Agatha Raisin (2014)
Brilliant Seasons 1 and 2, ruined by unconvincing and unappealing Season 3
What a pity! Agatha Raisin Season 1 and 2 were brilliant. But Season 3 is an unconvincing flop. It looks like the Director had television series 'Viscious' in mind, but failed to understand the charm and appeal of the perfectly cast actors in Season 1 and 2. The result of mis-typecasting these same, otherwise brilliant actors in Season 3 is a cheap television flop. What a sad way to go. The cast deserved better. And so did Agatha Raisin's audience. Agatha Raisin Seasons 1 and 2 took us back as an audience to whimsical charm : a long lost but much needed rest from the kind of cheap innuenedo that seems to have crossed over from Hollywood so-called 'Comedies" for all too long. I like to write positive reviews of movies and TV shows that I have liked -- and I just never bother write a negative reivew of something I don't. But I loved Agatha Raising 1 and 2 so much that I feel compelled to write this negative review of Season 3 because an otherwise brilliant TV series has been ruined.
Love on the Slopes (2018)
Absolutely Beautiful!
Such a wonderful, romantic and beautifully crafted movie-- one to watch over and over.. Love on the Slopes is both uplifting and, very teary, in parts. The script and direction are fantastic. The script offers so much more than a superficial girl meets boy love story...it has incredible depth... whoever the script writer is, is a genius! I am going to look them up and watch more of their movies. The photography is wonderful, offering glorious, pure escapism.. Gorgeous winter scenes to tempt even the most city-bound of us to venture further afield for some snow-capped magic! I love this movie and cannot rate it more highly enough.. Please watch it if you have a romantic heart.. You won't be disappointed.. and I am certain that you will revisit the movie again and again into the future.. Heavenly!
The Client (1994)
Brilliant!
A wonderful cast and great direction, and a storyline which twists and turns in most unexpected ways, make this movie one to watch over again! Brad Benfro, Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones are perfection in their roles, as are all the supporting cast. This is the kind of movie that makes watching deeply satisfying because there is always a thread of sound morality throughout the movie that makes it an uplifting movie when all is said and done. Unlike very many movies made recently, The Client's cast is filled with the kind of talented actors who give every gamut of emotion its rightful place. A brilliant and utterly compelling movie!
Double Jeopardy (1999)
Brilliant!
A brilliant, highly entertaining film, with a shocking revelation half-way through which keeps you on the edge of your seat until the film ends. A wonderful cast and a great script combine with wonderful photography to make this film such a pleasure to watch. Ashley Judd is enthralling from start to finish and, with an always compelling Tommy Lee Jones and Bruce Greenwood, show us what really good acting looks like! If you like movies that are tense and scary, this is the movie for you. If you like movies that are full of great action and which rely on brilliant performance and a great script instead of the usual machine gun load of expletives for drama, then this wonderful film is for you!
L'arnacoeur (2010)
One of my all time favourite movies!
When French movies are great, there are none better! L'amacoeur is one of those great comedies that keeps you laughing, and enthralled, until the very end. The acting is Fabulous! Each actor is pitch perfect, guaranteeing and abundance of laughter! And the three main stars are Gorgeous which never hurts! Brilliant script and direction. The story twists and turns in the most unexpected ways and kept me laughing out loud! This movie, with Ben Stiller's Heartbreak Kid, is at the top of my Best Comedies Ever: movies! I could watch both these movies again and again and never get bored because they are both so Brilliant!
Lupin (2021)
Highly Addictive!!
Beware!! One you start watching, you will find yourself binge watcing, as I did, because the series is absolutely fantastic, from start to finish! A brilliant production. Wonderful actors. Action that keeps you on the edge of your seat... Lupin is funny, thrilling and also deeply moving. At times, it is heartbreaking. There is a brilliant mix of real life past hardship which keeps you rooting for Lupin through trials and tribulations, and a very satisfying amount of fun, action-packed fantasy. The combination is incredibly potent and keeps you coming back for more despite knowing that the hours of the day are slipping by! All very worthwhile. This is one of those series which soars straight to the top of the class, and which will surely become an eternal, much loved classic! To watch it is to love it!
Fisk (2021)
What a Brilliant series - How I wish they would make Series 3!
