for the corporations ... Of course behind the corporations are people and we the people allowed that to exist...
The Tudors (2007)
Shame it could have been such a good show !!
Watching The Tudors now for the first time, I know it's late but I see that some posts are still alive :-) and I felt the need to write about it. I can watch the 4 seasons straight so it's better. I'd like to say that Jeremy Northam as Thomas More, was real good to see him work and the series lost so much with him gone; despite the work of very good and consecrated actors, good actors and aspiring actors he is one that really set the bar high. Natalie Dormer I'm sorry but hope she would learn how to act; she may be a good person, that's beside the point. As an actress go back to basics: moves, gaze, drop the facial expressions pleeeease, line of character!! It is really painful to watch, it's her fault as much as the casting director and all those responsible for casting her. But above all the bad acting!? - Jonathan Rhys Meyers - how can it be possible to be such a miscast, his looks can go so far as the first episodes after that he has to produce a strong character with the dimension and complexity of Henry the VIII at least, and basically be able to come across as a monarch not as a street ganger, with totally wrong facial expressions, moves, poses, lac of royal pose, after all he's a King and was born and educated to be one, it's not you grocery delivery boy down the street that was just promoted to be King. To immature for this role. Despite all the reason: historical mistakes, plain and simple insults to other cultures - the episode with Portugal and the appalling Spanish accent of the actors that are supposed to be Spanish - the wardrobe and jewellery, so called poetic licences, I consider it to be very dishonest intellectually and a better job could have been done. It takes the same amount of time to do something much better than these with all the means that we see were available. I consider it not to be just by history and to be misleading with the false historical creations. Make money but be honest, hahaha that's a thought!!! I heard that was produced specially for the American market, wow! that's a pretty big statement: so, it's for the Americans it's OK, they don't care about history and as long as it has pretty people in it, lots of sex scenes, and looks old and historical, everything goes.... so sad !!! Do it! with all this ingredients if you must, but do it RIGHT!! There, I let it out of my system... had to! I'm up to season 3 let's see what surprises are there... hope not to have the urge to write again :-) lol
The Third Wish (2005)
Impossible to watch
I did try to keep watching to see if it would get better, but it didn't. The acting, the script, impossible. If it's considered a family movie it is to contribute to a retarded society. Sorry but I really was annoyed and felt cheated. Anything that I can say further to this movie will be much worse. The overacting of the main characters, the forced scenes in many situations putting the characters in an apparently very uncomfortable situation. I recommend not to see it if you don't want to be annoyed; some many clichés and pour copies of other movies. I kept imagining how could it be less worse, change the actors to begin with, bad acting!!and bad acting it's also bad directing, so change the direction to. Maybe it would be possible but I doubt!!!