I found this Brilliant series by chance on Netflix! What a dream! Fabulous actors, all of them. A great script and production. The Series is witty and often surreal, and put me in mind from time to time of the American Series 'Modern Family', except that Fish and Modern Family are stand along works of genius. I laughed out loud and, often, had little tears at the most poignant moments-- and watched, and watched and watched, right into the early hours of the morning the Series is so good! All in all, an Absolutely glorious Series 1 & 2, and I only wish they would make Series 3. I am going to watch Fisk 1 & 2 again: I can't get enough of Brilliant Helen and her teammates! Well done and thank you Helen and All for entertaining us so Beautifully. A 10 star Series all the way!
The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem (2021)
Fabulous!
The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem is an epic television series, spanning decades of duress for the Jewish people in Palestine. It is really about love through the ages, and the elation, the disappointment, the joy and the tragedy associated with it. Beyond the wonderful setting, the fabulous and entirely convincing directing and acting, and the beautiful and deeply moving storyline, The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem is helpful for everyone who would like a better understanding of what it was to live as the Jewish people before they were finally given their own state. I am not a Jew but even at the very young age of nine when I first heard adults speaking about the atrocities committed against the Jewish people during World War II, I was outraged. It is easy to be kind. We must learn from our history to be kind to each other. We must learn to understand that we are each of us equal to each other. Flesh, bone, the same hearts, the same minds, the same needs the same hopes. Stories such as The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem enable us to see with our own eyes the suffering caused by prejudice and bigotry. We care about the good characters in the story, and their pain becomes our own. I loved this television series, and really look forward to discovering more of the amazing director, Oded Davidoff's,work.
Glamorous (2023)
FABULOUS!
Charming, fun, sweet and witty! I watched this fabulous TV series in two days! It cheered me up no end! A terrific cast, a fun, lively storyline, and positive, feel good emotions.....with just a little touch of healthy drama to keep audiences interested. Heaven! Anything with Kim Cattrall is a winner. How Kim manages to look eternally BEAUTIFUL is a mystery. Eternally soft, beautiful features, I never tire of seeing her on screen. And Kim always adds that lovely pizzaz that made Sex in the City so watchable because she was in it. Miss Benny is adorable, as are all the cast. A special shout out for Kim's son in the TV Series :Gorgeous!! I hope Series 2 follows. Completely disagree with any negative reviews: there is plenty of Viewer room for Feel Good TV Series! Love, love, love. Thank you Netflix!
The Exchange (2023)
FABULOUS!
Fabulous! A great, highly addictive production. Wonderful acting and storyline. I was gripped from Episode 1 and was really drawn into the lives of all the characters and cared about what happened to them. It is so good to watch a TV series with old-fashioned values but which feels very modern. Series 1 is exciting and humorous with heart-wrenching twists: a wonderful combination. I can't see online if Series 2 is planned but hope so much that it is. I miss the charactters and would love to watch what happens to them next! Thank you so much, Netflix! A hugely enjoyable TV Series. Well done to everyone involved! The Exchange rocks!
The Hating Game (2021)
Love this great movie!
Brilliant script and actors for a perfect romcom feelgood movie to watch any day of the year, rain or sunshine! One to definitely watch again and again. Love, love, love!
The Gilded Age (2022)
Brilliantly addictive!
I make a habit of rarely watching series until they are over so that I can binge watch rather than waiting an agonising week to know what happens next! Having done just this with Downtown Abbey, and loved it, I understood at last what everyone had been raving about for so long. Alas, bewitched by Julian Fellowes', I couldn't help watching the first episode of The Gilded Age and I am now agonising, week by miserable week, over what might happen next....
I see lots of positive reviews, and many negative, but I LOVE this series.... For its wonderful cast, its stunning costumes and set designs, and of course, Julian Fellows's great storyline. Some like blood and gore and a fever pitch of endless menace with everything graphically visceral. I love the subtlety Julian Fellowes brings to all his storylines. Everything is there, heaven and hell, but in a way that leaves his audience hope, and a much needed hope nowadays that good really will overcome evil in the end. The more of Julian Fellowes on our screens the better!
Red Notice (2021)
Brilliant Movie!
Please make more movies like this!! What a brilliant trio! Pure entertainment. Really good, clean fun with a great script and a really great feel-good factor.
Speak (2004)
Outstanding
Every girl should watch this movie and learn to speak the moment something untoward happens. An outstanding movie with an important message with brilliant actors who make the movie mesmerising from start to finish.
Marseille (2016)
Love this show
Love this show. Gerard Depardieu is brilliant! Please make more series!
